Royal Philly

I see that my old hometown has given a warm and gracious welcome to Big Ears and Frumpy (aka the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall). I hope they had a grand time. Did they get to have any cheese steaks or Tastykakes?

The Prince is known for his green ambitions, even if he does fly a great deal, and that was apparently welcomed in the City of Brotherly Love but nonetheless buried in a British article about the visit I did find this lovely quote from a Philly area native, one Walt Kennie:

"You can drive small cars over there in Europe if you like. We're gonna keep driving the big ones. This is America. More is more."

Oh my. Do you reckon he might be Republican by any chance?
