Devorah Zealot Soodak, nee Deborah Ellen Soodak, aka Debbie Soodak, has found a place to live in Philadelphia. Hallelujah! It's been a long journey.
I am signing the lease on Friday for a room in a licensed rooming house in what I think is North Philly. It is two floors, with two men upstairs in one apartment and one woman downstairs with whom I will share mine. Each has a bathroom and a kitchen. It is a very short bus or train ride from Center City.
It is a start. My dream is my own apartment again, of course, but this is a really good way to start. The upside is that I won't have to deal with all of the hassles of maintaining my own apartment. The downside is that except for the room, it really isn't mine.
But it's a place I can call home. A little piece that I rent that I can call my own for as long as I abide by the terms of the lease. A place where I can relax and be at peace. A place where I can heal myself and ready myself to move on to the next phase of my life, whatever that turns out to be.
It's funny. I am so used to having doors slammed in my face that I almost sabotaged myself. I was so prepared for the worst that I almost caused it to come to pass. I really have to guard against that. It's part of the trauma. There really are some good people in this world and I really have to let myself believe it.
You know I ran some Google searches. Of course I did. I need to know what home in Philadelphia means to people other than myself. So please, let me share the results with you and don't forget to click the pics and please don't forget to finish reading the post! There's lots more good stuff to come...

We have the Opera House, McDonalds, and the Navy "Asylum" holding down the top berths. The MOVE story is pretty upsetting. It's not the only ugly chapter of such things in Philadelphia's history. The pattern is extremely disturbing.
That's it for Wiki. Now to the "regular" search. As expected, it's mostly real estate stuff. It's a little surprising what comes in as number one.

Don't the houses always look so beautiful in the pictures? Some of the interiors make me choke though. At least when you buy a house, they usually come empty.

Sorry this post is a little rambling. I'm having trouble concentrating because of the Latex paint and the construction dust. It's making me really sick and it's making my head spin. It's really hard to concentrate.
Philadelphia is a real city, with all of the advantages and disadvantages that brings. The number one hit on the page is about homelessness. Something with which I am all to familiar. It is a terrible problem and not just in Philadelphia where I have seen people sleeping on the streets in the freezing cold weather.
Unfortunately, that doesn't make Philadelphia unique. It has social problems like any other large city. It also has tremendous history, some of which contributes to the ongoing social problems. It's a really interesting mix.
Philadelphia is a beautiful old city, full of historic buildings and other history. There are museums and theaters and lots of art supply stores. It reminds me enough of New York so that it's making me really homesick. I think that's actually a good sign. It means that it's a place where I'll be able to feel at home.

