Ah, the 1800′s. A simpler time of fear, paranoia, and exaggeration.

Philadelphians, your RIGHTS are being invaded! Regardless of your interests or the lives of your little ones, the Camden and Amboy… are laying a LOCOMOTIVE RAIL ROAD… to the ruin of your trade, annihalation of your rights. Will you permit this or do you consent to be a suburb of New York.

You may commence ROFLing in 3… 2… 1… wait a minute.

Broad Street connecting to the Trenton Railroad? Is that the SEPTA?!

Wow. Maybe I shouldn’t judge these folks too harshly. Dreadful causality, indeed.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.
