Philadelphia News Views Jet Plane Crashes 

Who would Believe a Jet Plane would Crash into a  Residential Shopping Center and Residential living area, leaving many families homeless and helpless? My deepest Sympathy to all who were affected by this tragedy. We here in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have the best Governors, Josh Shapiro and Mayor Parker; we are Philly Strong; they kept us informed and were there on the scene helping and cleaning everything up. The FBI was also present. The truth was spoken and respected.

Many people are sick with the flu and other illness. I, for one, have been out of commission for a month and even lost my voice for several weeks. I am just getting my strength back. Every time I think I am over it, it comes back. So, I am taking it easy and resting. At one point, I decided not to cook and order from our local diner, and wow, their meals were outstanding. Those who know me I am energetic, but I was drained of all my energy. I was supposed to meet with a past client, but when we spoke, he told me to wait until I felt better. When I called him, he was sick. Everyone in the house had the same thing I had so that we will get together in a few weeks.

Local place to eat 

Liberty Bell Diner -  Chicken Parm  - mac and cheese veg of choice (or pasta ) soup or salad - I chose - Greek salad, which was a meal in itself; you also received two cheese rolls, and dessert I decided ice cream peanut butter   $17; the portions were so large I had enough for two nights  - I did pick it up, but they would deliver, but I wanted to get out see how I would feel if left the house, and this was the early bird special. It is $25 after the early bird. The food was delicious, and I did not have to cook or clean up. 

When I got home, I was exhausted, so I knew cooking was not a good idea, but I did need to get out of the house -it was also nice not having to clean up. My next order was a meatball parmesan sandwich, french fries, soup, and bread pudding. Considering I could barely taste anything, I was thrilled it was so good; I could only eat a quarter of the sandwich and saved the rest for later. I wish I had it now  - $13.99 

The people at Liberty Bell Diner are great. If you eat in and have their card, you get a discount if you pay cash. Plus, the owner better not hear you did not get good service. He will run over to your table and ask what happened. It is a family-run business; I have never had a bad meal there. Their Benedict eggs for breakfast are excellent, but with the bird flight, who knows what will happen with egg orders?   

That's all for now, but I will be doing my Philadelphia  Steals and Deals, especially about ReClectic, which has opened in North Carolina. I want my friends to know that I saw on Instagram that people were waiting in lines for hours, so wait a few weeks before you go. I waited two months after it opened before I went. It is an incredible shopping experience. 

Macy's, the original Wanamakers store, is closing in Center City, Philadelphia. John Wanamaker originated the first department store. He was quite an amazing man, and there are books about him. He also redesigned our postal system. Parts of the store are federally historically protected. Thanks to Vblogger, who filmed some of the rare events, you can see why in my next blog.    Thank you to my Active Friends who checked up on me, especially after the Crash.

Hi Hannah... well, at least you got some of your appetite back... that's progress, if you ask me. Now you'll have me hungry the rest of the day! Sadly, we have no diner like yours from which to order great food. That plane crash was beyond imagining... so many people's lives have changed forever and I suspect for many PTSD will be with them for a long time. Sorry to hear about Wannamaker's closing. I hate it when legacy stores like this that we all grew up with disappear.

Nina Hollander, Broker  So many people met family and friends at the Eagle in the Wanamaker lobby, a genuinely miraculous site. I enjoy cooking, and I just decided. This was just a few days, but I did not want to clean up. That surprises me. There no good diners> They are also open 24 hours

Hannah Williams hi Hannah... if I miss anything in Charlotte it's a really good diner or deli like I was used to in NY City.

Hello Miss Hannah Williams - good to know you are safe from the unthinkable airplane crash.  I do not know what it is that is getting everyone sick. Our local plumbing contractor was sick for a week - lost his voice.  Half the staff at the law firm we work were out sick for a week. Whatever it is - it is a doozy. 

Take good care of yourself. Keep resting and do not overdo it. The body needs rest and nutrition. The diner works well for you so you do not need to cook or clean up. 💙💛

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  The crash was a ten-minute ride from where I live if the plane flew east instead of west. Hopefully, I am at the end of this. It knocked me on my, you know what. With the Super Bowl, ice storms, and Snowstorms on the way, I am prepared to continue resting. It is a sheet of ice outside right now

Hannah Williams - good for you.  If I tried dancing in the house, I might end up with some broken bones (or at least a bruised glitch of some sort).  Have a super day.

Hannah, all these plane crashes make me nervous to fly now, and yours was so sad.   Glad you are feeling better, and have your voice back.  Thanks for the call, was good to catch up again.

Joan Cox My friend Diane, who passed away, was horrible to fly with. She would tremble when entering the plane and had to have a few scotches first. She would ask me constantly if the plane was going to crash. She would vibrate so severely that the aircraft could take off without starting. 

Go Eagles!

Gosh, when I first started flying I was REALLY nervous too, am afraid of heights, so NEVER sat next to the window.   Now, not so much.  So sorry to hear about your friend.

Joan Cox It is almost two years now that she has passed, and I still go to call her on the phone. I miss her terribly, but her daughter does my hair now, and she is fabulous, and I have so much fun at her saloon

John Pusa I slept through the whole incident. I woke up around 3 AM, turned on the news, and was horrified. I also had several messages from my family in Florida. I am feeling so much better now - Thank you 

Have a wonderful Sunday

Good morning Hannah,

I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better! Its not fun to be sick. I had a really bad cold and was down for a couple of weeks and the only think I wanted to get was soup! Glad you didn't cook and ordered out. Thank you for sharing the video, the jet crashing was horrific and so many people's lives have changed forever! Glad you were far enough away from it. Sorry to hear about Wannamaker's closing, it's always sad to see these iconic stores closing!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX  You understand you feel like you will never feel good again, and suddenly, you wake up and start to feel yourself again. The crash was terrible and horrifying for the people involved. I cannot imagine how their lives have forever changed. 

Wanamakers have so many memories for so many people. It was the very first department store and was gorgeous inside. Especially the Eagle (football team named after it) and the organ that played that was several feet high 

Happy Sunday Dorie

I am glad I took the time to read all the comments and I'm glad you are feeling better. It's been a long time since I've had the flu and I hope it stays that way. As far as flying the only thing that bothers me is the TSA.

Bob "RealMan" Timm  The only time I fly is to see my family in Florida, which is rare. I used to go to tropical beaches with an old boyfriend who loved to travel . I would also go to Real Estate conventions, but they are not as much fun as they used to be.

Hi Hannah:

So sorry to hear you have been feeling badly and for some time. That plane crash was horrible, and one of a series of awful air disasters (e.g., DC, Alaska, Scottsdale AZ).

Hope you continue to recover well. The flu is rampant out here in CA from what I have seen online and there have been plenty of reports about RSV being prevalent, too.

Jeff

Jeff Dowler, CRS Thank you for your kind words. I am much better, but I am taking it easy with this horridly bitter weather. We have had ice storms and last night's snow; more is expected later in the week. A past client is waiting for me to put a house on the market and insists I wait. He says everyone in his home has the same thing. It seems to hang on. You think you are over it, and back it comes.