[edit]Summary
1920 map of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, from [1]. "Plan Showing Location of Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad (as Constructed by the State of Pennsylvania) from Columbia Bridge over Schuykill River to its Junction with Present Main Line of Pennsylvania Railroad at Anderson's Lane, Later Athensville, Now Ardmore. Traced for John C. Trautwine, Jr. from T.H. Mueller's reproduction of John Levering's Map of Lower Merion Township, 1851 with data from other sources by Charles R. Barker, June 1920. (reproduction height 27 1/2" x width 36 1/2" photostat)"
Along with the map was this;
Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad From foot of inclined plane to Ardmore Relics Found Supplement to C.R. Barker's tracing of June 1920 Web site note: Descriptions of these locations as they existed in 1920 may no longer be accurate
- A South slope (still traceable) of embankment on curve leading from Columbia Bridge, east of Junction Railway, toward the Inclined Plane
- B On east side of Junction Railway, looking west toward that Railway - End of square stringer or tie, with long round iron ball, bent to a semicircle - Square stone block - These two perhaps in place
- C Stone tie and three pairs of square stone blocks, at south corner of row of dwellings.
- CE Line of inclined plane, well marked by excavation and embankment, filled with undergrowth, but without notable relics. Park trolley line occupies stretch D-E.
- F Remains of double track on curve, just south of Park trolley track, south of Junction station. East track on stone stringers; west track on square stone blocks. Detached pair of square stone blocks in place near by, indicating curve to the right. Stringers in vicinity, out of place. Long grass cut, and earth covering removed by order of Mr. Alan Carson, Chief Engineer to Park Commission.
- G South side of Midvale Ave., opposite Methodist Home for the Aged. Double track as in F, but on tangent.
- HJ From H to J, the Columbia R.R. line followed the present line of Conshohocken State Road, now Conshohocken Ave. The stone blocks were thrown to the south side of the new highway, where they still remain, in a line marked by trees and shrubbery.
- JK From J to K, the Columbia R.R. line kept to the west of Conshohocken Ave., in part of this distance being directly over the present tracks of the Schuylkill Division of the Pennsylvania R.R.
- K East and west slopes of side-hill cuts, on east side of excavation of Schuylkill Division, Pennsylvania R.R. and south of highway bridge carrying Montgomery Ave. over said division. Blue print, furnished by Pennsylvania R.R. Company engineer office, shows center line of Columbia R.R. crossing center line of Schuylkill Division, Pennsylvania R.R. in axis of said highway bridge and near the middle of its length.
- KL From K, the Columbia R.R. line seems to have followed the present line of Bala Ave. to about where it now crosses Bryn Mawr Ave. Thence it followed a tangent to a point in the rear of the present house of the Union Fire Association. Thence it curved to the right, passing under the old Ford Road, which crossed over the R.R. on "Bowman's Bridge." This curve brought the R.R. line to a tangent at a point, L, where the line of the south side of Montgomery Ave. (then called Old Lancaster Road) produced, reaches what is still called Old Lancaster Road.
- At the N.E. corner of Ford Road and Parson's Ave., Mr. J.S. Parsons has built a corner post containing several of the old square stone R.R. blocks.
- The changes in roads at Merionville seem to have been roughly as follows - Before the R.R. abc, Old Lancaster Road. adef, Ford Road. But between d and e, Ford Road was "kinked" to dbe in order to make it cross the R.R. nearly at right angles and de was abandoned, the line of Ford Road, after the building of the R.R., thus becoming adbef. The portion of db of Ford Road now coincides with the line of Levering Mill Road, gdb. When Montgomery Avenue was created, it took abc from the Old Lancaster Road, but later bf was called Mongomery Avenue, and bc again became Old Lancaster Road. cd is now called Ford Road, bc, Old Lancaster Road, abef, Montgomery Ave. and gdb Levering Mill Road.
- LO From L to O, the Columbia R.R. line followed the south side of Old Lancaster Road, now Montgomery Avenue. At M, just east of Thourun's Lane (which crosses a small run on a bridge of three (?) arches) is the south face of an arched stone culvert. At N is the "Federal Spring." Many of the old stone R.R. blocks are here built into the retaining wall on the south side of Montgomery Ave. Beyond O, the R.R. line curved gently to the left.
- P At P the R.R. line passed over the site of a frame stable building. At the SW corver of this stable, the top course of a box culvert is seen.
- PQ From P to Q, the line (easily traceable by pairs of tall trees and by underbrush on the old low embankment) follows the south property line of John Albrecht's triangular lot.
- QR Between Q and R the line has been entirely obliterated by the building operations which produced the newer part of Narberth. In general, the R.R. line crossed the lines of the present streets at angles of about 45 degrees, to its crossing with the present Essex Ave., just north of the Narberth Public School. Beyond this it probably followed nearly the curve of Essex Ave. Stone blocks (out of place) are seen at the corners of Hamden and Woodbine Aves., Woodbine and Narberth Aves., and Narberth and Price Aves.
- RS Between R and S, remains of a low R.R. embankment are seen, with remains of a box culvert where the line crossed a small run.
- T In a driveway at T are seen, well preserved and well exposed, 3 pairs of the square stone blocks.
- U At U the R.R. crossed the Old Lancaster Road (now Montgomery Ave.) which was bent for the purpose crossing the R.R. at right angles. The resulting "kink" has been removed. From U to the east side of Montgomery Ave., the line is easily traced by old trees, underbrush and the remains of a shallow cut.
- VW From V to a point just east of the Lower Merion High School at W, the R.R. line lies a little to the northward of Montgomery Ave. (then Old Lancaster Road). It was here mostly in shallow excavation, where many square stone blocks are still in place. The line is easily recognizable from Montgomery Ave. by the double line of trees which its presence preserved from destruction.
- WX Between W and X, the R.R. line described a curve of some 75 degrees to the right, ending at about the present Thompson Avenue, a little south of the east end of Coulter Ave. In the yard of Mr. Swartz, at X, is a stone block, with chair mark, apparently nearly in place. From X, the R.R. line lay a little to the south of the present Coulter Avenue, probably meeting it and the present main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad where the two now intersect, at Y.
- The portion of the Philadelphia & Columbia R.R. from A to Broad and Vine Streets was sold by the State Canal Commissioners to the Philadelphia and Reading R.R. Company Dec. 31, 1847 for $243,200.
- An Act of 1851, April 15, Authorized the Canal Commissioners to sell the line between A and Y, and it was sold to the Philadelphia and Reading R.R. Company for $12,000 or $16,000 according to different accounts. A&P Roberts afterward bought part or all of the rails on AY for use as scrap in their mills.

