This is Philly!

Philadelphia is... mummers on New Year's!

Its been more than a decade since I was first introduced to what I now know as the city of brotherly love. Prior to this very abrupt introduction, my only source of knowledge about this city came directly from the beloved Will Smith and the hideous images shown on his now syndicated show Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I am relieved to say, that is not the Philadelphia I know.

Granted parts of Philly after dark can be a bit questionable...Temple campus...10th and Cecil B Moore...need I say more? But the point is Philly has tons to offer. It is a growing metropolis, rich with culture and diversity. Its loaded with museums, every morsel fulled with history. Restaurants have been booming through its nooks for years now, from BYO's to the Starr's. Old desolate corners are re- flourishing. Chestnut street is making a strong and resilient return from gray hibernation. I'm just lucky to be in the midst of it all...and hopefully I'll be able to guide you through the city. Together we'll explore art galleries, museums, restaurants, eateries, bars...and everything else I find while gallivanting...Philly Style!
