FYI: City of Philadelphia Health Report -- Restaurants

For your information and use, below is a link to the Philadelphia Restaurant periodic inspection results for the years 2004 and 2005.

http://www.phila.gov/health/units/ehs/Restaurant_Inspectio.html

Philadelphia (Environmental Health Services) posted food inspections online for the first time on May 19, 2006. However, please note that the nation's 10 largest cities inspect restaurants for health violations at least once a year and usually more often -- except Philadelphia. In addition, almost all have laws requiring a minimum number of inspections, some as often as four times per year. Philadelphia does not!!

Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers -- National Constitution Center

On Thursday, May 25, we attended a pre-show reception for the new exhibit at the National Constitution Center: Sports -- Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers. It focuses on 35 athletes and their performances in 17 different sports. It includes issues as women's changing roles, racial and ethnic integration, the emergence of sports celebrities and superstars, nationalism, perception about human physical limitations and technological breakthroughs that enhanced performance and participation.

Also, there is a tribute to Philly heroes who have made a difference in the local sports community. It includes a variety of artifacts, images, and memorabilia from some of the people in Philly sports history.

I heartily recommend this exhibit. You will be rewarded by seeing, among other things, Abraham Lincoln's handball from the 1850s.
