The only thing is that that tourist market is called Reading Terminal Market, but I don't think that it's that well known of a site. If it wasn't a place my brother sometimes went to when I came to visit, I wouldn't have heard of it.

Coryat: 45,000
50 R/1 W
DD: 3/3
FJ: :mrgreen:
LT: electricity (DD), Lafayette, Iraq, Sweden, Monday Night Football, subtext, Mobile, C.S. Lewis

I was surprised to see the writers mess up by writing 7/22 rather than 22/7.

Count me as another who negged with Pennsylvania Railroad rather than Reading Railroad.

That Nursery Rhymes category was extremely obscure.

The "hardest" ones were based on the rhymes. I never heard that last nursery rhyme, but I've heard some limericks, so I had no problem coming up with Kilkenny...

If he had said "been" as "bean", then I might have gotten "queen". That's almost bad as "fore'ead" / "horrid" IMO.
