Drag racing on Front Street in Philadelphia -
Sometime between the wee hours and sunrise on weekends
the cops would open the fire hydrants to spray across the road
signalling the end of the evening's racing. (This was early-mid 1980s)
.
"Front Street was famous for illegal drag racing from the
1950's to the 1980's.
In it's peak, it wasn't uncommon to have over 100 cars
participating in street racing, while literally having
over 1000 people watching, only to have the Philly
police come in and break it up."

(The big-block MOPARS would always win, of course.)
Much better times - cheap tacos, cheap burgers
Guys were guys, girls were girls.
We had never heard of Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
And you could hear the “Rockford Files” theme song on the radio station.
