Out in the City



Yup left the house in search of Comics and spending gift cards. I found comics in the form of Brave New Worlds. A sweet comic shop in Center City. Though it didn't have as many back issues of Deadpool as I hoped, but I got some. And book called, Bookhunter, a graphic novel about a book detective. Look forward to reading it.

Afterwards I went searching for this fabled George's Music store Google told me existed in Center City (also ran into my old college friend Chris). Alas I didn't find it.

In reference to the Google at Siggraph thing. They always have a booth at Siggraph. In case you were wondering.

Sorry to hear about your troubles finding the store.
There is in fact NO George's Music store in Philadelphia proper, despite what Google says.
We've contacted them about this before but have not been successful in getting the listing removed.
We have 5 Philadelphia-area locations in Berwyn, Springfield, Feasterville, Spring City, and North Wales.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but at least you ran into a friend!
