"HARD TO BELIEVE, HARRY." (I'm channelling for the late great Richie Ashburn) " Clark DeLeon has been writing about this famous international bike race in Philadelphia every June since it debuted 24 years ago, and Sunday was the first time he watched the race live from the top of 'The Wall' in Manayunk."

"Right you are, Whitey." (Now I'm channelling for Harry Kalas.) "But I believe the top of 'The Wall" is actually in Roxborough, not Manayunk.. It starts at the bottom of Levering Street in Manayunk, but by the time the racers turn right to begin their return to Center City at Pechin Street, they have reached the heights of Roxborough. In fact, Levering Street becomes Lyceum Avenue on the west (uphill) side of Manayunk Avenue, the official border between uptown (Ridge Avenue) Roxborough girls and downtown (Main Street) Manayunk boys."

"Geez Louise, Harry, usually you let Wheeler make those boring distincttions."

"Not any more, Your Whiteness, not since Clark's grandaughter Lucy Ann moved into her parents' newly purchased house in Roxborugh. You know what a Philadelphia neighborhood nazi Clark is. And when he saw the top of 'The Wall' was only two blocks away and how Levering Street had suddenly turned into Lyceum Avenue, the same weird way Second Street becomes Third Street south of Snyder Ave. in South Philly. Well, sir, that just set of some alarms inside the head of Mister "Thinks" He's Mister Philadelphia. "

"Harry, don't tell me Clark is going to try to change the unofficial name of America's premier bike race from the "Tour 'd Yunk" into the "Top of the Rox."

"Whitey, I wouldn't put anything past a proud grandfather on a mission. Did you see that 'Friends of 'CLARK PARK.' T-shirt he was wearing during the race. Clark 'thinks' his children believe that their neighborhood park in West Philadelphia is named after him."

"Hard to believe, Harry."

"Not if you know Clark, Whitey."
