You know who really runs this city?

Lew Blum.

In my quest to learn more about the evil empire that is Lew Blum Towing, i stumbled across this article from Philadelphia Weekly. Tiny snippet:
Some kids grow up wanting to be an astronaut or a football hero, but Blum knew early on that there was only one job for him: tow-truck driver.
It was fate. Turns out this SOB is the nephew of George Smith, the guy who runs the other like, 5 percent of the Philly towing game. It seems that Blum is so feared that people are afraid to even take photos of his infamous towing signs that are littered throughout the city. At least, i couldn't find any on Google or Yahoo image searches. Allegedly, one of his signs even pops up in an old Coke commercial (the one with G. Love, I think).

That's all for now.



Comments:
It's nice to finally put a face to the name. Lew Blum is a golden god in Philly.
 
in an attempt to be symbologist, i tried scrambling the letters in "LEW BLUM"; in an attempt to
A. Prove he is the devil
and
B. Prove that i am a mad genious.

neither of those things worked, however, it does spell

WELL BUM
