El Chapo? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 214)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Several years ago, while walking around Philadelphia, I was startled by a man popping out of a hole in the street.  It was during the time that Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" was on the run after escaping from prison via a vast tunnel network. The scene seemed unusual and funny as I took his picture and said, "I found El Chapo!" I don't think the man saw the humor but it made me laugh.😀

If you don't remember or haven't heard about it, here's a news article about "El Chapo." Click

What were they saying to each other? 

Maybe, "Hey bro where did you get those giant cherries?" or "This isn't watermelon street"

They were speaking Chinese so I'll never know.

A point of clarity; the man was carrying two watermelons in a cherry box on Cherry Street.😆

An accident waiting to happen? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 212)

Several years ago I quickly snapped this shot as I walked by. The man was struggling with the steps so I walked back to see if he needed help. Surprisingly after the slow start he finished with much more confidence and agility.
