the city that loves you back

Philly things I'll be adopting, Part I:

1. Cheesesteaks. I hereby shelve vegetarianism until I can find a cheese-veggie that's half as delicious
2. The Eagles. Yes, they signed Michael Vick, but no, I've never been to a professional football game and I'm totally stoked for the season!
3. The Phillies. I'm like 90% sure they won the World Series last year, you guys
4. A distaste for New Jersey (that remains unexplained)
5. A fiery love of hot street pretzels! Well, a continuing fiery love
6. Deep respect for Ben Franklin, the Thomas Jefferson of Philadelphia
7. The Philadelphia Museum of Art (many times over!)
8. An ability to ride trains? Yet another travel frontier
9. Yuengling! Cheers to America's oldest brewery (that's still American)!
10. Snow. It's inevitable, so I'm making the best of it: Ski trips!

List to be continued as I stumble my way through the City of Brotherly Love (and sign up for things I should schedule with you!)

Promise this is one of the last LOVE park photos.
For a while, anyway
