Christmas Eve in Philly and @ Grandmoms, 2005

Jing at Love Park, Philadelphia. 

The architecture of the side entrance of the Free Masons Lodge in Center City Philadelphia. 

Liberty 1 and Liberty 2, the two tallest skyscrapers in Philadelphia will soon be eclipsed by a new building, scheduled to break ground in January, 2006..

As you can see, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. I enjoyed this one at Rick's in the Reading Terminal Market. 

I have always liked this sculpture across from City Hall in Center City Philadelphia. The artist intended the clothespin to resemble two lovers embracing about to kiss. 

Some architecture around 10th and Market St. as Jing and I walked toward Chinatown. 

Oh baby! It's too bad all these bottles were gifts! 

My grandmom Hall poses in front of her Christmas Tree.
