Six Pictures: Reading Terminal Market

Four months living in Philadelphia hotels was dramatically improved by the Reading Terminal Market. Since 1892 it has been a huge indoor public market, bringing together food vendors from across the spectrum of taste at low, low prices. Inspired, I ate fresh and well daily, and occasionally took a few pictures.

As blogged over at the mothership, on September 9, I attended the USA vs. Brazil friendly football match. The on-field action was scintillating, but the crowds were just as entertaining.
