Schuylkill River Banks
If you can pronounce "Schuylkill," then you've lived in Philadelphia long enough to know that this "tow-path" is home to many runners, bikers, walkers, roller-bladers and yes, even the occasional weirdo. Nothing beats a refreshing jog along the riverbank, with stunning views of the city, no traffic (unless you count motorized scooters), and horrid smells. Ah yes, "that smell." As regulars of the Schuylkill will tell you, this ghastly smell will come out of nowhere and halt you dead in your tracks. Sometimes it will last for a brief period; sometimes it will linger for miles. What is this smell? Being that you're next to the Schuylkill, it could be anything from sewage to road kill. However, don't let this stop you from enjoying your afternoon jaunt. But if you do figure out what the smell is, please let me know.
