Is this where I make some kind of Barry Levinson reference?

I was raised in a PHILLY teams house, if you were anything else you keep it qiuiet,My dad took me to a Eagles game when i was 5 (1980) and i met Ron The Jaws Jaworski and he signed and gave me his practice jersey,When i turned 18 He wound up being my first boss,and a great man to work for,that's why i was a philly fan, I have had seasosns tickets every since with my daddy.True fans love thier team win or lose...

I've never seen so many flat screens and leather recliners in ONE PLACE in my life.

Do they have an outside area there? I think (THINK) I had a drink there outside once.... but it was just to tide me over to get from Hooters to Fells Point.

Oh, the only other possible thing I can think of going for Baltimore.... the series The Wire that was on HBO.

Best show EVER on television. (yes, a smidge better than Sopranos...a smidge....can't believe I just said that. Forgive me Paulie Walnuts!)

I agree - around here it's not the Philly "bandwagon." You grew up around here, you were probably a Philly fan(atic!) and that's all there was to it. It's the way the area and it's sports teams (or lack thereof) evolved, that's all. It's just implied. People moving here and switching teams.. well. I can't speak for them, but I can't say I blame them.

That's about it, but at least it's something.

There's a Cheesecake Factory in King of Prussia....I won't mention the aquarium across the river...

Hey, she didn't say it was the ONLY aquarium available to us. She was just pointing out that Baltimore DOES have a redeeming feature.

I beg to differ.

Homicide: Life on the Street.

The original Baltimore cop show.

Once they took out Hammerjacks, I couldn't think of a non-business reason to go to Baltimore. Unless for a side-stop at one of the following:

Angelina's Crabcakes
800-272-2225

Lisa Anne's Toffee Apples
800-959-4111

Kichmeyer's Chocolates
877-867-6851

Green is putting your tickets in your will....lol....that was a banner at the Eagles game last night...i was crackin up, but it's true

Ang's aunt has season tix to the Phils...eagles are like what, 8 year waiting list for season tix?

And of course, Philly has Harry Kalas

O and Angela's dad is a very accomplished pianist, he was taught be the famous philly organist Paul Richardson

Exactly. And, having visited both aquariums, I find that, while the Adventure Aquarium in Camden has wonderful "adventures" such as swimming with the sharks, feeding the hippos, and others, available to the public and has an awesome and very personable staff, the National Aquarium in Baltimore is laid out better and is far more appealing. To me, at least.

Your mileage may vary.

Oh, and I would go to King of Prussia only if carjacked and forced to do so at knifepoint.

Why not 'Ravens' and 'Orioles'???
