<slaps her forehead> OMG, how could I forget the Franklin Institute, especially since I was going to bring the kids there this past Sunday.

dk, just yell when you make it back to Philly. I'm game for hanging out with you, JB and Gubby, and any of the other locals here who would want to. I think it would be a blast.

No scrapple for me though! I'll do cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, Italian water ice or Tastykakes, but yuck! no scrapple for me!

I could drive up, provided if I get completely drunk someone would let me crash on their couch ...

OK KK, I'm for that. Been promising my eldest a trip to Franklin Institute for a while. Maybe a late night cruise through Germantown for some excitement afterwards.

I can get into a steak or any of the other goodies you mentioned. Since you don't want any, it just means I get all the scrapple to myself.

You know, there aren't any Germans left in Germantown, DK. Rumor has it that they've all been made into scrapple. I kinda doubt it 'cause I don't believe there's really any meat in scrapple. Just to be on the safe side, though, lock your doors and go fast when you take your drive through the old neighborhood or you might end up as someone's breakfast.

[dkiefner]

Yep, Dino - I think I was one of the last ones out.

Guess you'd have to define meat though.

Katey Katey Katey,

There are many other great attractions in and around Philadelphia that unsuspecting out of towners would surely benefit from seeing. A trip to Philly isn't complete without seeing the nasty homeless man on Market Street who wears a diaper (usually loaded with sh*t) made entirely out of plastic grocery store trashbags. On his more modest days he will accessorize with an open trench coat.

How about the great Walter Rand Transportation Center across the river in Camden? Yet another lovely attraction. Lovely that is, if your idea of a good time is witnessing as many drug transactions out in the open broad day light as you can possibly fathom.

And to top off your visit, you can rent a tour bus with a giant banner on the side that reads, "WE MAY BE WHITE BUT AT LEAST WE'RE NOT POOR," and ride it through a rather interactive tour of North Philly.
