Hey, Let’s All Go Hang Out in Rittenhouse Square!
That seemed to be the mentality on Saturday. According to a CBS 3 report, residents flocked to Rittenhouse Square over the weekend. Video shows residents sitting around, some in close proximity to each other. Plenty of people without masks.
We’ve seen similar displays in other parks over the last month. And police did kick picnickers and others out of one South Philly park a few weeks ago. So while some people have clearly received the stay-at-home message loud and clear, others have not.

How many cases of coronavirus transmission by young people sitting outside in the sunshine have ever been reported?
That this is Philly -- about as indigo-blue as it gets -- is encouraging.

Philly is a GFY city.
We don’t care to be told how to behave(misbehave).

The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are doing a flyover tomorrow, so I expect lots of people will be out in Philadelphia to see them.
To: Kid Shelleen
And so it begins. If only these people would realize the real problem isn’t a lockdown, but the politicians they elected who are abusing their power.
To: Kid Shelleen
This is how it will go everywhere, at the people’s pace.

As a gentle reminder, the stay-at-home order does allow you to go outside for some fresh air, but only for exercise. So you can walk. You can run. Walking your dog is allowed. Bike riding? Encouraged. Picnicking or otherwise hanging out in a park? Nope. Oh wow.
How generous of their overlords to give them permission to leave their homes.

For approved activities, of course.
And no having fun allowed while you are out on your state approved excursion.

Yet Philly keeps electing Democrats. Who can't help but tell the citizens exactly how to behave.
I went to school in Philly and my daughter lives, literally, across the street from Philadelphia. And I can't understand why Philly keeps electing the idiots that it does.
If the mayor of any other city ever bombed an AA neighborhood....
If Philly's citizens are in open revolt -- it's high time!

Mocking flockers!
To: Kid Shelleen
So while some people have clearly received the stay-at-home message loud and clear, others have not.More likely, many who received the message are making their own loud and clear statements that they've had it...and , ala Twisted Sister,
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