Hi Zealot,
With the days being warmer, the centeral heating system sitting idle until hours after midnight wakes me coughing from the settled dust being baked and blew through during the first cycle. The system has spiraled vinyl air-ducts that are becoming more of a problem each year. The neighbors discovered that if the vents are completely closed, the duct will "blow" off the vent, and discharge into the attic (they found out why that nail was in each vent to prevent complete closure), and now, the dangers of trying to clean out any dust that has made it past the intake filters are apparent.
I think my virus is finally leaving, so I'm getting back to my normal partial seizures and migraines, while being ready to prevent the secondarily generalized tonic-clonics when clusters of seizures start. I'm trying to get more day-to-day provisions by delivery with all the "free shipping" offers, and to try the limits of life out of a can; delivered frozen foods are three-times more expensive. Getting anything locally (and getting it back home), is becoming more limited in choice, price, and availability.
The gardening here is limited to mainly spring and very early summer flowers, so the best time of the year is beginning!!!
I had much better luck growing vegetables in Santa Cruz County, CA. Places in the foothills there, every plant in the world could thrive.
Lots of Love,
Tadzio

Tadzio,
I'm so happy to hear from you. I'm so glad you're well enough to write. I was starting to get a little worried.
I am also having trouble with the forced hot air heat. I wake up in the middle of the night from it, choking. I feel like it's out of the frying pan into the fire.
There is a Whole Foods a quick bus ride away. I love Whole Foods, but it is expensive to shop there. I need to find a way to get staples into the house. I think mail order is the way to go.
The big supermarkets are a real schlep. Two long bus rides plus walking. I don't think it's possible.
There is nothing near the house. Broad Street is a 15 minute walk from here. There are stores, but I don't really know what kind. This is the ghetto and there isn't much here.
Too bad you can't move back to SoCal. Life sounded better there. Too bad I can't get my old life back. I'm having trouble making a go of my "new" one. I don't feel like it's much of a life right now. Big oh well.
Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.

Hi Zealot,
Epilepsy-dot-com Spam-Trap tripping campaign is at work again, so my expanded post crashed. It was briefly hot here, and my migraines are pausing more and more, leaving me in a "displaced" feeling.
I was going to post 4 responses. Only one posted, lost two of them, and saved the following one. I hope it makes sense.
Lots of Love,
Tadzio

