By the convention center! Thanks dude! I'll probably be there tonight if I dont drink. Hows security?

Wrong side of the city, but there's a pretty big garage, like 9-10 stories, above the Fresh Grocer on 40th and Walnut. Some of the University of Pennsylvania security people go up there sometimes, but in general those guys don't care about anything. One of them even encouraged me to try riding it once, haha. They're not cops and can't do anything but call the real cops, so if it came to it you could always just leave.

Only problem is that the supermarket's 24 hours so it might not be completely deserted at night, but I've been meaning to give it a shot one of these days.

What do you mean wrong side of the city?

I know the one youre talking about. That area is always really busy and university city is a bit too far for me to skate to. Maybe I'll try if I feel like using my car one night.(Driving is so boring now! I just want to skate everywhere.

I mean it might be a little out of your way, it sounded like you were looking for stuff in South Philly, not West Philly.

not the convention centerf, two blocks from there, you can explore all of philly on a longboard in about fifteen minutes
amtrak one at 30th street station is 7 floors and has an elevator, security is there but kind of looks the other way
one by hannaman hospital where i was assualted by a guard but its like 18 floors
