I had passed it many times as a youth, riding the ’33’ trolley with my father and grandfather on our way to watch either the Phillies or the A’s at Shibe Park (after ’53, Connie Mack Stadium) at 22nd and Lehigh in north Philly. We took the same public transportation back to center city after the game to meet my mother and grandmother for supper at the Horn & Hardart ‘Automat’ and the return trip to Allentown.
I also graciously accept free Philly steaks at either Pat’s or Geno’s, although Geno’s owner, Joey Vento, (prior to his passing in 2011) was very popular with the Philadelphia law enforcement community for his strong support.

Also nice shot of the USS Constellation in Baltimore harbor.
That looked like a great trip!
