Broad and Christian Streets, South Philadelphia, 10:15 pm.
There’s so much I wanna say about this, but I’m not sure I’m capable of anything approaching coherence right now. And besides, nothing I would say would do justice to the feeling of standing around with hundreds of Philadelphians high-fiving each other and yelling at the top of their lungs. The whole town is finna be hoarse tomorrow.
High-fiving at a glorious red light.
“PHILLIES!!!!” a bunch of people would yell.
“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” hundreds of people would yell back. It’s like a holiday spontaneously broke out.
A bunch of Obama volunteers standing in the median.
“OBAMA!!!” someone would yell.
“WOOOOOOOOOO!” the throngs would respond, if they didn’t break out into a chant.
Yes we can.
Horns honked. Fireworks went off. Strangers danced with each other in the clogged intersections. It’s currently 1:30 in the morning, and people are out in full force.

So, so dope.
I was wondering what that ‘OMG!!!’ text was all about. I didn’t hear about the win til this a.m. Congrats!
People from Philly can go hoarse?
congrats
=)
Go Phillies! Go Obama supporters for being brave enough to go out there with their Obama/Biden signs. I wasn’t going outside for anything – drunk Philadelphians are not my steeze.
glory: trust, there is no courage necessary to be an Obama supporter in this deeply blue city. i just got back from Walnut Street, and there were Obama signs in every store (and volunteers on every other corner).
i love this town.
Yeah, but ah… a lot of those folks were on their way home to the northeast… and they’re not quite like the folks like myself who live, work, and play near center city. Though, I know Obama folks are all around me. I’m poll watching all day on Election Day.
I love this town. Northeast residents notwithstanding.
