When you say there are "no changes" involved in "redoing" your façade, what exactly do you mean? Way too many variables here to say blanketly whether you should even be doing the work yourself.

The only part I don't necessarily like (aside from it being the sum total of our state flag) is the ship. I'm sure its suppose to be William Penn's ship but did I feel like there are more powerful symbols for his founding of the colony than his ride up the Delaware, right? I just think for a state with only 40 miles of lake front and 50 miles of river navigable by a ship like that, why are we leaning into this maritime motif? I say we replace the ship with some more significant, like a miner's pick, industrial hammer, pretzel, liberty bell, locomotive, whitetail deer, factory belching smoke, crucible in a steel mill, Quaker getting a Lenape man sign away his shit, literally anything. I would also contend that the center images should not be contained in a keystone made of riveted steel instead of some weird baroque whatever that is.

One night like 12-13 years ago I was at McGlicheys with my boy Jim and we saw a homeless dude walk in, head back and use the men’s. Bartender looked like wanted to stop him but got distracted. After a few the hobo came out and on his way back up front stops and bums a smoke off me. I think nothing of any of this until I have to use the can myself, at which point I walk into the restroom and there’s a dude at the urinal so I go in the stall. Turns out the hobo had done a messy shit all over the toilet. Looked like someone had flung a pot of chili over everywhere. So I warned the bartender whose initial hesitance to let this dude use the facilities now seemed prescient. Bartender then proceeds to prop the door of the men’s open and spray the whole room with a garden hose from like 10’ away. I didn’t notice any functioning floor drain so this action is rapidly spreading hobo poo everywhere via an expanding puddle of effluence across the floor and atomized via splatters from the force of the relentless hosing. Thinking back I really question this cleaning method.