Hi Alina,
Peers, professionals, professors, and fellow students can become quite crude and prejudicial when a person with epilepsy is involved in their discussions.
Back in the 1980's, I sought relief under the Rehabilitation Act, since some federal judges were ruling everything from sensitivity-to-cigarrette-smoke to epilepsy, was protected from discrimination, until the Supreme Court ruled nothing was a protected disability. Only one agency EEOC counselor recommended that I be hired after he reviewed the agency records that verified I had the best job scores amongst the certificate group, labeled with a remark for me re "the public takes this type of impaired person as a stressful and troublesome doozy" (others agencies cited that epilepsy implied failure with most everything of merit). Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) soon taught me that entire organizational hierarchies regarded epilepsy as meaning failure, despite any contrary evidence of great success.
The classics that I had already read became very helpful, from Aristophanes to Jane Austen, as Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" is too optimistic, though memorizing Catch-22 was feasible, but it was lacking in scope against the best bitter, cynical, and satirical writings in the world. So, soon as the ALJs started giving it, they started getting it in return (sticking pins into ALJs' bubbles is an active relief, but one of them demanded that I lecture him in Rabelais with my epileptic gifts from the gods, though he continued to brown nose the agencies' views of epilepsy otherwise).
Adferat ipse licet sacras Epidaurius herbas; Sanabit nulla vulnera cordis ope. http://books.google.com/books?id=iQZ9IM3PHC4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=the+mangy+parrot&hl=en&ei=7MqWTf24CoGosAOMgtnLBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=epilepsy&f=false
Let the Epidaurian in person bring holy herbs, he will have no skill with which to heal wounds in the heart. (Aesculapius, whose greatest
temple was at Epidaurus.): http://www.archive.org/details/ovidtristiaexpon011949mbp

Tadzio,
I've posted replies on Alina's fora, but I've never read her blog. I don't read the blogs on epilepsy-dot-com. I guess I should. People really pour their hearts out there.
Your reply was very kind. I don't know what makes people feel they have the right to be so abusive. I don't know what makes the judges feel so free to act with prejudice. I know even less what makes the doctors feel so free to act with prejudice because they shouldn't have ignorance as an excuse. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Who knows. Maybe they don't.
This stuff upsets me beyond belief. I was able to hide my disabilities and work around them for quite some time. When I no longer could and the medical establishment got ahold of me, it was all over. Now I really am disabled and I don't think I otherwise would have been.
It seems that the ADA has been stood on it's head and is now being used to codify discrimination against the disabled. I understand why you enjoy sticking pins into judge's hot air balloons for sport. I know that you know that it will not serve your purposes, but I think that your assumption that their prejudice will triumph over justice is correct.
I was just befriended on facebook by someone who figured out that I have a problem with epilepsy. He was a friend of a friend and saw me posting on other people's threads. I guess it takes one to know one. He is divorced since his diagnosis and his ex convinced a judge to deny him visitation rights with his youngest because he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. He's also done stints in the bin and has lost count of how many times he's woken up in restraints because of his seizures. There's more and it's worse. Another horror story. Sound familiar?
I'm having trouble with my own breathing problems. The landlord changed the air filters on the heating system and that has helped. You ought to investigate the state of air filters where you live. That makes a huge difference.
I had a couple of really bad nights where I was coughing for hours. I have to dose up on the meds and that combined with the lack of sleep and not breathing properly gets me on a hair trigger. I also keep getting those bizarre "migraines." Those "that isn't a seizure" things I keep having for which no one seems to be able to give any alternate explanation.
I'm just as happy not to have epilepsy. I need a real doctor who will help me get disability for the asthma/COPD. It is debilitating. The pulmonologist gave me the bums rush and a come back and see me in six months. I don't think so. He charged me a lot of money and I didn't even get an accurate diagnosis. I am suffering from acute exacerbation due to my living conditions and he didn't check that box.
The doctors at Jefferson suck. They don't practice medicine; they phone it in. They are in business for the money. The place reeks of it. They are so status conscious and they really aren't all that. They're not even the top hospital in Philadelphia and their highly touted neuro unit isn't even in the top tier in the country.
I think I want to read those books. I've never read Ovid, that is a gap in my education. My Latin isn't good enough to tackle it in the original and my head hurts too much right now to learn a new language. Nothing breathing and enough sleep mightn't cure. I'll read it in English. I'll try to get a good used edition.
The mangy parrot is intriguing. I'll take a look at more of the excerpt. My reading list is impossibly long. There aren't enough hours in a lifetime to read everything I still want to read.
But I'm rambling. I'm tired and hungry. I need some supper.
Thanks for writing. I'm always so happy to hear from you. I look forward to hearing again from you soon.
Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.
