As a follow-up to an earlier post detailing the weirdness of Wild, Wild West Philly, I dug up some old digital camera pictures of Sam's Place, the grungy corner store-slash-deli I used to call "anarchy coffeeshop."

huh ... does she have a black eye? W-E-I-R-D.

I wondered if her black eye would still be noticed by readers after I resized the image. Sam's Place was definitely a nexus of weirdness, but it was nice to be able to walk two blocks and grab a quart of soy milk and a bag of organic blue corn chips. Their coffee was awesome, as well. I would go there each weekend morning to grab a coffee and bagel, which I enjoyed out on their deck.
