When we opened Abbraccio Restaurant, a local real estate person (not anyone regularly involved on this list) said we should NEVER refer to our place as being part of West Philadelphia! Considering that the distance from us to the heart of the Drexel campus is about the same distance to Cobbs Creek Parkway and most of Southwest Philly, I found this just a little bit strange. Our customers come from all over this range. Nowadays we much prefer to call ourselves a "West Philly" place. (Although I do like Lew's "Western Liberties" also). Roger
Interesting. I regard Abbraccio as sort of like the Hotel California in the old Eagles song -- "You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave." Ever since I first dined at Abbraccio, I have this vague feeling that I've left a part of me behind. And I mean that in a good way, of course. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org/abbraccioreading1.html
