David was at the ISSCR conference in Philadelphia so I decided to come down for the weekend to see the city.  I was also able to catch up with my friend Kevin who is currently based at PHL as a first officer for Republic Airlines. They operate many US Express flights from that airport.
         I wasn't sure what to expect from Philadelphia I have changed through the airport many times, although it has improved, I remember the days when it was quite a dump.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by my visit.  The town has lots to offer not only historically but also great dining, shopping and entertainment.  One of their newest additions is the National Constitution Center.


     
Here is city hall one of the tallest habitable buildings not made of any steel.


    
The famous Independence Hall where the Constitution was drafted.
