Greetings from the Western portion of D7500, where we root for the Eagles, the Phillys, the Flyers, the 76ers and a yet to be named new soccer franchise. Philly is the home of the Mummers, the Philly Cheesesteak from Pats or Ginos in South Philly, The Rocky Statute, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the first Zoo in the US and the Ben Franklin Bridge.
Now, about the Ben Franklin Bridge, those of us from the GREAT STATE of New Jersey have an ongoing argument with our neighbors across the Delaware. They charge a bridge toll to enter Philadelphia and the kind and generous residents of The GREAT STATE of New Jersey allow free entrance to the Camden waterfront, which hosts the NJ Aquarium and the Battleship USS New Jersey. Then we allow them to visit the Jersey Shore, Las Vegas East, (we call it Atlantic City), Cape May with its Victorian Architecture and the Pine Barrens for free except if they take the expressway. We are also the agricultural mecca of the state, generating a major portion of the blueberries and cranberries grown in the United States.
Oh and when you arrive in Historic Burlington on the morning of April 17th, please be respectful for you will be in the first capital of THE GREAT STATE of New Jersey.
Well enough of that. Be it Known that Gina, Brandon, Brian, Jonathan and Dick are looking foward to meeting our new friends, Michael, Matthew, Louise, Sophie, Evan and Daniel from Down Under on the evening of the 25th of March at the home of our DGN Kathy.
And finally, here are two websites for you: http://www.philly.com/ and http://www.phillyzoo.com/
See you in little over three weeks
