[PRCo] Re: Thanksgiving Weekend Hobby Show

[Schneider Fred]

I suggested he ride the el and the P&W to Villanova, walk across  
campus, then take the Paoli local to Paoli and then get his train to  
Greensburg.

One should never overlook the art museum either ... a short taxi ride  
from the train station.

And then there are all those places that the Daughters of the  
American Revolution would want you to see ... Independence Hall, the  
First Bank, the Second Bank, Elfreth's Alley, some of the old  
churches, Betsy Ross's house on Arch Street, and the Valley Forge  
National Park but he needs to save all that for another day.
