[PRCo] Chestnut St.

[Pepa Kalousek]

I would like to spend two or possibly three weeks at the US northeast -
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and some museums in that area. I have some friends
over there, but haven't seen them yet. I have planned also to visit some
derelict Pittsburgh streetcar tracks. Fred III. seems to be a willing
volunteer.
