Living at the Top


Sam's humble abode atop Rittenhouse Square. He
not only knew every inch of the City, there were few people who didn't know him and would stop and say hello, throw a big wave from across the Square or risk crossing on red to have a few words with the man. You could not walk but a few feet and there was someone saying hello to Sam or stopping to pass along some gossip.

Sam never sat behind the wheel of a car and his famous line was "I always went with girls who drove" and he used Public Transportation until he could no longer ride the buses of SEPTA. Oh and don't forget his canvas bags. He was legendary for carrying his "office" everywhere he went in those bags. None of that disappeared and will live on in cyberspace and will make an appearance here in the near future.
