On the train – on my way to Center City Philadelphia.
This is really the ONLY way to go into the city
ESPECIALLY during rush hour.
|
|
|
|
The office I was going to is located in Chinatown.
Here is a Chinatown parking dragon.

I was in town to take a Civil Service exam for the
PA Liquor Store.
Last year they offered me a part-time job which
I did not take as I thought I could make more
contacts & find a full time job where I was.
Well that didn’t happen & if I had taken the
Liquor store job I’d be working full time by now,
with benefits. Hindsight……
|
|
|
|
The exam waiting area is uneventful and I can
say that everyone that works there is nice!
|
|
|
|
after the exam I walked thought the heart of Chinatown.
Here is the Chinatown Arch.
Does every city have a Chinatown?
And do they all have the Arch?
|
|
|
|
I had to pass by the Bus Station.
Why do they always seem seedy??
|
|
|
|
I always like to visit Reading Terminal.
It’s like a glorified Farmer’s Market.
|
|
|
|
I was VERY disappointed to see my favorite place Closed 😦
Goodbye Basic Four Vegetarian.
Good news though — I did some homework & found they
are going to be offering cooking classes. Maybe I can
get the secret recipe for their Soy Chicken Salad
that tasted like real Chicken Salad. mmmmm.

|
|
I walked past City Hall & apparently there was a
high profile trial going on – news trucks were waiting
to get some photos.
|
|
|
|
That’s William Penn – on top of City Hall

Track Five – A plug in station –
juice up your phones!!!

|
|
after Center City I had to go to PA Career Link
to call Unemployment. You have to come here to
call because when you try calling from home
it’s busy for the first hour then you are on hold
another couple hours. If you call from here you
get right through.
|
|
|
|
There is always a line but you still only have to wait
about 20 minutes which is way better than hours.
I found out my unemployment benefits are up so now
it’s time to use savings until I can find a REAL JOB!
I’ve been looking!!!!!

PORTAL – this is one of my favorite wines these days.
When I was asked in my interview the other day what
wine would I serve to friends this was the WINNER!
Who need some??
|
|
|
|
SUCCESS!!! Finally found a dog food Weasel will eat.
This is exciting!!! She’s so finicky I’d swear she
was part CAT!!
