Not Sansom St. Sansom is up by the McDonalds. The McClatchy building is on 69th between Market & Ludlow. McClatchy was the contractor who built most of the eastern parts of Upper Darby. Mainly the Cardington-Stonehu rst, and Bywood areas. Those are the neighborhoods that surround 69th St. basically. The McClatchy Real Estate Company was in business for many years. They may still be for all I know. (Wednesday | post #3)
I am 41, and I remember the Carol Burnett Show very well. My parents watched it all the time. There are so many channels now that you don't need big ratings to get ad bucks anymore. Everything is spread so thin, plus so many people channel surf. But you're right. The problem is with the viewing public. People watch too much garbage. Especially now-a-days with all this reality shit. I'll never understand why anyone would give a shit about John & Kate, and the Cardashian girls. I mean, seriously, who gives a fuck?! People are just mindless cattle, I guess. (Wednesday | post #7)
Well somebody watches the old shows, because it's all about the advertising dollar, Hoff. If those shows weren't bringing in revenue, then they wouldn't be showing them. (Monday Dec 14 | post #4)
Cops: Stabber interrupted conjugal visit
He sure surprised her. And she surprised him, too. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!! Surprises all around. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #1)
So you're not a Lawrence Welk fan, eh Hoff? I'm a little surprised. I kinda would've thought you were a Lawrence Welk guy. I actually have the same birthday as Welk. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #2)
Town Enforces Curfew to Fight Vandalism
NO political party runs a positive campaign anymore (if they ever did). You say you're an independent, but you're trashing one party. Sounds like a dem lying to trash his opponents. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #109)
Town Enforces Curfew to Fight Vandalism
ABSOLUTELY!!! Looks like someone besides me sees you for the hypocrite you are, Joe. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #108)
'Wolf pack' attacks plague Upper Darby
Yes, Midway, it was a neighborhood once upon a time. I grew up right around the corner from there on Wilshire. I mean, there were some assholes, but it wasn't dangerous to walk around at night like it is now. There is a stubborness in the black community to call police, and testify against criminals. Some say they fear retaliation, but that's bullshit. These little piss ant street thugs don't have that kind of power, especially if they're in jail. They've become apathetic to the crime situation because it's all they've ever lived with. Also cooperating with police is considered "Uncle Tom-ish". (Sunday Dec 13 | post #53)
'Wolf pack' attacks plague Upper Darby
Why do they not believe in honor and respect? Is the end of the world nigh? Maybe the world really will end on December 21st, 2012 like the Mayan calendar predicts. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #52)
What park? Naylor's Run Park? If that's the park you mean, then yes, sort of. it's about a mile south of the park. At the area in the picture it's running between Long Lane, and Wycombe Ave. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #5)
Hoff is right. Westbrook Park is part of Upper Darby Township. It just has the Clifton zip code. For some reason all the Westbrook Parkers like to say they're from Clifton, like that's any better than Upper Darby. (Sunday Dec 13 | post #108)
Life is just grand, Davey old boy. I just haven't been online too much lately, but it's nice to know I was missed. Happy Holidays (whichever one(s) you want) to ALL! (Sunday Dec 13 | post #1188)
Nevermind. He was the brother of my cousin's husband. Real bad news. But forget all that, Dave!! Did you see the latest news out of Darby Township? Some fat, white pig stole $100,00 from the Briarcliffe Fire Company. I said I'd try to keep up with the LOCAL stories. But how does she get that much money before anyone realizes it???? I don't get it! This happens all the time anymore. Don't people read the news and see that you can't give any one person total authority over group finances. People are just thick-headed, and dumb.
