Skulz in Philadelphia, PA.
When I go to Philadelphia you will most likely find me in the area pictured in the above map. I am often in China Town eating or just walking around South Street. There are other areas of the city I go, but I admit that these are the areas I frequent the most. The star on the map is where you will find Sin Thursday, the Trocadero is near 10th and Arch in China Town.
In and around South street shops like Digital Ferret, Armed and Dangerous, Zipperhead, and others worth a look are to be found. Its not the same south street when Skinz was located down near 3rd street, but is better than not. Mako's bar has something for us over 21, and the TLA is still there. Yea, I remember the south Street of old, I have seen it change over the years and have watched shops come & go.
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and lived in the area on and off from 1974 till 1993. SEPTA's R5 and R2 are the trains I ride the most getting around. I also know the R55 bus from one end to the other. I still call Philadelphia home and visit often since I left in 1993. The Goth / Industrial scene has changed over the years, but Philly still offers something most nights of the week.
