The free library is amazing. The kid got in Jules Verne, so we are taking a day off work/school to go look at the first editions at the central branch! Anyone can do this (just make an appointment) and it makes me so happy!

I had my perfect Philadelphia day one Sunday in Autumn back in the 80's. My GF (now wife) and I lived in Kensington. We got on the El at K&A and took it down to Girard Ave. We got on the trolley (I don't remember the number) and rode to the zoo. We spent a couple of hours at the zoo and then walked to the Waterworks, to the Art Museum steps, down the Parkway and got back on the El and went home. Back then Center City was fairly deserted on a Sunday but it was very pleasant all around.
