Mister Ron's Basement #1745

This week, we are reading the truly unique writing of John Ames Mitchell, who, back in the 1880s, founded the original Life Magazine (the humor periodical) and was the editor for many years. 

Today we pay a visit to the City of Brotherly Love in the 1893 tale 'The Drowsy Village.' 

Time: approx eight and a half minutes.
