Video: 2 min 32 seconds Isaiah Wilson Jr. Dream, Inventor, Philadelphian

This is a short video I just put together about Isaiah and his G-Cycle. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. This video was shot along N. 5th St. near York in one of the many multi-lot properties that are fenced in, usually enclosing a garden, picnic area, odd collectibles or just a shady tree. This one belongs to a guy named Manuel Rivera from Puerto Rico. I suspect I will go back because there is a story to be made here. Alejandro A.

Photo: Paleteria Delicias Philadelphia. Mango and strawberry are my favorites. A taste of Philadelphia

I am parked in my car along American St in Phila sending pictures back to the paper from an earlier event when the paleta (popsicle) guy rolls by. To save my life I cannot remember his name but don't be afraid to just yell "paleta". With his traditional push cart he will come to you. Try the mango or strawberry milk based popsicles, they are my favorite. Seeing these guys reminds me of my childhood in Mexico during family vacations. Alejandro A. Alvarez / Philadelphia Daily News
