Where I Grew Up

I've been in or going to Philadelphia most of my life. My latest trip was September, 2001 - Things were buzzing... new, great restaurants and many interesting places to visit.

This is the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You can almost see Rocky (of movie fame) running up the steps.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:My Home Town.. familiar, historic
  • Cons:Ah, can't think of one thing.
  • In a nutshell:Well worth a visit - great food and people.

    Yes, I've driven by the illuminated skyline of Philadelphia on more than one occasion - while streaking toward the Florida beaches! One of these days I really must stop! Nice tips.

    Now sporting more barriers, checkpoints, fences, and security guards than ever before! Also, they have completed a smattering of Independence Mall Exhitainment facilities since your last visit, zuriga
