Gritty's Philadelphia Fun Suggestions for the Reapers [1/2]

Philadelphia - The Best City on Earth

 

As everyone knows, the VHL decided to add the best city in the world to the league when the Philadelphia Reapers expansion team was added to the VHLM. Being a major Philadelphia fan, Gritty was very excited to see the team's arrival, and was disappointed he wasn't created a year later so he could play for Philly. However, since Gritty hails from Philly he has some great suggestions for ways members of the Philadelphia Reapers can have fun in their home city.

 

Go to a Flyers or Phillies Game

 

If members of the reapers want to see the best mascot who ever lived, they can attend a Philadelphia Flyers game at the Wells Fargo Center. Additionally, Reapers GM @BladeMaiden can use it as a great teaching moment for her players, as they can watch Andrew MacDonald and Robert Hagg fail at playing defense, and learn what kinds of mistakes they need to avoid in order to be successful in the VHL. If members of the Reapers want to see the world's 2nd best mascot and Gritty's best friend, they can go to a Phillies game to see the Philly Phanatic. There is also some guy named Bryce Harper who is a pretty big attraction at Citizen's Bank Park as well.

 

Get in a Workout at the Philadelphia Art Museum

 

Everyone loves Rocky, as his hard work and determination is an inspiration to us all. Who doesn't want to replicate the scene where he runs up the stairs of the art museum and celebrates? The Reapers could even make it into a team conditioning exercise, and run stairs over and over again to work off the Philly cheesesteak they will be eating later in the day. 

 

Get the Best Cheesesteak in the World at John's Roast Pork

 

Many people who haven't been to Philadelphia just go to the tourist traps in Pats or Genos, and that is not where to go to get your authentic Philly Cheesesteak. You wouldn't think a place with Roast Pork in it's name would have the best cheesesteaks, but there is a reason why this tiny restaurant always has a really long line. The meat is really good, and they pack a ton of it into your cheesesteak for a reasonable price.

 

Celebrate the Founding of Murica

 

Philadelphia has a ton of history, as it was actually the nation's capital for about 10 years. If the Reapers are ready to get their patriotism on, they can visit the liberty bell and appreciate wrecking those naughty Brits in two wars. Down the street from the Liberty Bell is the Constitutional Convention Center,  which is where the U.S. constitution was crafted and then the ideas copied by many other democracies around the globe. They can also visit Independence Hall, which is where the Declaration of Independence was signed by all those important dudes.

Review: I am very impressed with your level of creativeness with this article. Very unique and I like how you added in a bit of parts regarding the VHL/Reapers organization. I feel it flowed very well but some photos of the attractions would take this PT to the next level!

 

Amazing job!
