Save On A Move To Philly For One Last Spectrum Performance

Whether you're from Philly or you're just a sports or entertainment or sports entertainment (WWE anyone?) fan, you probably have fond memories of the Philadelphia Spectrum. My personal favorite just happens to be that Dr. J swooping lay-up from the right side of the basket. Or maybe it's Julius' rock-the-baby -to-sleep dunk with Michael Cooper flying by that's my favorite. I guess it's sad that my favorite Spectrum, which was built in 1967, memories are of Dr. J doing something bad to my Los Angeles Lakers, but anyway. Well now they're tearing the old arena down and what's going to be the final lasting memory? Pearl Jam. I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan, but that's a decent way to end the run of the Spectrum, isn't it? I'm not sure, but it's obviously not my call. Former ESPN personality Max Kellerman once noted that here in the U.S., we tear down our colisseums, unlike in Rome where they keep them around forever. He made this statement while discussing the Yankees move into their new stadiums, and the Spectrum almost fits into that same category. With countless memories emanating from that venue, I can't help but feel sad knowing that we won't see 76ers nor Flyers games taking place in that once-hollowed arena. If you want to move out to Philadelphia to catch one last glimpse at the arena or you want to hurry up and move out there to watch Pearl Jam, go ahead and give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or send us an e-mail here to get a free quote request on your move today
