    Eta: ok you are right. It is Ft Mifflin/Hog Island Rd. I had to look it up. We just called it airport rd back in the day.
    That road has changed a little with the expansion of a runway. I spent many days of my youth back there. Fun times.

    Both Tinicum and PPD patrol that area. A good portion of PHL is actually in Tinicum, DELCO. The airport cops get sworn in out there also.

    Last time I was back there, I did see some guys on ATV*s riding around. But that is not what this topic is about. Flying up and down Broad Street is their goal.

    Oh I know. I got stuck at a red light at 8th and Arch with 15-20 of them a couple years ago. Or should I say I got stuck at a red light, they proceeded to turn the wrong way down Arch through the red light. Some of them looked to be about 12-14 yrs old.

    They swarmed onto the Museum*s front apron and proceeded to drive up the 72 steps to the upper plaza, then back down, dispersing at the bottom and fanning out onto the sidewalks and the Parkway, some of them driving against traffic, some doing wheelies.

    As if on cue, a pair of motorcycles appeared and roared around Eakins Oval, the first of several dozen that would run this track that night. They are almost always present, especially in good weather, using the Oval and the Parkway and Kelly Drive as their own personal raceway for hours each night.

    I wonder how it would pan out for those hooligans if they tried that in Beijing.

    Libertarian free thinkers are an interesting lot.

    Libertarian: I should be allowed to do whatever I want until it negatively effects another person.
    Another Person: Your actions are negatively affecting me.
    Libertarian: You're just a fudd that hates freeeeeeeeedom.

    I have yet to see one of these free thinkers actually step up and take responsibility for their actions. No different than those free thinkers that burn down another's house because they think it's appropriate to set of fireworks in densely populated areas. Their answer, "that's what insurance is for", nevermind that anyone would choose to actually not have their house burned down to begin with.

    Same is said about these assholes riding around. If they damage your car, that's what insurance is for. They certainly don't care about anyone that has to pay a deductible first. Their response is that you should have better insurance, but they never want to take responsibility for the lawless actions.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.
