Well, how does a Greyhound Bus Tour of Philadelphia sound... I hear they make stops at The Liberty Bell AND The Betsy Ross House!

Just to see the record straight for those who may not know:
There is NOT, have NEVER been, and will PROBABLY NEVER be an Arch Street Theater in Philadelphia.
Philly DOES have an Arch Street, however.

Matt,
I NEVER heard of that Chinatown tour, but its YOUR Prize--and if that's what you want, I say GO FOR IT!
I can even reccomend a MARVELOUS restaurant in Philly's Chinatown--Sang Kee!!!
Give the City of Brothery Love a hug from me, Matt!

Magruder,
THANKS for joggling my tired old brain!
If memory serves, the theater was torn down [in 1936--as the Link you directed to us indicates] so the Broad Street Subway could be extended.

Yet ANOTHER Point of Interest--
The Broad Street Station (Act II, Scene 4 of 42ND STREET--where "Lullaby of Broadway" is sung) WAS standing in 1933 (year show was set) but was ALSO demoilished--in the 1950s.
