neighborhood has heroes that take care and work tirelessly to improve it, but then they leave it. They leave it there for us to explore and purpose how we see fit. We all own it and are responsible for how great it is – so keep up the good work, Manayunk, and be kind to the rest of those that share it. Unlike those geese… blocking the whole path and getting testy when you try to pass by… don’t be like that. Honorable Mention: Pretzel Park
