[@Bourgeoisie] Digging those unbearable puns. He's accepted.

Alright, for those who as aren't familiar with Philly as I am, here's a list of notable places, historical figures, and current people who might be showing up.

Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, etc.- These should need no introduction.

Valley Forge- George Washington's winter camp of 1777-1778. Famous as the symbol of suffering Colonial soldiers, though truth be told, the Continentals actually endured a worse winter the following year at Morristown, New Jersey.

Veterans Stadium- Dilapidated home of the Phillies and Eagles, scheduled for demolition in a couple of years. Notable for a Nevernever crossing into an ogre camp... and the ogres might be more hospitable than the mortals on the other side!

The Big Five universities: Temple, Villanova, St. Joseph's, Penn, and Drexel. Quality institutions all, but the economics and locales vary vastly between them, from the upper-crust grounds of 'Nova and Penn, to Temple, which is an admittedly well-manicured island in a sea of urban blight.

The Mutter Museum: A small, out of the way collection of medical oddities, often known for being THE creepiest spot in town. Who knows what sort of stuff lurks in their back rooms?

The Camden Aquarium: Actually located across the Delaware River in Camden, New Jersey, this is pretty much one of only two reasons to visit Camden, which is mostly ghetto on the level of Compton or Cabrini Green, with a deserved reputation to match.

The U.S.S. New Jersey- An Iowa Class battleship, The "Big J" is the other main attraction in Camden. In reality, she amazingly managed to serve throughout WWII without a single combat fatality. In this universe, though, she was badly battered at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in '43, and rumors persist of among the supernatural community of many ghosts still wandering her decks, protected from the sea and sun by layers and layers of steel...


Historical Personages: William Penn, founder of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Known for his all-around good treatment of the local Delaware Indians, and might have run into some spooks in his days with them.

Benjamin Franklin- Inventor, scientist, statesman, writer, and probably the greatest mind America has ever produced. No way he wasn't in the know.

George Meade and Winfield Scott Hancock- Both Civil War generals, famous for stopping Lee at Gettysburg. Maybe one of them came across something in the travels through the war?

Current Day personages: Mayor Juan Martinez: Philly's first Hispanic Mayor, Martinez is known for his success in turning around the city's poor schools. Unfortunately, the money for that had to come from somewhere, and the police department took some heavy cuts in the process.

Wilhelm Schmidt: The Red Court's top man in town, Schmidt is better-regarded than most vampires due to his somewhat less ruthless ways, though make no mistake, the bat's still dangerous. Just more refined about it.

Michael Skavis: Running local operations for the Whites, Skavis is top dog in the poorer parts of the city. He operates on the typical Skavis theory of "urban decay= free meals".

Antonio "Tiny Tony" Petrucci- in reality, the FBI and local cops teamed up to run the Mob out of Philly throughout the eighties, and barely a peep's been heard out of them in the quarter-century since. In our universe, federal focus on targets in New York, New Jersey and Vegas allowed the Philly branch of the Mafia to survive, though not without a few lumps. Antonio's the current kingpin, having inherited the position when his old man had a heart attack a couple of months ago, but a couple of jackals are looking hungrily at the new lion and all he commands. Some say he's a straight, others that he's clued in, and others still that he has a tiny amount of kinetomancy himself, but nobody's really sure.

Black Jenny: The most mysterious of Philly's power players, Black Jenny's name started showing up a year ago, as the go-to girl for all sorts of nasty ritual implements. Rumors about her true identity abound, but whether she's Black Court, a power-hungry sorceress, or something from the Nevernever, all agree on one thing: those who cross her have a tendency to never be seen again.
