i drove up from DC last week on business, and stayed at the Downtown Marriot at 12th and Market. Drove the Rex, and it was a nice drive. Didnt' let the valets park the 8, so did the self park thing in a nice garage across the street on Filbert. I must say there are some big potholes in Philly though. Manholes are really low also. And whats with all the bags and debris flying everywhere? i guess it was windy.
All in all, had a nice time. Philly's cool.

Im going Mon, late afternoon-evening after work.
We'll pay for this weather somehow, it always balances out!
