UNDER THE BOARDWALK

Yeah, under the reinforced boardwalk, down by the sea, yeahOn a mobility scooter with my obese tatted baby is where I’ll be

Out of the sun(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be havin’ some funnel cake(Under the boardwalk) People waddling above(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be fallin’ in love with fried oreos & fudge(Under the boardwalk) Yeah (riding the tramcar instead of walking)

We finished our vacation week in Wildwood. No more stories about drunken nights at the Shamrock. It is now a construction site, with new $800,000 cookie cutter condos slated to replace a famous institution, which gave me unlimited fodder for at least two dozen articles about the crazy nights spent at our favorite bar over the last fifteen years.

Tom Gerace, 59, owner of Shamrock, stands outside of the Shamrock as it's being torn apart inside to clear way when moving the Victorian house above it on Friday, June 25, 2021. “It’s depressing and we put a lot of work into it,” Gerace said. “Stuff happens and I did what was best for me at some point. If I opened back up I would lose my liquor license.”

We still see Billy Jack, as he regularly plays at The Cove, two blocks from the old Shamrock, but it isn’t the same. There is another construction boom in Wildwood, but I won’t be lured into buying at the top again. I’ll wait for the crash that may never come. But some things never change in good old Wildwood. It’s lucky they replaced a good chunk of the boardwalk, because I don’t think the old boards could support the obese land whales waddling towards the funnel cake stand or racing down the boards on their mobility scooters to buy a fried twinkie washed down by a 128 ounce lemonade (extra sugar) on one of their eight credit cards.

Philly Or Fallujah? Gas Station Owners Hire Militarized Security, City Imposes Curfew

Good to see things have really improved along the 30 Blocks of Squalor and the rest of this Democrat run shithole ghetto city since I left 2 and half years ago. This is what you get with a low IQ beak nosed Democrat mayor, a female diversity hire police chief, and a Soros DA. Let it burn baby!!!!

It’s no secret Philadelphia is a dangerous city.

In 2019, the murder rate was 22.47 per 100,000 residents according to FBI data, with 331 homicides that year. Fast forward three years, and there have been 480 murders year-to-date.

Most affected are black males between the age of 18 and 45.

MEANWHILE…..IN KILLADELPHIA

How fitting that the week I revive some of my 30 Blocks of Squalor articles, we have a mass shooting in Philly. Guess what? After you watch the videos you will know why the MSM will ignore this “mass shooting” and why Slow Joe and Kackling Kamala will not be making appearances and speeches in Philly. Not a white person in sight. Philly has the strictest gun laws. And South Street used to be a cool safe place to have fun. Diversity is our strength.

“It Was Chaos” : 3 Dead, 11 More Injured In Philadelphia Mass Shooting

Chaos erupted on the streets of Philadelphia late Saturday night when gunmen unleashed a barrage of bullets into a crowd, hitting 14 people, including three who died, reported NBC10.

Philadelphia Police say the incident occurred just before midnight when multiple shooters fired into a crowd on South Street between 2nd and 3rd streets. Two men and a woman were killed, and eleven others were injured.

“There were hundreds of individuals just enjoying South Street, as they do every weekend, when this shooting broke out,” Philadelphia Police Department Inspector D.F. Pace said.

Pace said one officer was “within 10 to 15 yards of the shooter, watching this person shoot into the crowd” when he returned fire. Two guns were recovered at the scene, and one had an extended magazine.

Someone’s Nest camera caught the shooting as it unfolded.

30 BLOCKS THROWBACK THURSDAY

In a tragic accident in 2019 I accidentally deleted every 30 Blocks of Squalor article I had ever written on TBP. I think they were some of my best work. Some people didn’t think so and tried to get me fired from my job, but failed. There are a few that got picked up by other websites, so I’m able to reproduce a few. This one was from May 2012. Enjoy.

