It is an intangible. ...
If you only valued it directly, THAT is where you make the mistake.
When you see it as a MULTIPLIER of most other skills/abilities/talent---- THEN it is properly understood.

Hey, mikey, where are you in Flyerland? I forget if you mentioned it before.
Ya know, Lt. Dish, I get asked this a lot and I don't know...I don't know where I live...when I first moved here (from North Jersey) I thought I didn't know because I had just moved down here and although I was born in Philadelphia, I didn't really grow up here...
But I've come to realize that I don't know because no one does...even lifelong Philadelphia dwellers.
"What neighborhood are you in?"
- I say my cross streets
"Oh! That's right by...uh...hmm...it's near...hmph..."
And then I get the list: Bella Vista, Queen Village, Southwark, Italian Market, Washington Square, "Center City/South Philly border"
I think I've determined it to be called "Hawthorne" which I'm not sure is terribly well known or even recognized by anyone...
In terms of recognizables that you may or may not know...I'm a few blocks from the Kimmel Center, I'm about 2.5 miles north of the sports complexes, close to where Broad would meet South St. in what I'll call Center City for now...
Sorry for the long answer...

I know exactly where you are... near the old Jamaican Jerk Hut! (I don't even know if that's still around.)
I believe Hawthorne is the correct name, although you're right about the name being unknown. I lived in CC for awhile and I never once heard it called specifically that. There wasn't much there then, though, except blight; I'm talking 15 years ago.
I was just in your 'hood on a few separate occasions recently. One of those occasions was at Tashan. If you like Indian, I highly recommend it. Awesome food and cool bar. http://mytashan.com/ . That whole area around South at Broad has undergone a transformation.
We should have a bat signal or a whistle at a frequency that only Pens fans can hear.

I like grits too. How do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy or al dente?
