Thanks for visiting my Guides to Villanova/Rosemont/Philadelphia Main Line and the compendium of Philadelphia-based Guides.

It is a shame to pass by this magic shop without your child, as adults are entertained as soon as they enter this majestic shop, which is a hidden treasure on the bottom level of Pike Place Market. Pick up a few magic books and learn a few magic tricks, and your kiddie will forget that you were out of town in no time.

This popular jazz venue is high class, but you don’t have to be dressed up to enjoy the blues. Skip the dinner and enjoy a cocktail and the music. Hint: Bring cash for a quick exit during bill time.

Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest region, and despite a reputation for rain, this city offers a hot list of activities and sites not to be missed.
Seattle is located between an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, which is called Puget Sound, and Lake Washington, and on a clear day you will be captivated with the visual presence of Mr. Rainier to the South, and the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges to the West and East.
