| If you've got any young children buy them a completely new wardrobe full of clothes at Strawbridge and Clothier (assuming they are still there and its still a fantastic kids-cloth-department-store).They seemed to have days where you could get a voucher for some stupendous discount. (I expect that's an All American Marketing thingie, but it seemed pretty generous to a tourist like me!)Kristen |

Ha ha Kristen, you sure know how to get a smile on someone.Hey foods always a good thing you know :-).I just booked my room and although Hampton Inn isn't the greatest hotel I got a bargain deal. They upgraded my regular room to a royal suite room with a whirlpool spa!!! Said they were booked for the regular rooms and that they would honor the SAP rate price of 109 / night. Not that I would of minded the regular rooms, but hey I'll take it if its the same price.I was playing with Yahoo local service and boy is that pretty sweet when you want to find local restaraunts. I'll dig around, thanks for the info folks.Programmers HowTo's -- [url]http://jhermiz.googlepages.com[/url] |

It's not Strawbridge and Clothier anymore. They were bought out by Macy's.If you are into shopping, you can check out the King of Prussia mall; they have about 400-500 stores (or something like that).CODO ERGO SUM |

Fellini's Cafe is a great Italian restaurant in Newtown Square, very close to SAP. It's a great spot for lunch with very reasonable prices. About 20 kinds of pizza and 50 pasta dishes. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. http://philadelphia.citysearch.com/review/8937591/CODO ERGO SUM |

It's about the same kind of store; not much really changed, except for the name. Macy's is a big name in department stores in the US.CODO ERGO SUM |
