Sightseeing in Philadelphia

  - Anthony Bourdain (RIP)
"The Grim Philly Tour is just my speed, a romp through the seedy vermin infested underside of our nation's heritage, oh yeah! Our guide  takes us to  Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and all that. But, quickly gets down and dirty with what you wanna hear; about all the drinking, carousing, and whore-mongering our founding father's were doin. And, the fine woman they were doin it with."
