This article is entirely too interesting. Recently, two "hipsters" bought what seemed to be a cute and innocent house in Bristol. Little did they know what they had gotten themselves in to. Quickly after their arrival, the couple found that what seemed to be a normal house ... turned out to be a meth lab. The people who lived in the house before them used the house to cater their crystal meth drug production. The leftover smells and fumes of the meth even remained.
On the bright side however, the couple came up with a way to raise money in order to restore the house. They have created a blog known as "Our Meth House Blog" (haha) which has thus far raised $8500 of the $25000 needed to clean up the house. I think it's great that they are using a social network to raise money for a good cause. It is unfortunate that the previous owners did such a thing to the house, but instead of moving, the hipster couple is branching out to the public for help. And by using a blog nontheless.
Just goes to show how crazy Philadelphia really can be. Well not even the city itself, but the people too.
