Thank you wanda but I have no idea what that means. I am not familiar with Philadelphia at all. I went to see the Liberty Bell when I was 10 and had someone from AAA talk me into Mt Moriah in 2003. They are my only experiences with the city. Thanks for the thoughts. I can google thoes streets though.
