I'm glad I did this, because some of the places have changed, and now that I no longer live there, they are not as common place as they used to be.<br /><br />Please enjoy.<br /><br />Updated: May 2008, did a few updates on some of the pictures, how things have changed. No longer living in Port Richmond, I may do a new picture blog on where I live now. Just have to get a few pictures together.<br /></span></strong><br /><br /><br /></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1992/4173/400/Welcome%20to%20Port%20Richmond.jpg" border="0" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
