Sentence to life: Pep The Cat-Murdering Dog
Eastern State Penitentiary was famous not only for being a massive, expensive structure that pledged to rehabilitate lawbreakers through “confinement in solitude with labor,” it was famous for the criminals it held within its walls.
Al Capone, Willie Sutton and Pep the Cat-Murdering Dog were among its more notorious inmates.
Philadelphia’s most haunted - Part 3
Guantanamo style?
There are certain parts of ESP that I did not see/was not allowed to get in while on my day tour last week - like the laundry room, kitchen, synagogue, operating room etc-etc-etc. Cause ako ay isang pangkaraniwang tao lamang? Those areas can be accessed if you are one ritz kid member of it’s chorvaley and who donates thousands and thousands of Dinars! I want unlimited pass and access to other facility of ESP as well!!! Bukas na bukas din mag-sign up ako as a member!
Oh yeah, on the image above, I wasn’t allowed on this side too! But some kid called me and showed me this through a small hole (glory hole? bwahahah…)
On our Terror Behind the Walls dramah the other day, we walked past through this, and it is really scary!!! We walked through a few cellblocks - just a few and I think we walk through the death row as well… I felt that really cold bars - FREAKY innit?
The prison stands today in a ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty…
I highly recommend that if you ever visit Philadelphia, as odd as it sounds, Eastern State Penitentiary is a must place to visit! [Worth it ang $12 plus if you are one senior-senioran citizen like me eh di $8 na lang!]
Eastern State Penitentiary - Terror Behind the Walls!
NOTE: All images are from my last weeks day trip!
Last night we was [Gil, Jasmine, Le, Chuva, Tasha and Me] at the #1 Haunted House in America! Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary!
We gots our tickets online thru ticketmaster (Thanks Gil! Sana nilubos-lubos mo na din no! Hehehe… Tutal Ritz naman kayo eh.) Tickets are now on sale for a very-very-vey cheap price for as low as $23 per person including taxes! [Pucha ang yaman na naman ng Ciudad ng Philadelphia nito!] Magandang raket to pramis! I hope all those monies doesn’t end up in some others peoples pockets no! (Parang sa Pinas? ZTE at Fertilizer scams? Hahaha…) I hope not!
There were alot of people ha, their like kabute’s here and there no bigla na lang nagsusulputan sa dami! Maybe because, just like us - many people believe that Eastern State Penitentiary is haunted!
Among the shows to investigate or document the ghosts of Eastern State Penitentiary are MTV’s Fear, Haunted History, America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions, America’s Ghost Hunters, Night Visitors, Most Haunted (for a seven-hour live broadcast) and Ghost Hunters. It was also used as the setting of a mental hospital in the Terry Gilliam film, Twelve Monkeys. [TARAY!]
As an abandoned penitentiary that is reportedly haunted, it’s such a perfect fit for Eastern State Penitentiary to transform itself every year into a haunted Halloween attraction!
Philadelphia’s most haunted - Part 2
ESP is a former state prison in the United States. It is located on Fairmount Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just 5 blocks north of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Eastern State Penitentiary is such a experience! [O diva? For a day I experienced how it feels like a kakosa/bulaklak ng city jail/jailbird lol...]
But I want more than that! I wanted to be a berdugo! lols…
The prison stands today in a ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty.
It’s vaulted, sky-lit cells held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and “Scarface” Al Capone.
Anong sinabi ng selda ni Romeo Jalosjos dito? Selda si Hubert Webb may sinabi kaya dito? O isali na din natin ang selda ni exconvict “daw” na si Claudio Tehankee Jr.
Ekkkkkk, may battle of the selda ba dito? Bwehehehe… Just being real yo! []D [] []\/[] []D my selda? HAHAHA!!!
The infamous gangster Al Capone spent eight months in this cell in 1929. The Philadelphia Daily Ledger published reports of his stay being quite luxurious in lieu of his fellow inmates.
Chicago’s most famous mob boss spent eight months at Eastern State in 1929-1930. Arrested for carrying a concealed, deadly weapon this was Capone’s first prison sentence.
His time in Eastern was spent in luxury compared to the other inmates; Capone had oriental rugs, a cabinet radio, free time, and access to the Deputy Warden’s phone. [Obviously!]
Philadelphia’s most haunted - Part 1
This is the Independence visitors center. [I am a visitor! lols] This is where your first stop if you are a first time visitor in Philadelphia! [You can purchase tickets here for attractions such as museums, guided walk tours, bus tour, find maps here, get the schedules of attractions and find great places to eat.]
Blast from the past: I am not part of the Bird family,
but I could really be that Cheep-Cheep-Cheep… (Cheap) I will do anything to save money. [Remember we are in recession!]
All these, happened before the recession OK… (Sometimes I wonder if am Indian and Chinese by chance… Hmmm.)
I remember, years ago… I was supposed to visit a friend in Santa Cruz, California somewhere near San Francisco and San Jose (correct me if am wrong, but hell I am not your miss you know it all that!) you know and the fares from Philadelphia to SanFo and SanJo are just about to cost me an arm and a leg at that time so I checked the fares on the same dates going into Los Angeles. Hell it was $200.00 something cheaper! I went to the latter. (Knowing that fares from Los Angeles to SanJo or Sanfo with United could be running roughly around $90.00 round trip mind you! but as I’ve said I am not miss you know it all that! I was really-really-really wrong about that $90.00!!! GrrRrrrRrrrRrrr…) Hell I was wrong, very wrong! Teeehehehe…
Of course when you travel, there should be…
Souvenirs right?
(The shops in Atlantic City near Bally’s Casino Resort.) This mall is pricey I tell you. Souvenirs doesn’t have to be that expensive… 
There are plethora of souvenir shops in Atlantic City, try bored walk lol…
It is is an object a traveler brings home for the memories associated with it, typically given by someone upon returning from a trip to be given to family member, friends, co-workers etc-etc-etc.
It may be a piece of clothing - shirts, hats, handkerchief, bandana and the like (they may be marked to indicate their origin). It could also be a household item such as coffee mugs, ashtrays and spoons.
America’s favorite playground - Atlantic City

No, I am not a hardcore gambler… [I just got all my money from my savings/checking account, my blue chips, my IRA and 401k - well what's the use of that? Now that market is down right? Ugh... Might as well use now hehehehe... I just can't wait to retire!!! (Tell me about it.)] I am just exaggerating… Uhg.
