Archbishop Prendergast and (in the distance) Monsignor Bonner High Schools. The two schools will merge and not be closed as was previously announced.

Upper Darby High School. Some notable alumni: Lloyd Alexander, Jim Croce, Heather Donahue, Tina Fey, Jack Ramsey, Todd Rundgren (not technically an alumnus since he did not graduate), and Marty Stern.

Drexel Hill Middle School (formerly Drexel Hill Junior High School) althletic fields. Some good memories and a couple life lessons were made and learned here. If you overlook the rusty and crooked fences, the fields still look pretty good. The school itself, on the other hand, looks bad. It’s depressing for one who remembers it when it was brand new.

Drexelbrook Catering (formerly Drexelbrook Swimming and Tennis Club). What happened to that giant pool? Did I do all those watermelons and can openers for nothing? 

Dick Clark, Ed McMahon, and Lee Iacocca all at some point lived in the Drexelbrook Apartments. This complex of townhouses was built on the former site of the Aronimink Golf Club.

Is the roof of the Chestnut Street Parking Garage being used to search for extraterrestrial life?

The three bright stars arcing across the top half of the photo from left to right are Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), Er Rai (Gamma Cephei), and Caph (Beta Cassiopeiae).

Same farm (zoomed in on and photoshopped).

This barn bears a striking resemblance to Senator Mitch McConnell and appears just as determined to defeat President Obama.

This roof looks like it would leak, and it does (a  Frank Lloyd Wright signature).
