We took a tour of Philadelphia and it is a very pretty city. On a sunny day anyway.
You go to New York for a deli, but Philly is for the Philly Steak and Cheese sandwich.But people kept telling us what great Dim Sun there was in China town. Philly has the third largest China town in the country after San Francisco and New York.
The row houses look a lot better than they ever did on the Cosby show.
And apparently they spend a lot of time in church
And since we are museum geeks, we went to the Rodin Museum
And the Philadelphia Art Museum
It has a great art collection, but it is probably better remembered for the stairs that Sylvester Stallone ran up in the Rocky movies. there is a statue of him by the stairs. There was a line of thirty people waiting to have their picture taken with the statue. And there is Love Park. It is the brain child of Edmund Bacon father of Kevin Bacon. It is one of the 10 best skate boarding parks in the country. Tony Hawk even included it in his video game. The sculptor who did the Love sculpture said the "O" was crooked because love isn't perfect. He had just divorced the third of his four wives.
