Pina you need to change your sig line now don't you?

[Cagliostro]

If you are living in PA shouldn't your sig line be something to the effect "With Brotherly Love..." or something like that?

[Piña]

Not there yet. 'Sides that's Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, not the whole state.

[Cagliostro]

Oh. I wasn't sure, I kinda sorta thought it was just the city but didn't know if the whole state used that as their motto.

[Piña]

I think they're still just using the "Keystone State". It's been awhile since I lived in Philadelphia but I know it was just the city that used it when I was there. Think it was around '75 or '76. (Could be wrong, I'm incredibly bad with dates.)

[Cagliostro]

I know it's the city where Rocky ran up the courthouse steps, it's the city where Jamie Kennedy is from and it was our first national capitol. And there's a cheese named after the city [img]wink.gif[/img]

And the real number one attraction is the legendary Philadelphia CheeseSteak sandwich.

You just don't know how good they are in Philly.

I will be taking a few field trips just for them. And the street vendor pretzels. Yumm!

We visited Philadelphia when I was a little kid and I remember 2 things from that vacation:

I found a quarter outside by the steps at the motel we stayed in (hey .25 cents was a lot to a kid in 1974 or so...)

and we rode a Trolley car and he was going extra extra fast because his shift was ending and he wanted to get it back to the barn. Not sure why he felt pressed for time but that trolley was on a roll.

PhilCo is also from Philadelphia. The CEO for that company suggested to my former CEO he should give his company a broader based name (at the time it was named Cincinnati Communications) so he changed the name to Cincom.

one last thing, the SS United States sits rotting away in Philadelphia. On one of your excursions take some photos of it for me if you get a chance. I used to be an email pal with the man responsible for getting it put on the National Register. But until it finds a buyer with the means to restore it that once proud ship is slowly dying...Years ago before there were any casinos here in Florida I thought what a great casino it would make in the Gulf of Mexico. Now we have a bunch of smaller vessels and one huge casino/former ocean liner riding anchor south of St Petersburg.
