This past Friday after some morning spotting I went into Philly to meet my Wife for lunch.  After lunch she had to go back to work so I strolled around town for a while. On my journy I headed down to Penn's Landing by the river and came across the Irish Memorial.  I didn't even know there was one but, it was a very interesting work of art.  I just wanted to share it with all our Irish members.

Here is a link with more info about it.

A lot of them settled in the Philadelphia area after arriving to Ellis Island.  Philadelphia was a big melting pot of immigrants from Europe and still has sections that are that are broken up by nationalities. South Philly is mostly Itailian.  Northeast Philly is mostly Jewish.  Kensington is made up of mostly Irish and so on.  The one section of Philly you really don't want to venture into is North Philly especially at night!!
