Enjoy it Brian. Its a rather normal suburb by all appearances. Stop at Big JOhn’s on Route 70 for a cheesesteak if you can. I know what is going on there are as most of my friends still live in that area and I visit 1 or 2 x’s a year. One of my friends ran for (and lost) Mayor.
UPenn is actually getting better as they spread their reach into West Philly and clean things up around there. The only thing worse is that Koch’s Deli probably isnt there anymore (one of the brothers died). Asked your brother, if he went to Penn he will know about Koch’s.
