Get rich
The latest Travel image comes from the far-off exotic land of 13th & Bainbridge Sts. in Philadelphia. What better place than the gentrified edge of a depressed African-American neighborhood to stick a liquor billboard on the side of an abandoned topless go-go bar-turned-crack house? And what better message to impart than the mythos of the American Dream; that all one needs to do to "GET RICH" is to will it so. And, perhaps, to glug some overpriced mass-bottled cognac. The billboard is on the south side of the building, where whitey is less likely to see it. As always with these postcards from the edge, clicking on the image only makes it bigger.
