Totally Legit: Eating a Philly in Philly

we headed into Philly for a taste of history - and a Philly!

Philly is a big place, replete with history and skinny buildings

i was really digging on the old, skinny buildings

the liberty bell is there and free for the viewing, you just have to squeeze your way between dozens of chinese - as if they know something about liberty

but the main attraction in town is "Liberty Hall", the old courthouse where our founding fathers signed some old documents - here's the building from the outside


and here's our best picture of the actual room, with much of the original furniture! it was really humbling

and here's a fuzzy one of my ugly mug

and then we headed through "Society Hill" to Jim's for an authentic Philly. Society Hill was where all the rich people hung out years and years ago, its a wonderful old neighborhood and makes for a nice little stroll

and the verdict is: "authentic" phillies are really no better than any other philly

but there's no better way to keep it real in Philly
