I went to college outside of Philly but didn't really get to know the place, which was my bad. I gather there's lots of decent in-city neighborhoods, and public transportation in general is decent.

I lived for two months in the Central City part of Philly about 5 years back. The cheesesteaks are better in the neighborhood places than on the tourist strip on South Street.

I went to school in Allentown - not in the city much. The 'burbs can be pretty conventional. But from what I remember the city had more room for the unconventional. ( and the concept of haveing a look is not like it is in LA - neat and presentable counts more than size or glamour )

Philly has its points - but when I was in college it wasn't a good place to be a woman alone. Not danger-wise, but just in creepy guy-wise. Guys yelling inappropriate comments out of car windows and people on the street glaring at you. Guy trailing along behind me trying to get me to talk to him.

But that was many years ago and things may have changed.

Now I want a cheesesteak. My friends aways got them FOKET (written like that on the foil wrapper - fried onions, ketchup) but I like just ketchup. There was a local place that delivered to my college.

No non-philly place I have ever had a cheesesteak has gotten the bread right. Most of them get the cheese wrong, too, which, how?

No non-philly place I have ever had a cheesesteak has gotten the bread right.

We have a cheesesteak place in SF that imports its bread from Philly for just this issue.

On Food Network, I saw a Chicago-theme restaurant that Joe Montegna runs in Burbank featured, and he pointed out that all of his hotdogs are Vienna Beef, and the Italian Beef bread is as close to Turano Bakery as he could get in SoCal.

Kat (or anyone else who might know)...

Is the illustrator Christopher Myers (who is also the author of Black Cat) the son of Walter Dean Myers (author of many children's and YA books)? I notice CM has illustrated some of WDM's books.

eta...

Never mind. It looks like he is. I must have used bad search terms at first.

Resume question:

How do I write that I designed a logo for Tim's production company and proof scripts? Where would that even go? I'm not employed by him, just something nice I do/did for a friend, but it sounds too fancy to leave off, right?

Where does it go? How would i descibe it?

I would put it under a special skills or projects heading. You could put various things that were more individual projects/special cases.
