Saying Goodbye to the Spectrum

First the Vet, now the Spectrum.  It seems like my childhood memories are vanishing all around me.  I am not complaining about the new sport complexes but the Vet is where I saw my first Eagles and Phillies Game. Not to mention my family yearly convention there.  The Spectrum is where I got my first live glimpse of Dr J. (besides bumping into him at Phila. Intl Airport) and watching the Harlem Globetrotters with amazement.

With both places gone now, Pattison Avenue just won’t be the same.
