Handy map of Center City Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is in the upper left pocket. A wonderful walking city, with plenty of mass transit options included. I lived in the Washington Square area for a year, back in the 1990s. Loved it!

There's only one really good art museum in New Orleans. I've been a number of times but it's been a while. I need to get back to it, see what is new.

It's been so long since I have been to a museum (well, except the one I work at, of course). Time for me to descend upon an art museum!

I was stationed down at the Navy Yards in south Philly. I liked LSD and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This was of course well before they allowed a movie company to put a "Rocky" statue front and center which I understand has been moved a bit. I always liked Philadelphia and the East, perhaps one day I will go and see the changes, just for want of a good cheese steak.
