Yes, the Reading Terminal is a dream come true. So you were part of the renovations. I remember that. I also remember when trains actually went overhead.
I had a huge blast of nostalgia a few months ago. I went to see a movie at the Ritz and they were showing pics of Philadelphia from about 100 years ago to present and they showed the Bubble Gum Lady who used to stand on the corner of 13th and Filbert St. outside the terminal. The one with the outlandish outfits and the straw hats who sold pieces of gum. What an amazing spirit. She might already have passed away at the time you were there. I know it was before the convention center was built. You don't by any chance recall her, do you? :hi:
