The Rendell Renaissance

The media continues to discuss the "enduring Rendell Renaissance" in Philadelphia.

The census estimate for the population in Philadelphia in 2005 was 1,463,281.

Back in 1990, when the famous Renaissance began, the population was 1,585,577.

That's some Renaissance - losing over 100,000 people.

In fact, the Renaissance has been so amazing that the population of Philadelphia hasn't been so low since the first decade of the 20th century!!

I just saw this with even more proof of the Rendell Renaissance. 333 so far this year, and we still have two months to go. At this rate it may be around 400 for the year. Renaissance I tell ya. Renaissance!

Remember the old story about the contest: 1st prize was a week in Philadelphia. Second prize was two weeks.

OR, as W.C. Fields declared, as his character was about to be hung from the gallows: "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia!"

I think they had that on their Chamber of Commerce mailings for decades . . .
