Another visit to Philadelphia and environs . . .

Dinner at Rib Rack in Northeast Philadelphia:

Rib Rack, 2100 Tyson Avenue, Northeast Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dessert — radioballs (Jen wants to know when the local name “radioball” turned into “gelati”) at Custard’s Last Stand nearby:

To Bethlehem to see the Bethlehem Steel site and the new Sands Casino:

Another Phillies game, just before the team went on its huge winning streak before the All-Star Break . . . finally getting video of the Fan Warning after the end of the first inning (although you can’t hear it as well as I’d hoped — maybe try again later):

(Now I have video of that, the SEPTA subway race, the national anthem and the home run-signaling Liberty Bell ringing . . .)

Then dinner at James on 8th (recommended!):

Stinging Nettle Tortelli, James, 824 South 8th Street, Bella Vista, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We missed the train back home from Suburban Station, so we walked across the John F. Kennedy Boulevard Bridge to 30th Street Station to kill time:
