"BOMBED OUT"


I know someone who's not going to be crazy to read the lead graph of this article -- "Hangin' With Sly," by Michael Klein -- in today's Philadelphia Inquirer, about Sylvester Stallone's work this week filming, in Philadelphia, the latest installment of the Rocky series:


It's a clear, chilly, noir midnight on bombed-out Jasper Street in Kensington. An El train chugs against the sky two blocks away. To the right, peeking above a roof, One Liberty Place shines brightly, a million miles away.


"Bombed-out"?


All in the eyes of the beholder, or, in this case, the property owner.
