In these multi-cultural times..........

On the way to work this morning, I glimpsed something a bit unusual. Out here in the almost-exurb suburbs of Philadelphia, the Jewish presence is very slight (although in the closer- in suburbs and the city itself there is a fairly large and increasingly active Jewish population).

But on either the Blockbuster Video or the Carraba's Italian Grill (I didn't see it in time to slow down and figure out which), there was a large Magen David; it looks like it is made up of bright lights.

I expect a tinsel-y menorah on the Borders in Wynnewood, with its large Jewish population. I don't expect a Star of David out in this area.

And, even more surprisingly, there were no other outside decorations.

On the other hand, maybe whichever business put it up got it because the store was out of other types of Christmas stars........
