Re: Veri Fi SnubWay......don't listen to music, experience it!
I'm starting a new thread on the Snub Way. Been in touch with Mark and he is making available a unit for a Polkie Road Test.

Re: Steely Dan AJA Best vinyl version..
For multiple reasons, I'm guessing this picture is NOT truly Scott'sThis is the best version of any Steely Dan album.

Good looking kit... My Titanic model is detailed with rust from the real ship. It sits on a base made from wood decking and trim from her sister, the Olympic.

Is that SnubWay in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Re: Something our grandkids won’t believe we had/did?
^^^ Ours were kind of similar to this one. Pretty crude.
As a 10 year old in 1965, I remember finding scrap lumber, old wagon and tricycle wheels, nails, screws, misc. bolts and some rope for steering your unpowered go-kart. The neighborhood boys would race them down a less-trafficked hilly side street. For many of us this was our first foray into tools and assembly skills. It was fun, kept us busy, but could be frustrating for a kid at times.

Re: World Cafe Live - Philadelphia
OK, so, I haven't been there in a real long time but IIRC, it was called something else for a while before it became World Cafe Live. It had something to do with the WXPN radio station that it was a part of back then. I think Comcast manages it now which is why it's got the "Live" moniker. Everything in the city with "Live" in the name seems to have a Comcast connection.
Anyway, that doesn't detract from it at all. It's a small, intimate setting and while it's not like The TLA (think MTV Unplugged sessions kind of stage) where the stage is pretty much in the center and there's only 1 level of seating for a very intimate venue it is intimate. Intimate like when I went to see Norah Jones and sneezed in the middle of her talking and she pointed at me and said "Bless you, handsome!" and winked at me.
It's on or right next to U of Penn's campus in University City. That's a real nice part of city with several schools clustered there including U of Penn (Ivy League), Drexel (a top tech school in the country) and the famed Temple University with a half a dozen more smaller schools nearby.
If you have to stay in the area overnight, stay in University City, everything is very walkable with tons of restaurants and bars/taverns.
I'll go ahead and recommend The Study
https://www.thestudyatuniversitycity.com/?
Swanky joint, good ratings and not too bad on price for the area
If you're only going to be in town for a night and need a bite to eat outside of the World Cafe then wander over to The New Deck Tavern
https://www.newdecktavern.com/
College bar, stellar food, can be hard to get in to so reservations are recommended if you're sitting down. But that's where my database professor in college would have our final reviews my senior year.
There's a ton to do in Philly if you're staying for a weekend too.
But one thing I do know for sure is that I've been to almost every concert venue in Philly, big and small and none of them are bad. You'll have a great experience no matter what show you go to there.
