Ain't nuthin' like the pretzels....the Saloon, Knave of Hearts, La Famiglia, and all the hole in the wall pizza/steak sandwich places that move around like so many chess pieces. University City...The Mummer's Parade on New Year's Eve....Society Hill....Market Square...Arch Street when it was still dirty book stores....burlesque.....oh yeah. Philly.
Like you, Deb...I'll be back when the Flyers bring home the CUP.

Damn Raven, you almost made me home sick! lol
How about Rocky Horror Picture Show at The TLA on Fridays & Saturdays @ midnight...Or Zipperhead on South Street...or hanging out in LOVE park during the nicer warm weather days? Gotta love the Mummers Parade - freezing your ass off and standing outside all day (partying) to root for your favorite String Band. My faves were always Woodland and Quaker City - I knew members from both bands. Oh, and speaking of "Bands"...Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers, Robert Hazard & The Heroes, The Hooters, Hall & Oates (they claim Philly as their 'home" even though they grew up in the 'burbs.), Patty LaBelle and the list goes on.
And when our Fly guys finally bring that cup home, Raven, we'll have to make plans to meet one another. I've been reading your posts for years, and knowing some of the peeps that you call 'friend' online, it would be a pleasure to meet you.
