Can you take a bicycle on the train? I did that a bit when I was working in Virginia. Grab the bike and get on the train - I think the only let you take bikes on weekends, but I can't remember for sure.
I've been to the Reading Market, my company's building is really close to it. I've never had a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. It's a terrible thing to eat that goes down FABULOUSLY - LOL!!! I think you should probably only eat one or two of those in your lifetime though. At that place, you could probably buy something representing every ethnic food group on the planet.
I think, career wise, it might be a good idea for me to give this at least a temporary try. I can make a lot of positive changes if I do this even for a short time (positive for the company). But clearly, there are alot of drawbacks.... Higher cost of living, higher taxes, and my fun quotient goes way way down.
So: On the plus side: Good move career wise, tickets for Phillys games (a perk), museums, etc.
Negative side: Expensive, high taxes, mean people, nasty roads, icky weather.
Dang. That's not sounding so good, is it?
