Philly next week

[sonrisa]

Anyone else going to the democrat convention?

Any suggestions from locals?

[gummybear]

It's going to be hot as balls. Where are you staying?

[sonrisa]

at an airbnb.

I'm not used to hot these days. We put on short sleeves and get excited for "real summer weather" when it hits 68 degrees.

[Eagles]

Yeah, temps will be in the 90s and very humid. I can give recs based on the neighborhood where your rental is located. Are you going down to the actual convention?

[joy]

I'm hiding in my house next to an air conditioner.

It's going to be as hot as Satan's butthole next week. Welcome! Have fun!

I am dreading the whole frigging thing. I work in the thick of it and it is getting nasty in this area already, ugh.
I can't believe they are banning trucks on that portion of 95 that week, makes sense but it's crazycakes to me, I don't think I have ever seen that happen before.

[BaliHai]

I wanted to go, but crowds. And heat. Oh, and work. So I'm just going to watch the coverage instead, but I bet it will be awesome!

They're closing exits too, but luckily my exit is one north of the stadium complex so I should be okay. I'm waiting to see how it shakes out in Center City. I think we'll be fine in the historic district.

Where are you staying? And what days will you be here? I can give suggestions based on that, but I live in the city so that's all I know!

There isn't too much directly in the area of the Wells Fargo Center. It's more a sports arena area. XFinity Live is good if you want to grab a drink and some quick food. I have been to the Victory Beer Hall and got some good apps.

I am not sure where your AirBnB is but if it is in South Philadelphia you have potential for a lot of good things.

I am also so jealous. I took off on Tuesday to go counter WBC at a local clinic and I think before or after I may wander down to the area of the convention to check out what is going on.

My exit is the stadium exit...lol, I will just have to go down to the Tasykake exit, nobody bakes a kake as tasty as a tastykake!

We're practically neighbors!

I will be keeping myself on the east side of the bridges. I do not have patience for that traffic - esp when it is stupid hot.

That's why I always find you so funny.

Now I'm paranoid that you know me IRL and just aren't saying.

LOL..NOW you have me all paranoid. I'm looking around. Does it help if I tell you I only work over here?
