6 August 2010: Trolley Car Diner Take Two

Another trip to the Trolley Car Diner and more photos. There was a new mural this year which was pretty cool. We sat at the counter for breakfast this year. You can see it here from the photo I took last year: http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2009/06/26-june-2009-photo-trolley-car-diner.html
This year Bridget tried scrapple - it didn't look very appetizing!

4 August 2010: Doggie Style

This building has all of your dog need covered...hungry for a hot dog - go to "Yo Dogs" or if you need some dog grooming - hit up "Groomingdales". One of my colleagues spotted this photo op last year and I finally stopped to take the picture.

This morning we headed to the Trolley Car Diner for breakfast to give my West Coast friend the East Coast diner experience. This diner was in Chestnut Hill, PA and we celebrated our last day of meetings for the week.

Microbrews have been all the rage for several years now. My friend Kelly's husband works for one of these microbreweries in PA. While I am not a beer drinker, my colleagues certainly enjoyed the wares that she brought with her to Glenside this week. Check out the many different types of beer that Weyerbacher brews here http://www.weyerbacher.com. Try one if you see them around!

21 June 2009 Photo: Mr Potato Head Is Old

It is Retreat Week for my job. Once a year, my colleagues from all over the U.S. come together for a week in Glenside, PA to discuss topics, address issues, regroup and get ready for the next year. We stay in nearby Chestnut Hill which is a quaint neighborhood in suburban Philly. This toy store is just up the road from our hotel and I was attracted by Mr Potato Head in the window. Did you know Mr Potato Head is almost 60? I remember many a day spent in the toy store in my hometown...what more could a kid want (well, other than money to buy all the toys)?
