Oh my

Life in the Big City

This is just a few blocks from my house, and I know just the spot they’re talking about. And no, these aren’t innocent little angels we’re talking about.

    I’m not sure which side of Orthodox they’re talking about. It’s pretty desolate on both sides.

    from the link: “a large, vacant area behind Garden Street near Orthodox that extends about a mile back to the Delaware River.”

    It’s gotta be the coke plant, right next to the bridesburg rec center. “Garden Street” abuts right onto the old coke plant grounds. If you use the satellite images from google maps, you can see that on the south side of Orthodox there’s still some industry, but the area that Garden borders is the old coke plant.

    I’d love to go back there sometime just to explore. Don’t wanna run into any teenaged hooligans though.

    I think they’re only there at night.
