Bossy’s favorite place she ever lived is behind her elbow, and it’s the high rise where she grew up — the one on the right on the 19th floor — in Philadelphia.

September 17, 2010 at 8:21 amMaybe you can move back there once your nest is empty. Look – I just made you cry! Sorry! But really, I think we’re drawn to the places where we were happiest – and sometimes our subconscious fights to get back there. I did it! I moved away as a girl from 2 miles from where I sit, then as an adult moved back, then moved away (4,000 miles away), and am now sitting back here in Tennessee.
I got way too philosophical this morning. I think it’s because I gave up facebook.

September 17, 2010 at 9:59 amHow cool. Though I knew you grew up in Philly, in the actual city (as opposed to the ‘burbs), I did not know you grew up in a high-rise. I just imagined a brick rowhouse on Pine or something. I can’t think of anyone else I know who grew up in a high-rise. I find it … intriguing.

September 17, 2010 at 1:32 pmYou are the only person I know who grew up on the 19th floor of anything. Not that I actually know you, but you get my drift.
Ever gone up to see who lives in your flat now?

September 17, 2010 at 10:04 pmEvery time you write about this place my ears perk up (because I read with my earlobes) — because I have the same longing love for a place I spent 10 yrs and I am intrigued with the concept Chrissy mentions above. Places keep little pieces of our soul I am convinced of this.
