A few times a year I venture into South Philly to shop at the "Italian Markets" on 9th Street. Today they are more accurately called the "Ninth Street Markets" due to their multi-cultural influences. Visit the Markets' website at http://www.phillyitalianmarket.com/

After I finished my shopping, I went southward from the markets into other parts of South Philly, stopping at the Termini Pastry Shop & Tony Luke's Sandwich Shop, and finally ending up at the new Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. The Phils were out of town today, but you will see some interesting photos from outside the new ballpark.
