Alarms!!! (not clocks, though!)

Spruce Street, between approximately 39th to 45th Streets, is a great residential neighbourhood. It's clean, inhabited by nice people (like me!), has quaint buildings, and is supposed to look good in the Fall (coming up!). Basically, the only complaint I have is that it's 20 minutes on foot to Towne Building, which houses the MEAM department, and that means ooh-ah-ouch in the winters. Pretty good, no?

NO.

DEFINITELY NOT!

Right at the end of Spruce Street, is the University of Pennsylvania Health System's main operations, which comprises the Hospital of the University (it has the cute acronym HUP...huppp!! haha!!). And in an infamous city like Philadelphia, which has a number of assorted law-breakers (Nipun says: Texas is very law abiding!), the personnel and their ambulances have their hands full. Spruce Street happens to be one of their favoured roads, and if you are in the middle of a potentially bad dream, then the ambulance may be thrown into it, as it is passing by my window, just to make matters more serious...

Well, no problem. Let's just say I am glad not to be in one of those ambulances.

See you!
