Philly is old, like not old as in 50s old. But old as in rise from the grave old. With so many old buildings which have been built, rebuilt, and rebuilt again just for giggles. Some of the building’s pipes are so rusty and dirty that it looks like a techno color rainbow, with new lifeforms growing on them. The walls are so worn down that the mob is worried about all the snitches they cemented is going to be exposed. The floors are so creaky and dangerous that Indiana Jones would have a field day. This is Philly, and we are oooooold. Home Depot? Lowes? They were started in the south(ATL, SC) where everything was being built brand new. So what does that mean for people for people in Philly, it meant we were SOL. A&C hardware to the rescue!
