[78-L] off topic - sandwich - Philly Hoagies and Cheesesteaks

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

Yes, I should have specified that the South Street places I had in mind 
specialized in cheesesteak sandwiches. I had one for the sake of 
curiosity. If I remember correctly, there was a nice restaurant across 
the street that had a huge salad bar and a separate cheese bar. I was 
in Philadelphia with my two daughters for July 4th 1981 and watched the 
fireworks near the museum steps We stayed at the Adams Mark hotel. 
During the ’80s, I used to visit Philadelphia on my drives back from 
New Jersey (I was living in Virginia at the time) and work my way 
through various restaurants. Since you live in Philadelphia you will 
appreciate this: I used to drive down the single-car alleys to avoid 
street traffic and try to get to the other end before another car 
turned into the alley coming my way.
