The residents who live in the shadow of the Wells Fargo Center are hot, and it has nothing to do with the heat wave.
Call it Convention Fatigue. The traffic, the noise, the vandalism and the protesters are taking a toll.
"I understand if you want to protest [and exercise] First Amendment rights, but don't be disgusting about it," said Sandra Costanzo. "They were in Marconi Park [Broad and Oregon] running around naked. There's children around here. They see that and wonder what kind of America is this."
The problems persist long after the TV cameras click off for the evening and the delegates are back in Center City at the hotel bar, said Mike, who lives on the 1500 block of Packer Avenue, across from Chickie's & Pete's, and declined to give his last name.
“I got traffic coming through here at 4, 5 o’clock in the morning, and I have to listen to this bull—,” he said. “ This is the worst thing to happen to this area. You build a half-billion-dollar convention center [in Center City] and you have this thing here?”
Paul Perrello was walking his puggle, Mattie, when he came to the intersection of Broad Street and Packer Avenue. That’s as far south as traffic can go. Police will detour everything either west on Packer toward Green’s house or east toward Perrello’s.
A little sedan squeezed past a tractor trailer, which sounded its horn and startled the poor pooch.
But it's the constant buzz of helicopters and the illegally parked cars that are getting on Perrello's nerves. Parking spots in his area are supposed to be for residents only.

Coming to your neighborhood soon.
“They were in Marconi Park running around naked.”
Who the heck riots naked?
Drab colored clothes which are loose but not baggy, athletic cups, and steel toed boots. That’s the way to dress, people.
Sounds like the Occupy Wall Street days.
Riot naked? Yeah, right!
“I understand if you want to protest [and exercise] First Amendment rights, but don’t be disgusting about it,”
What the hell did they expect with the freak show in town.
Who owns and walks dogs in the middle of a city? I grew up in a semi-rural area where there were fields for dogs to run in.
This craze of city folks in condos and apartments to own dogs and then walk them on the concrete is constantly amazing to me.
I live on an acre but consider that still too small to own a dog.

So that's where Bill's been when not at the convention and why he had such a big smile last night.
Trigglypuff!! Another hideous liberal troll!
Welcome aboard, honey .. sounds like you're about ready to become a FReeper and/or Trumper !
The last republican mayor of Philadelphia was in 1952.
hint, hint ...
There also were strangers hanging outside his rowhome, he said: "One guy was on my patio, another was on my neighbor's step. I don't know what they were doing there."
America should ask itself a couple of questions: Would you rather have the Republican Convention or the Democrat Convention in your town? And if you don’t want them in your town, why in hell would you want them in charge?
I think you’re mistaken. Frank Rizzo was a republican from a while I think.
At least they weren’t wearing Jog Straps: http://youtu.be/Czssbj5fg2w
Sleaze bucket news media show a picture of a Trump sign when it the buck naked Democrats & Democrat Convention the neighbors are complaining about!
POST OF THE NIGHT
Most of the female protesters I saw seemed to be in compliance with your dress code ;-)
What’s a good remedy for locusts? Could they be gassed, perhaps, by aero planes carrying aerosol pot from CO? Could we then scoop them off the streets and dump truck them safely to disposal? Could we then make nutrient-rich food from them, so that they might yet have a second, better life? Did I see this all in a movie? Am I just talking trash?
These are all good questions., and my answer is yes to all, with a hopeful hope.
I know in my heart of hearts that these are by and large paid protestors. Most won’t even talk to you unless they have to or they’re on the clock. These young ones are loving their summer “job” ...