MORE THAN 30 BLOCKS OF GREY & DECAY

30 Blocks of Squalor – The Burning Platform

It happened again yesterday morning. There was an accident on the Schuykill Expressway so I had the pleasure of navigating through the 30 Blocks of Squalor, again. After having made at least 25 posts about the 30 Blocks of Squalor over the years, I keep thinking I’ve run out of things to say. But it seems to be a never ending treasure trove of insights about our society and the people who live in this country. It was a particularly grey day in Philadelphia with a dreary overcast and intermittent rain. It seemed fitting for this trek through the slowly decaying landscape leading to my workplace in West Philly.

I’ve talked previously about the stretch of highway leading to the 30 Blocks of Squalor. It’s called West Chester Pike (Route 3) and it cuts through Delaware County where I grew up. It cuts through Havertown, Haverford, Drexel Hill, and Upper Darby and eventually spits you out at 69th Street, where I’ve previously detailed the flash mob of savages rampaging through the Sears stealing everything in sight (all caught on surveillance cameras to be shown on a future reality TV show). In a shocking turn of events, Sears decided to later close this retail establishment.

Philadelphia Has Had At Least 140 Carjackings This Year So Far, Double The Year-To-Date Total From 2021

I sure do miss the 30 Blocks of Squalor. Avalon had to travel my route yesterday for a doctor appointment and she texted me the gory details. She wanted to take pictures, but she would have had to put down her pepper spray. She made sure to make every green light until she was safely at Penn.

Philadelphia’s carjacking problem is reaching new heights in 2022, according to reports by Brietbart and the Philadelphia Inquirer.

So far this year, there have been “at least” 140 carjackings in the city – an average of between 4 and 5 per day, every day, so far in 2022.

NOT MISSING THE 30 BLOCKS OF SQUALOR

It’s been two and a half years since I’ve had the displeasure of traveling the 30 Blocks of Squalor. Good to see Kenney and his Soros DA setting new records for murders and general mayhem in this urban shithole of paradise. Burn it down. Let the savages rule. Defund the police. Hire more lesbian diversity losers from Portland to further the destruction of a once great white city. Fuck Philadelphia and the rest of the democrat run kill zones across the country. I vowed to not set foot in that shithole ever again. And I won’t.

Philadelphia Ties Its All Time Homicide Record After Murder In Broad Daylight This Week

U.S. cities continued their slow transformation into complete hellscapes at the hands of liberal politicians this week when Philadelphia officially tied its all time record for annual homicides – after a woman was shot this week in broad daylight.

The murder occurred at 7th and Jackson streets in South Philadelphia at 4:30pm on Wednesday. With more than a month to go in the year, Philadelphia’s homicide total is now even with the record it set in 1990 amidst a massive crack cocaine epidemic in the city, Philly Voice reported.

MEANWHILE….IN PHILLY

WE’RE #1

Philly Number One Foam Finger Graphic T-Shirt | Amazon.com

I knew we could do it. We just needed to set our minds to the task of becoming number 1. It just goes to prove, if you elect a Soros DA who refuses to prosecute violent criminals, a mayor with no balls, defund the police, and run the worst public school system in the nation, you can rise to the top as the most murderous city in America. That is no easy task when you are competing with Baltimore, Chicago, and DC. But we did it!!!

I’m just sorry (not sorry) to not witness it on a day to day basis anymore, as I haven’t entered that kill zone in over two years. I was thrilled to see zip code 19139 as one of the highest murder zones, as it encompasses the entire 30 Blocks of Squalor, where my peeps reside and so many stories were written. I’m tearing up thinking about all the effort put into getting that murder rate to an all-time high.

And Democrats will be overwhelmingly re-elected in the next election. Maybe raising taxes and giving the union teachers 10% raises will do the trick. Don’t forget to duck if you are ever lucky enough to drive the 30 Blocks of Squalor.

Philadelphia’s Murder Rate Highest Among Largest US Cities

Last spring, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced a series of police reforms within the 6,500-member police department. A year later, his administration has succeeded in implementing several of those changes, while others are a work in progress. But over the last year, did those meaningful police reforms result in better public safety?
