[78-L] HMV in doggie do?

[N7MW at aol.com]

My Dad, who did a lot of business in the Philadelphia area back in the day  
(1950's and 60's), used to say that Camden's sole reason for existence was 
to  make Philadelphia look good...

That  article concerned the HMV stores, not the record company.  But  
actually it is Camden New Jersey which is REALLY in doggie do.  You  
might have noticed in the news that the mayor has laid off HALF of the  
POLICE and one third of the firemen.  When I was in college in  
Philadelphia in the mid-60s, Camden was a a place you RUSHED through as  
FAST as you could after you went over the Ben Franklin Bridge.  The  
comedy news program "The Daily Show" just did a piece about the crisis  
showing Camden as a video game of doom, and one of the shots was a dog  
with a human head in its mouth.  No mention of Little Nipper, but  that 
was my interpretation.  HMH, His Master's Head.
