Finally at Philadelphia Park

Not saying you can't have a good time with the right people and the right frame of mind, just saying that there are other options close by, like Delaware Park, that are just much more pleasant in terms of ambiance.

Plus, you might like Philly a lot less now that the slots have crowded out the facilities for horseplayers. It's like being forced to sit at the kiddies table at Thanksgiving dinner.
