Trends Reviews and Recaps

Below is a just a portion, thankfully, of a conversation I overheard this afternoon in the Washington West (a/k/a “Wash West”) area of Philadelphia, in front of one of the neighborhood’s several hospitals:

Woman No. 1: I been havin’ good luck with it.

Woman No. 2: Yeah?

Woman No. 1: Oh, yeah, real good luck.

Woman No. 2: How so?

Woman No. 1: It’s relievin’ the piles.

Woman No. 2: Uh-huh.

Woman No. 1: And what with the itchin’ and swelling goin’ down, I’m sleepin’ better at night too.
