Dear Philly,

You sure are weird.

Yep, you have to watch out for pee in the train station. Because that pee ain't dog pee. And sometimes you come up the steps at Suburban station at 8:20 a.m. and witness some guy yelling - no screaming - every dirty swear word your ears have ever heard.

But today I had a short conversation with a transvestite. She asked me for money for a train token because her boyfriend left her stranded. When I replied that I didn't have any money and I was sorry, she responded, "That's ok. It's not your fault he's an asshole." That made me smile.

Philly, you sure are weird. But please don't change.

xo,
Julia
