I'm in phili for six weeks working for foodplay. Anybody live here and want to hang out?
have any suggestions for cool things to check out?
anything?

go to the Mutter Museum, it's very close to downtown and is run by the local College of Physicians & Surgeons. They have quite an assortment of historical medical oddities, things floating in brine and plaster casts of the original three ball jugglers and siamese twins, Chang & Eng. C & E apparently married sisters and between them sired many offspring - it's cheap and a great diversion. You absolutely must go to the Rodin museum, they have some great pieces - admission by donation and it's been deserted every time I go there (every 2 years). Everybody seems to skip this to go do the Rocky run up the steps at the Philly Museum which is right around the corner - the Rodin is vastly superior unless there's a touring show that rocks - and depending where your tastes in art run.

Jim posted a link to the burning town outside of Philly a few years ago when I first started going there, it may be in the archives but I doubt it - I'm still determined to get there next trip.

The White Dog bar/cafe next to UPenn is a good hang for baiting students about not protesting anything, but that's not for everyone.

good luck

maybe too obvious?

In my opinion (from recordings), Philly has one of the best orchestras there is. If you get a chance to see them I would love to hear about it!
