Outing 2009 - now taking applications

You were spending most of your time dodging cars, you jaywalker, you.

 

I have a vested interest in Pittsburgh because it's one I could theoretically make.

 

Hot-lanta...

 

Yeah, but that would mean you'd have to go through Camden, N.J., which isn't exactly the nicest city in the world. I've been there for concerts, and the Tweeter Center is a great venue; I recommend it. But Camden's one of those towns where the doors are always locked in my car.

 

It's a wonder none of us got hurt.

 

You don't have to go "through" Camden to get from Philly to the Camden ballpark.
And you don't have to go into Camden to get to Trenton or AC.

But you're 100% correct about the locked car doors.

 

I will say one thing for Ragu ... he and I were the only ones who knew how to cross the street

 

My fault. I was speaking through assumptions, which isn't usually the best bet.

I went to two concerts in Jersey in a three-day stretch. The first was in Camden and the second in Elizabethtown. Maybe it was the time of the day(s), but those two towns looked completely different. We walked a mile into the venue at Elizabethtown. And we were happy to pay for parking at Camden.

 

Elizabeth is not beautiful but not bad.
Camden is the hell hole of the nation.

 

I lock my car doors no matter how bucolic the place is supposed to be.

I believe the saying goes something like: "Trust in God, but lock your doors."

 

Camden's pretty high in the crime rating, isn't it? The last I heard, it was rivaling Baltimore.

 

Boston would be nice in the summer, especially if someone wanted to take an extra day or two to stay on the Cape.
