Haha, ok I lived in Philadelphia my whole life (well until 2 1/2 yrs ago). My mom just sent me a picture of the welfare line from the 80's. The office was around the corner from our house, I was around 8 so I had no idea why people were walking down the street with a block of cheese. In the picture the line goes for another block each way.
I remember seeing these types of lines as a kid! My mom always told me to not be rude, because I was staring...I don't think she realized I wasn't staring at them for being in line for cheese. I thought there was a parade coming or something, lol.
HAHAHA ME TOO!!! I remember running super fast down the street because I thought I was missing out on something, I was so disapointed.

Egad, this is what the registry looked like last month when I went to renew my license.
Apparently you go a huge block of cheese along with money. The people in line are waiting to get into the office to get the money.

i dont get the cheese thing. but welfare? what do you have to wait for? any i think i know where that payless is.
the registry in the town i live in now is CRICKETS! thats how dead it is. It is WONDERFUL. So when I move to my new house i plan on driving the half hour just to avoid the CRAP at the registry in that crappy city!

welfare gives people money too? and what the helll do they get CHEESE for. I thought the welfare thing was like a card that re-uped itself.. i didnt know you had to go WAIT for MONEY. I didnt even know they gave out $. i thought you got a card, it had FOODSTAMPS on it, insurance for you and your kids, and whatever subsidized housing you may get or something... wow. i should get in on this welfare thing... damn i need mee some free cheese! wait.. id ont eat cheese but STILL

Oh and Jessy that was at Bridge and Pratt (the streets in Philly).
thats like where that stupid turn is that you can either go thru no problem or have to sit there FOREVER for aparently no reason? like its not rush hour or any thing in particular and its crazy? is that where that is?
