iam visiting philly for my 6th time come summer and i have not been to visit Franklin mills mall yet.I dont drive and would like to use public transport.
We will be staying in centre city.We use the buses when going to the other mall .Can anyone tell me where to get the bus and what changes if any we need to make .Also what number of bus
thankyou so much .
I have not made this trip, but it looks like you take a train up to the Frankford Transportation Center from the city center (see http://www.septa.org/maps/transit/mfl.html ), then you take one of several buses out to the mall (see under Public Transportation at http://www.simon.com/mall/travelandtourism.aspx?id=1245 ).
The Mall website doesn't indicate any other way of getting there (i.e., no direct bus from the city center)...

Take the Market Frankford Subway (aka the "Blue Line") to end of the line at Frankford Transportation Center. Then ride the #20 bus to Franklin Mills Mall. This pdf has all the info you need on the latter:
www.septa.org/schedules/bus/pdf/020.pdf
In general, if you go to this URL
www.septa.org/schedules/bus/index.html
and then do a search for a place close to where you want to go, you'll most likely find a route fairly quickly.
As always, great minds think (and answer) alike ;-)

This is THE place to go for cheesesteaks and Yuenling beer! Go in the summer time and sit out on the porch. The prices are reasonable & the food is awesome. I miss Fatty's!! Every time I've gone up there visiting friends I always make them stop by and let me indulge.
eat out. Philadelphia harbors some the most enticing, and varying dining atmospheres in the world. There are good places alll over the city, but i recommend old city and china town. Stay away from the Delaware Ave. club scene in the summer-too much of a scene if you know what i'm talking about. uhhh....nothing really fond about it
(Continuation from last tip - History)
Those Who Fought:
The American Revolution was both a civil war within British North America &, by 1778, part of a world war involving European powers. The British fought the war with an army of professional soldiers, lifetime recruits who were subject to strict military discipline. They also employed soldiers from German states & a large number of loyalists, American supporters of British rule who formed their own military units & fought against patriot forces.
The patriots, those favored independence, developed their own Continental Army, which consisted initially of New England militiamen besieging the British in Boston & then of soldiers supplied by various colonies. They also relied on local militia units, whose members served for short terms, and partisan forces, especially in the South.
The Marquis de Lafayette, Friedrich W.A. von Steuben, & other European officers made significant contributions to the patriot cause, as did French soldiers & sailors after 1778, especially in helping Washington's army trap Lord Cornwallis's large British force at Yorktown in 1781.
With an overall goal of slowing the advance of white settlement, American Indians were divided in their loyalties. Depending on local conditions, they joined the side they thought would favor their interests. Although Southerners opposed their use, some 5000 African Americans fought side by side with whites for the patriot cause & their own freedom; tens of thousands more enslaved African Americans sought freedom with the British forces. Consequences:
The end of the Revolutionary War brought independence for 13 American states.
Between 1776 & 1780, states wrote new constitutions or changed old charters to become republics. When the alliance of the states under the Articles of Confederation proved inadequate, a convention in 1787 produced the Constitution, which remains U.S. governmental framework.
The Constitution settled many issues & formed a stronger union of the states, but it also contained contradictions that would echo through history.
The Declaration of Independence's promise of human equality was at first narrowly applied, & the Constitution failed to end African-American slavery. In the English speaking world of 1787, few entertained the possibility that women possessed equal political or economic rights.
Much of American history after 1776 represents a struggle to extend full citizenship to white males without property, to people of color, and to women. For Indians, the formation of the United States only increased the flow of white settlers onto their lands & led to more clashes. An acknowledgment of the Revolution's deferred promises, however, should not blind us to its far-reaching effects.
In 1776 no other nation had a republican form of government, with all its powers grounded in the consent of the people.
Later revolutions in France, Hispaniola (now Haiti), & throughout Latin America drew inspiration from the American Revolution.
Once adopted by the United States, the ideals of liberty & self-government would have future effects never imagined by the original revolutionaries.

The Second Bank of the United States was designed by William Strickland - who was also responsible for the classical facade of the Philadelphia Exchange nearby. Clearly inspired by the Parthenon, the Second Bank helped to inspire a national "style" of using toned-down classical motifs as a symbol of republican virtue.
The building now houses the Portrait Gallery of the Independence National Park complex. It's free and open daily.
This is the Chestnut Street entrance to the "Bank" - in between 4th and 5th streets.
Remember your friends :)
Buy some postcards & head towards the B. FREE FRANKLIN POST OFFICE & MUSEUM at 316 Market Street. This is just a short walk from Franklin Court. In return, you'd get a unique cancelation like Postmaster Benjamin Franklin's! & your friends will be ecstatic!
The Postal Museum is on the 2nd floor & features displays of postal history, domestic & foreign postage stamps & other postal memorabilia.
Trivia: Noticed the 'Free' in between B. Franklin's name? It was assumed by most that Franklin was making a patriotic reference to the American struggle for freedom.
