Default what to do in Philly?

I keep seeing ads on tv to go visit Philly for the weekend..... i would be happy getting there mid day Saturday and leaving mid day sunday.

What can we do? I would probably want to leave my car in one spot, and my kids are not into walking more than a few miles.......

is there neat stuff down town? about 12 years ago i ate at that Le-bec-fin place and somehow found an underground mall type place.?

is there neat cultural stuff? The route where rocky was running is not considered cultural...

Thanks


and if we time it right, I can bring my evo and skunk all of you fags with S2000's

The Constitution center is new and supposed to be very cool. It is not far from Independence Hall and Betsey Ross' House. Also in the neighborhood is the US mint, though I am not sure if they are open on the weekend.

If you go out to the Parkway area, there's the Franklin Institiute, The Art Museum, (that's where Rocky ran up the steps but the museum is world class) The Rodin Museum and the Museum of Natural history.

Sorry, you won't see many S2000 around this weekend....Fall Colors. Scot you should be going to Pitt. not Phila. this weekend.

not going to philly this weekend..... i would have gone to fall colors to show off my s2000 racing heap.....but we have a race this weekend at Summit Point.

Evo is tough as shit. Mine has about 14k miles...3 track days, 3 visits to the drag strip, 3 days of auto-xing and lots of runs on the street.... not a problem with it. (an intake hose popped off not too long after i got it, but that was just a lose clamp....)

thanks for the links to philly stuff... my kids are 10 & 8... not into museums too much...... so much for culture...haha..

I wouldn't be advertising this I am sure you have heard about Three Diamonds position on racing your fine automobile and denying warranty claims on cars talked about on the internet/forums that were raced
