From Reading Terminal we will head to Olde City north of Market and explore the streets and alleyways going south. We will try to stay in alleys as we pass near Independence Hall and Society Hill. Eventually we make it to the Italian Market area, then find another interesting route back to Reading Terminal.

We will walk for 2.5-3 hours at a moderate pace covering 4-7 miles.

Meet outside the Down Home Diner at Reading Terminal at 10:45am. Google Map link.

The Reading Terminal website indicates that 2/3rds of the vendors are open till 4 pm Sunday. So, we have a great place to eat for 20 or so folks. We could go for a beer after that. I know a great round green couch I'd like to drink a beer on - Triumph Brewery.

Two days before event I usually email a weather report.
Please have your event payment in dollar bills. No coins, duploons, 5's 10's, or 20's. Thank you.

If you change your mind please change your RSVP. No-shows may be barred from my events. Email or call if you have a problem.
If the hike is full at the moment, then just check back a day or two before the hike. People always change plans.

  “ This meetup was great! Although I have lived in the Philadelphia area for most of my life, I don't believe I've ever taken an entire afternoon just walking around exploring our city. Not that I haven't admired countless beautiful views on my ways to and from! But, what a pleasure, not going A to B, but wandering, with an interesting and fun group of people. ”
