There was a lot going on in Chicago during the first weekend of November, but my old haunts in Philadelphia—where I lived for seven years—were shouting out to me through the magic of the Internet. I do happen to be familiar with the stretch of State Road where Four Seasons Total Landscaping is located, and I could barely believe that I didn’t hear a single commentator point out that the spot where Giuliani threw his hands in the air (like he just didn’t care) is a literal three-minute drive from the Riverside Correctional Facility. But as entertaining as Rudy’s farce was, my attention was drawn to something much more fun happening elsewhere in the city.
