      Today's product is a walking stick that unscrews into various sections each of which has a tool including a huge knife. Take it through TSA!

      Introducing my son to a South Philly tradition
      A man in blue jeans, a navy blue jacket, and a winter Eagles hat holding hands with a toddler in a two tone blue jacket. They are about to cross the street and walk towards a block of row homes all lit up for Christmas. A strand of lights across the street says The Miracle on South 13th Street.
