I don't drive on my days off because everything you need is withing walking distance. It's close to the Schullkill River bike/run path, and close enough to enjoy the city skyline, but not deal with the city.
I avoid walking around in uniform, or walking in unfamiliar places at night. It's called Killadelphia for a reason
Oh, and the airport sucks with delays, lazy ground handlers, bad employee parking and poor runway layout.
It's funny, everybody is telling me how lazy the ground handlers are, every single person that I talk to about the airport.
Fairmount sounds like a cool place, the park also looks nice. Do you know how the Park Towne Place apartments are?
