[Magdalen] Trip to Philly

[Charles Wohlers]

Yeadon (pronounced "Yay-d'n") is just outside Philly the the southwest in 
Chester Co., on the Baltimore Pike (US 13). My recommendation is to visit 
the Museum of Art (of Rocky fame - but you don't have to jog there). If the 
Phila. Orch. is playing at the Academy of Music, check that out. Christopher 
Hart I'm sure will know much more than I, who hasn't lived in Philly since 
grad school days, many years ago - when nosebleed tix to the Academy of 
Music were $2 each.

I think a couple of you are be in the Philadelphia area and could give me
some information.  I'm coming up for an ordination on the 10th.  It will be
at the Cathedral, and then the ordinand's first Eucharistic celebration
will be the next morning at his parish in Yeadon. The church is about 12
minutes from the cathedral.

Is there a reasonably-priced place to stay that's not too far away? There
is a block of rooms reserved at the Sheraton, but that's way too
expensive.  I figure I'll probably have to stay somewhere outside the city
and drive in, which is fine, but I don't know where to begin.  Haven't
found Yeadon on the map yet...

Also, given the fact that I'll be free from early afternoon on the 10th
until church the next morning, what could I see in that period of time?  I
really don't know Philly at all...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Grace
