While reading through the Philadelphia Inquirer, I saw a many interesting things that caught my attention. A large portion of this was related to how the recent government shutdown will affect the economy if it lasts much longer than a few days. From that idea, I followed this trail:

1. The article on A1 entitled "U.S. Parks would close, drying up tourist cash flow." This led me to thinking about the national parks in the city of Philadelphia, namely the Independence National Historic Park.

2. I did a google search on Independence National Historic Park and found a walking tour of the park:

3. At the bottom of the page I saw a link to the neighborhoods of Philadelphia:

http://philadelphia.about.com/od/neighborhoods/Neighborhoods.htm

4. I looked through a few of the neighborhoods, starting with Old City:

5. As I continued to look, Queen Village caught my eye as well:

I found two places that I'm interested in going. Here is my "breadcrumbs".

1. Philadelphia Inquirer B1: "Today in Philly-Suspension of Time"

2. Google "Jessica Demcsak Suspension of Time"

https://www.google.com.hk/search?newwindow=1&safe=strict&es_sm=122&q=Jessica+Demcsak+Suspension+of+Time&oq=Jessica+Demcsak+Suspension+of+Time&gs_l=serp.3...30661.30661.0.31302.1.1.0.0.0.0.86.86.1.1.0....0...1c.1.27.serp..1.0.0.z5VnZdBvmAQ

3. Go to "philly.com"

http://www.philly.com/philly/health/calendar/?search=y&city=Philadelphia&section&page=5&sortBy=date

4. click on "entertainment", then "art attack"

1. Read the food coupons. Hmm, I wouldn't mind going for some food.

2. Google search for best food in Philly. End up on Yelp. http://www.yelp.com/c/philadelphia/food

3. Not all of the top listed are sit-in restaurants. Check in on a couple, change mind, change setting to Ethnic restaurants. http://www.yelp.com/c/philadelphia/ethnicmarkets

4. The top listed ethnic restaurants aren't foods I particularly like. Discover how to add search terms, and look for Thai. http://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=ethnicmarkets&find_loc=Philadelphia%2C+PA%2C+USA#find_desc=thai+food&cflt

5. Realize that, although I love Thai, I had Thai a couple weeks ago and I haven't had Spanish since April. Change search to tapas bars. http://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=ethnicmarkets&find_loc=Philadelphia%2C+PA%2C+USA#find_desc=tapas&cflt

6. Check out the website of the top listed tapas bar in Philadelphia. It's reasonably priced (for tapas), and right near a Metro stop. Also, it serves Manchego. http://philadelphia.amadarestaurant.com/menu

Therefore, I propose to go visit Amada and have tapas.

1. Saw the title “Bunny Bunny, a Tale of Two BBFs ”

 2. It reminds me of my bunny at home.

 3.I searched “Animal Philadelphia” and find this link.

 4. I haven’t seen any animal shelter yet, and I want to know how those homeless animals are treated. Do they have enough space to play? Are they in cadge all the time?

 5.Hey you want to care about those homeless animals? Meow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 N. 2nd Street (at Arch)
Philadelphia, PA 19106:))))))

1.     I found many funeral announcements.

2.     The announcement reminds me of a few weeks ago, when I walked on the street in Philly, I saw a church somewhere, and near the church is a cemetery.

3.     https://www.google.com/#q=philadelphia+cemetery I find many cemeteries.

Step 1:google "october philly events"

http://www.visitphilly.com/events/fall-events/

Step 2:go to fall events

http://www.visitphilly.com/philadelphia-neighborhoods/?utm_source=VISITPHILLY.COM&utm_medium=REFERRAL&utm_campaign=HOUSE-FORMATTED-BANNER

Step 3:go to night market

http://www.visitphilly.com/events/philadelphia/night-market-philadelphia/

Step 4: official website

http://thefoodtrust.org/night-market

I did see this event last time I was in chinatown, and when I googled the events going on in Philly this fall, it came out and brought my attention.but this isn't just a chinese celebration, it has food from all over the Asia, and also, it's the place we've already been to, but only during the day,so we can observe the difference of the "night market" and normal times.

I think it's worth-going because it's the last night narket of the year and they've been preparing for a long time,there's certainly something to expect.

1. Read Today in Philly in the Tuesday newspaper

2. Googled "Today in Philly"

3. Clicked on: http://www.philly.com/philly/calendar/

4.Went to events on Friday and so fall themed events:

5. Googled Philly ghost tour

6. Clicked on http://www.ghosttour.com/philadelphia.html

Haunted tour by candlelight!!

$17 tour, $15 if you order in advance 

So what caught my attention was

Stop 1: Out of Time - U.S. Parks would close, drying up tourist cash flow

Stop 2: What exactly is gonna happen with the government shut down?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/30/us-usa-fiscal-factbox-idUSBRE98T0KO20130930

Stop 3: I love national parks!

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/10/01/philadelphia-national-parks-closed-as-a-result-of-government-shut-down/

Stop 4: So old city is basically closed?

http://philadelphia.about.com/od/history/tp/top_10_historic_philadelphia.htm

Stop 5: I remember Elfreth’s Alley being mentioned in my Urban Culture and Society class

http://www.elfrethsalley.org

Stop 6: http://www.elfrethsalley.org/visiting

$5 for a tour.  I can swing that. And it's easy to get to with train/subway. I’m going to stop here.

1. Oh look Congress is shutting down the government...what else is new? Let's see what's affected in Philly...

2. Went here and found a nice little list of 12 things that will be closed. But also a list of 14 things that are open.

3. Clicked on this and noticed that you got to dress up in Supreme Court Robes...sign me up!

4. Noticed that it cost $20...cross me off the list! But there was also information about the neighborhood it was located in.

5. Hey look Old City! What's there? This.

And you can get there via train and subway. An exciting adventure indeed.
