Only in Philadelphia: The Case of The Ominous Bag

Tony Draus was raised in rural Pennsylvania. He knew that Philadelphia had a lot of crime and street-corner drug dealing. 

Tony was driving into the city to visit a college roommate and stopped at a red light, when he noticed a tough-looking character brazenly approaching motorists, offering to sell something hidden in brown bags.

Tony rolled up his car windows, checked to see that his doors were locked and ignored the drug dealer’s tap on his window. He sped off when the light changed and later told his Philadelphia friend about the experience.

The Philadelphian explained that the man was not a drug dealer. The brown bags contained soft pretzels.
