With Dave in Philadelphia for the winter and spring, I've had a unique chance to get my hands on a little of just what this city promises: Brotherly Love. It turns out, this metropolis is just a stone's throw away--2 hours door to door from Brooklyn to Dave's house in West Philly. It's also a really fun place to spend time, in some ways a miniature version of New York. It has a good public transit system, a great restaurant and bar scene and some impressive boulevards and splendid vistas over the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. And let's not forget about all the historical opportunities, something this guy [Ray points to his chest with two thumbs and a big cheese on his face] is all about.

In addition to a few trips down for the sole purpose of visiting the brotherman, I have had the good fortune to be sent to Philadelphia numerous times for business. Why how professional, Ray, you are thinking. No I do not work in consulting or market research. Rather, I am a Tour Director, who accompanies class trips to exotic historic destinations such as Philadelphia and Washington DC. It was on such a trip that Dave and I shared the first of the many "business lunches" that lie ahead, as documented below.

Good looks Philly! I'm excited to spend more time getting to know you, even if it involves telling 7th graders how Betsy Ross may or may not have lived in this house where she may or may not have sewn the first American flag.
