I’ve been on lots of tours.
about as many days as you’ve called in sick.
so when I tell you the one I took today was the best one I’ve ever taken,
please believe me.
The Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia…
one of the best kept secrets in America.
Niagara Falls and this place – asked Charles Dickens about what was on his list, his first visit to America.
fascinating.
cold.
creepy.
and you’ve seen it before – both Brad and Bruce were admitted here in 12 Monkeys.
Vince and Joaquin served time in here for Return To Paradise.
Al Capone stayed for 8 months and Steve Buscemi narrates it.
I’d tell you about my battery immediately dying in some rooms, but you wouldn’t believe me.
all I ask is that you visit someday.
a day not too warm.
it needs to be cold.
or, at least, read about it.
’cause I didn’t before I visited.
and I’m going to have to head back in a few days.
or you could sit right there and check out a few snaps I took.
but all three would be ideal.
so good.

I love this tour! It’s unique. As both a tourism representative and just a regular old citizen of Philly, I love sending people here.
amazing, isn’t it?
good site, btw – wish I would have seen it a few weeks ago!
