Philadelphia, PA
June 18, 2008

S&A Press -- Stan and I joined up again today for lunch at the Reading
Terminal Market. We met up timewise around 1:00PM only a minute apart so
our timing was great.

We didn't dilly-dally all over the market like last time and I quickly got
a chicken/salsa wrap and a bottle of water and Stan grabbed a homestyle
plate of turkey with all the fixings, and a diet ginger ale as an
afterthought.

Neither of us did any food shopping there today.

We stepped outside and sat at a sidewalk table as the world passed by, Stan
pointing out some building highlights. It was very nice weather but the
weather talking heads said chance of showers so we both brought umbrellas.

We whipped out our pocket cameras and then, we walked! First to City Hall
to visit Mr. Penn and look in and around it. The inside was being used for
a film shoot, so we weren't allowed full access. "Transformers II" we were
told. So be sure to see it after "Stan & Andy's Excellent Adventure" comes
out in theaters real soon!

Around City Hall (which sits on a city block island with a roundabout of
traffic all around it. Along 1/8 circle was a (Stan, correct me if I'm
wrong) Community Farmer's Market. Small but still a great effort of a
community.

Then we crossed the street to Market street when Stan got hit by 4 or 5
raindrops and I got hit by 1 or 2. Didn't even have time to quick draw our
umbrellas.

Stan being a Philly native was a great tour guide pointing out buildings
and answering all my questions with suave and ease. And we walked and
talked about anything and everything.

I smartly took an indocin at lunch to keep my lame feet from bothering me
and luck would have it, from 12th street to 30th street and a lap around
City Hall we walked 22 blocks (more than half the length of center city
"proper" from east to west. I kept up to Stan the whole time, with only a
few lag behinds.

When we got to 30th Street Station we sat down and I checked my train
schedule and had a train 10 minutes away at 2:54PM, I couldn't believe it
had only been two hours. I think my bad feet told me I was tired. I
could've lasted longer if I could've napped on a bench at the train station
just a few minutes!

Stan also got his driver's license renewed this morning and he looks better
on the new license (or less guilty anyway).

We agreed to do it again some sunny day!

To be continued.

Andy, your rendition of your adventure sounds perfectly accurate. I
ended up arriving in the city (via train) two hours prior to our 1:00pm
meeting at the Reading Terminal Farmers Market. I walked from 8th &
Market Streets to 23rd & Walnut Streets with my laptop in my backpack. I
dropped my laptop off at Springboard Media and the gentleman at the
service counter was nice enough to swap out the 80GB hard drive with a
new 250GB hard drive ... after I paid them a few hundred dollars! I am
copying my backup disk to the new internal disk now as I write this
message.

After you board the train to go home, I walked back to Spring Board
Media to see what was happening with my laptop. That was around 4:00. So
I decided I was hungry again and I walked over to 16th & South Streets
and I went to Don's Ribs and I ordered a barbecue chicken platter for an
early dinner. Just as I finished eating dinner, I got a call on my cell
phone that my laptop was ready to be picked up, so I strolled back to
the computer store, paid, and they gave me my computer back, then I
walked through Rittenhouse Square back to the PATCO train station on
Locust Street to go home.

All told, my iPod+Nike pedometer says I walked a bit more than 8 miles!
My feet are killing me! I plan to go to Washington DC tomorrow to shoot
photos if the weather cooperates. I really want to eat dinner too at the
Ketchup restaurant in the National Harbor area.

Stan,

Ron's Ribs or Don's Ribs? I remember the "Al Roker on the Road" Food-TV
Show showcasing it.

I just got back from Kansas City and am back over 200 lbs. I'll weigh in
maybe a pound lighter after our walk today!

So you're feet are killing you?

Enjoy the Ketchup restaurant (???).

Have a safe trip down and back.

Best,

Andy

ginny,

The "loop?" We ain't no "Little Rascals" "Female Woman Haters Club," for
sure!!!

Heck, it would be a momentous occasion to have all the r.f.c membership
arrive at RTM! (wishful thinking).

I think I seem to recall, in error, it was the "He-Man Woman Haters Club."

Boy am I red!

You know, that place needs a Gelateria.

There's a Bassett's ice cream store. They have low fat peach yogurt and
it tastes great!

Stan,

Would it be a stretch at the same time to visit the Italian market in South
Philly? Who wouldn't want to visit Fantés? Empty their wallets in favor of
kitchen calamity bits and pieces, etc?

We could Pho if George would join in.

Best,

Andy
Summer starts at 7:59PM today

Actually, I would forgo the RTM for an afternoon of frolicking around the
Italian Market. I get to Reading Terminal 3 or 4 times a year but never get
to the Italian Market.

Jon,

Well, that's just a personal problem.

I'm faster to the Italian market by car than to RTM by train.

Get off your feet, ya BUM!!!

Best,

Andy

RTM is the way to go if you are doing it by train. If you are driving,
then IM is the Washington Street exit on I95. Forget trying to park in CC
Philly.

Parking isn't bad in CC just spendy. However you can park 2 hours at the
12th & Filbert garage for $3 if you buy more than $10 from a merchant at
RTM and get the ticket validated. I don't go to CC very often except
recently because a family member had major surgery at Jefferson.

I typically hit Washington St when driving in Philly. As you said
parking is easy. I visit either or both of the Vietnamese malls or the
couple great Mexican places. Next time I want to try an Indonesian place
a friend told me about.

Another option for those who prefer public transit, is to take the
appropriate regional rail to Center City, then take SEPTA's Broad St.
subway to the Ellsworth-Federal stop and walk from there, or just walk
from the Gallery, which is probably the nearest regional rail stop to
the Italian Market; its about a one mile walk.
