The very one: The MOVE bombing in 1985. Despite the incredible vice grip in which John Africa and his followers held Philadelphia, and especially the neighbors/homeowners (in what was a well-established close-knit neighborhood prior to the MOVE-in), it still tops the list of all-time incredibly witless cluster-fucks.[/quote]
No kidding – I moved to Philly from Huntington Beach as a kid just before that went down. It left a great first impression on my family. Lets hope the current staff uses different tactics to rid the city.
