[Blindtlk] Chapters in Philadelphia and New York?

[Constance Canode]

I am originally from Philadelphia and am a former member of the 
Greater Philadelphia chapter.  I try to get back once or twice a 
year.  I miss it terribly.  Philly is a wonderful city to get 
around.  The Els go east and west and the Broad Street subway goes 
north and south.  There are many different buses and it is easy to 
get into the burbs.  Center city is my favorite part of Philly, lots 
of great food and shopping and stuff to do.  It is also easy to get 
into Jersey where there are better malls than the one in center 
city.  .  Temple is a great college.  In fact, the mens' basketball 
team is a part of March madness again this year.  I love March 
madness.  Lots of culture and museums in Philly as well and if you 
haven't eaten a cheesesteak, you just haven't really 
lived...smile.  Stay away from Pat's and Gino's.  They are tourist 
traps.  However, if you want a great hoagie, go to Zio's at 13th and 
Chestnut in center city.  South Philly also has a myriad of eating 
places and good pizza  .Of course, we all know that New York pizza is 
awesome.  Good luck with your endeavors.
