Philadelphia Fall 2006 My 1st Real Trip To The City Of Brotherly Love

ChrisLA · #1 Posted **Dec 17, 2006, 1:37 PM**

I'll start out with a very brief tour of the Bed & Breakfast I stayed at in University City. I was a few stops from the University of Penn.

Ok now lets go see the city

Hey is this San Franicsco?

My two tour guides, guess who?

I think Betsy Ross was holding out on a little secret (lol). I think she may have had a sugar daddy. Her house was much bigger than I would have imagined. Especially for that time period most people didn't live in homes that big.

.

Special Thanks to Volguus Zildrohar, and Lecom for their hospitality Thanks for the hole in my shoes, and blisters on my feet.

Also a special thanks go out to my SSC pal Moth who drove me all around Philly, and treated me to my first Philly Steak at Rick's. To you all again thanks, and if you're ever in Los Angeles give me a ring, you'll get the best tour of L.A. one can hope for.

Also thanks to Giovanni Sasso for meeting up with us for dinner and a beer. It was a pleasure to meet you. I have to say you're much different than I expected. One thing for sure is you didn't have the typical east coast accent. To me you sound more like someone from the west coast.

Good night Philly, courtesy of Volguus who happened to be relentless in getting a clear shot without a tripod. Thanks

The woodwork in the Bed and Breakfast is something you just can't get anymore.

Nice pictures...it looks like the perfect city to me!

We're blessed to have a lot of local Philly forumers who turn out some really exceptional photography; and it seems when we have visitors, the city inspires some great photography as well. maybe it's something about the place.

Great pictures Chris. You really see the city the way I see it.

If that is not a real city, I don't know what is. Wonderful photos.

It's about time you posted that stuff; great shots. Funny thing, I can still hear Steve's commentary with half the shots, when he was unloading some info while you were shooting around.
