My brother is going to Philly next month and wondered if there was anything going on that he should see...I thought I would ask here just in case anyone knows of anything special...

Thanks in advance...

I always loved the Rodin Museum...it has the largest collection of his works outside of the Rodin Museum in Paris.

Is Rodin related to Maltise?

There's a special Ben Franklin exhibition going on at the Consitution Center. I think it's still there for another month or so. I never made it when I was there, but I hear it's good if you're into the period.

I think the flower show is about to end, but there's always something at the Kimmel Center. Sorry I'm being so unspecific; I haven't been to Philly in a couple of weeks and won't have time to go again for a while. There are a ton of Ben Franklin things going on this year for his 300th birthday.

I hear Body Worlds is cool. It's an exhibit of dead people's body parts. Sounds interesting.

Liotte, Rodin is not related to Maltise. Rodin is related to Rodan, star of Japanese monster movies.

There is the Eastern Penitentiary that you can tour, or the Art museum, and Edgar Allen Poe's house.

I would HIGHLY recommend the BodyWorlds exhibit at Franklin Institute. If he goes, hes gotta walk through the human heart too!! Dreamgirls closed a couple of weeks ago. A night out in Olde City is always fun. I'll look around and see what's going on in a few weeks and let you know!!

I wouldn't really recommend the Eastern State Penitentiary. While it's interesting, I think there are better things you can do.

I know that a new play will be playing at the Walnut Street Theatre, called "trying."


This has pretty much all there is to do in Philly.

Thank you all for your help. Who knew? Now I only wish I could go with him!

Sueleen, is your brother gay? Is he cute? Is he attracted to men who eat them for lunch and spit them out? I'd love to show him my city.

Yes. Yes. Yes. And not on your life.
