Had to make a quick overnight trip to Philadelphia last week for work.  I've never been extremely fond of that city.  It's probably because I've had a few bad experiences there in my directly post-college years and after.  But I also never stayed in a hotel that looked out at the City Hall clock before either.  Back then, I was young and poor and mostly slept on other people's couches.  So this was kind of a treat.


As was it to wake up the next morning and see the city in the rain, which is quite beautiful, even I have to admit.


OK, Philly, I might give you a second chance.
