The Mysterious 'Boner Forever' Building

If you are new to Philadelphia, as I am, you may have passed a building with the words 'boner forever' clearly graffitied on the outside of the building and wondered what it was. On the opposite side the building reads 'forever boner'. After some quick research I've learned that this building is known as the Beury Building. It was a high rise bank built in 1926. According to photos posted on www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com the inside of the building is completely falling apart. The building is located on the Broad/Germantown/Erie intersection so next time you're driving up or down Broad street, or walking (but not by yourself....ever) take a look at the Beury Building. Trust me, you won't miss its unique tattooing of this funny yet somewhat sexually explicit 'boner forever' message.



Ps. I apologize for the photo, I took it while driving to class but if you look closely you can see the words 'boner forever'.

Occupy Philadelphia

I've experienced Occupy Philly about three times this past week.  There wasn't much action while I was there besides that on friday a few protesters were smashing beer bottles although I'm not sure if it was to make a statement for the cause...or if it was the beer talking.  Anyway, if you're in Philadelphia you should definitely stop by even if it's just to tell your future children the story of how you took part in the Occupy Movement.  While you're there be sure to check out all the artwork and signs.
