Look at this picture. Click the picture. Make it bigger.

Check that out. Off to the left. It says “Berks”. Yes, Berks. There is also a boy in this picture. Wearing a hand-knit cardigan. This kid is from Allentown, as best I can figure, and he decided to take an “edgy” picture at…yep…Berks station on the Market-Frankford (Blue) line here in Philadelphia.

I was thrilled to discover this and recognize the setting of the picture before all my knitter friends. But seriously…Berks isn’t the most hardcore of all stations. 52nd Street would have been a better choice. Or maybe 56th Street.
