This. It's a cute reference for those in the know and a glitzy backdrop for the rest of middle america who doesn't understand the background. I swear we are the dumping ground for asperger's patients sometimes.

I can now see why traffic in the Philly section in CD has dropped dramatically.

You two ever heard of a farce? Or relaxation?

Funny that a gecko selling insurance would tie into a restaurant best suited to tourists - who if they know what's best for them would take public transportation rather than drive in Philadelphia - and drunks looking for whatever food they can find in the early morning hours.

I was going to say-- do Philadelphians even eat at Pat's and Geno's??? Personally I don't, and I don't even live there (yet).

2-6am, drunk beyond belief. That was the only way we ever went to either of those two. Even then we would comment on how bad we thought the "food" was.

Oh that's awesome. I always loved the little gecko and it's like a dream to see it in my city. Just wish they hadn't have used Geno's. LOL
