Whitman's invincible city

it appears the city of Camden has decided to offer a tour of Walt Whitman's home. The tour will be away from the Waterfront of Camden (scary thought) and includes a Whitman impersonator. for $30, it's not a bad deal.

Camden isn't the nicest place around, but this little attraction certainly makes it a bit more enticing; at least to this struggling poet.

Holy Crap! CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY! Are they crazy? Sorry, but this is the LAST place I would go. I know there is a pretty cool aquarium there but I never went. I was afraid some lunatic would kill us!

Sorry...I got lost there once. Not a good experience.

yeah, Camden is pretty scary. but, the Waterfront is actually pretty nice. i think it's high time they did something like this. Whitman is a national treasure and by god the dude lived there for quite awhile.

Phish and the Dead are probably the only two bands that could make a place like Camden fun... :)
