    Ok where's a good hotel to stay in Philly?
    Cousin is coming in and never been so we want to spend a day there. So what are the best places to hit, where to stay?
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    We stayed at the Hilton Doubletree on Broad Street last Columbus Day weekend.  Price was reasonable and it was in easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see.

    I'd recommend getting a hotel in Old City. If you're spending a day there other than show day, definitely check out the Barnes foundation. Eat at Suraya for dinner. Make a reservation.

    I’m in GA or Seats

    question is do they add a show here?

    presume Apollo will be 9/10 (but hope that they do that before Quebec and add another MSG) buy they could still add Camden 9/13 too…fingers crossed 
    There's no presuming, Apollo was listed as the 10th on the Ticketmaster blog and I have heard from others in the know that the date is correct.

    I doubt they add a Camden show, but that's just me.

    In for GA or seats. Haven't been to a Camden PJ show since 2003, which featured probably the best version of Baba I've ever seen them play.

    I did the tour of the Mint before, and it was really cool, and its free.

    Never been to this venue before. Any advice about parking? I don’t care about the price , I want convenience and a quick escape.

    Also it's that time where I enjoy offering help to any non-Philly-area peeps coming to my great city (not Camden). If anyone needs recs, ideas, or plain old help of any kind, when you're here - or in advance - feel free to reach out!

    There is a parking lot right near the venue, behind the Sixers training facility. Easy in / easy out, but it was $50 last time I was there which was in Sept 2019

    the escape outa there is a pain in the ass.  prepare to sit for a bit funneling out to the bridge or 676. or beat the rush out.  parking there is, or always was, lots all over the place, some across the street from the venue, some further away.  and they used to be full of nitrous balloons.  lets hope nothing changed. but you will see lots all over the place.

    Word to the wise - not sure if Uber/Lyft has fixed this. But I was stuck in Camden after a show and drivers kept cancelling on me because they didn't want to go over the bridge (in either direction).

    I feel like I already know the city inside and out from Parking Wars.

    Never been as an adult. Seemed like a good excuse to see the city. In a magical fantasy world, swap the second ticket for any seat in MSG.

    What a show. I would fully appreciate if you did a strict "This Was On Parking Wars"-only tour of the city (**takes picture with permit parking sign on South Street** "This is where that guy yelled 'that's not fair!"

    Well, enjoy! Feel free to shoot a DM if you need anything.

    I look forward to anyone new coming here going one of two ways in their judgment of this place: 1)fucking HATE it 2) fucking LOVE it. There's no in between.
