I had to go to Philly for a week of meetings, when living in Lancaster. I could not wait to get out of there! Went by train and then taxi to the Omni, each day, rather than stay in the city. It’s a very “dark” city.

You must have gone in fall or winter. My recollections of living there more than 30 years are very sunny, indeed. I loved walking up the Parkway to the Art Museum, biking along the River Drives, picnics in the parks, shopping in Wanamaker's or Strawbridges, eating in Chinatown, or just strolling around Center City, South Street, Penn Campus or South Philly. It was even fun in the snow. I miss it very much; but the political and social climates have changed, so that even if I went back, it would not be the same.

Well that was 30 years ago...it’s certainly not that now. But nice you have those memories. I think many have found memories of how it use to be....children today cannot say the same.
