December 27 - Departures
Day of departure,
but circuitously,
via the only tour about the county to old haunts during this trip,
first northeast / east on
1 and Baltimore,
south on
320 to the
little island of
Springfield that includes Antonia's,
rendezvousing
with
the
Hazeltines for a
leisurely brunch.
From there, via the Daily Times,
a trip to Rutledge,
Chambers Memorial
Presbyterian Church,
Jenny's three
residences
(the latter two being George's boyhood
and
birth homes),
followed by
northwest on
Swarthmore,
southwest /
south
on
Muhlenberg,
west on Amherst,
up the hill to
325
North Lehigh Circle
now compromised by an
upper level.
A
tour
around
the
environs
down
to
the
South
Circle,
reversing
track
back
out
to
Laurel
and a
hardy
Avondale
for
distinctly
other views.
Northwest again,
west on
Dartmouth
to
Park,
then
north
around
Swarthmore
Station
to
the
Inn, and
on to
the Campus,
via Field House, and
a brief detour south to Crum Ledge.
Over the
railroad,
contouring around on Parish past Dana, Hallowell,
Wharton, to
Clothier,
around the loop past Performance Arts and
Scott Arboretum.
Reversing course,
in view of the Amphitheater
and
Crum Woods,
back to
town under the tracks,
north on Chester
to
College west,
checking out the upper campus of
McCabe
and
Parrish Lawn,
then diverting around on Elm and
Whittier to the Science Center
and
Lang
Music
Building --
wow!
Enough
time
has
passed
that
it's
time to think of another meal,
so off to
Anna's
Steaks
Hoagies
for a take-out bit of
each.
Back via Swarthmore,
320,
and
1
to
Bette and George's for a video interview,
then
inevitably
to
Philadelphia International Airport again --
Cliff and I sailing off into the night. 35th day of summer, back where we're going, high up 4 to 64 -- 54 locally...
