Bill tweeted Sanheim didn't skate today, so I guess that means he knows Sanheim won't be on the ice with group 2 at 11:30am.

No but for real, if you like food Jim's Steaks, Reading Terminal Dinics Pork sandwich with rabe, Nick's roast beef sandwich and gravy fries.

If you like Halloween, eastern state penitentiary. Old city is the best part of town, worth a walk around. Libert bell is there and stuff.

That's my 30 second rundown, others will provide more. I gotta go make IVs

Depends on what your interests are.

If it's a family with trip with young kids, The Franklin Institute is a must.

If you are into more highbrow culture The Philadelphia Museum of Art would be a great place to visit.

If you are into live music, Union Transfer is a cool venue to see some great original music.

If you are looking for Philly flavored eats, try the Reading Terminal Market, there is something for everyone there.

If he can do all this in one weekend, he deserves both a medal and a free trip to a cardiologist!

Just trying to give him some options.

Is Union Transfer more of a concert hall or somewhere you can casually drink and take in a few songs?

It's more of a concert hall with bars, but they get some great acts and the sound is usually very good.

solid list.

If you are the active sort, i'd add if you like hikes check out Fairmount park/Wissahickon. if you want to bike - get a bike at boathouse row and ride on kelly drive, and/or the tow path in Manayunk and/or the forbidden drive in Wissahickon.

UBI, day to day.
- BiggE


Day 1: "Wayne sustained a UBI, he's currently day to day."
Day 3: "We discovered a hairline fracture, we're doing some scans to see if he'll need surgery."
Day 8: "After consulting with our team of physicians, Wayne Simmonds has actually been dead for well over a week. We'll update you when we know more."

Jim's steaks is the best. I've gotta make a trip down soon to see philly again. Maybe this spring so I can bring my 2.5 yr old daughter to see her favourite team!! Haha

This tells me that Giroux's will be flanked by, when healthy, Simmonds and Sanheim on his wings.
