My thought exactly! Take him a variety of Tasty Kake treats! No need to worry about transporting. They have a shelf life of about a century, I think. . .

Excellent idea. I'm gonna head over there in the next week.

That's something you can get ME! I'm an avid fan of "Old Imagines Of Philadelphia" on Facebook. I think Louie would like a coffee table book of photos of current Philly. Sorta like "A Day In The Life Of Philadelphia."

Not a bad idea. Take it rolled up and have it framed while I'm down there.

South Philly. For a while he worked at Bob & Barbara's on South Street!
