Honey she’s in Philly again which means TOUR TIME. When I showed up at Pennsylvania Hospital- the nation’s very first hospital and it’s still a working hospital - they said “We need 48 hours notice for a tour so normally it won’t work to just drop in. But we do have space for today. Just hope you’re not wasting our time.” Fabulous. Cut to I’m THE ONLY PERSON ON THE TOUR. Here’s what’s happening. Pic 1: THE OPERATING THEATRE. It’s where an 18th century audience would pay to watch operations on the poor. The operations were advertised around the city and there would also be comedy performances AT THE SAME TIME NEXT TO THE OPERATION. They didn’t have anesthetic so they would knock patients in the head with a mallet before surgery. 2. The dry moat around the entire hospital where the “mentally ill” patients would walk around and people would pay money to come and watch them. 3. A SEVEN POUND TUMOR FROM THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY THAT WAS SLICED OFF A MAN’s FACE (successfully! But then a three-pounder grew back). 4. George Washington sleeping in a suitcase. Philly is the best guys. Choice quote: “If Benedict Arnold hadn’t been screwed over for a promotion and then hadn’t messed up a little or if he had died just a little sooner, he’d be on the dollar bill. Washington was a joke of a leader and totally incompetent.” This was on the tour of the hospital.

philipbasil Aside from the Mutter Museum, you must visit the Mummer Museum at 2nd and Washington Ave (yes, switch the Ts for Ms on this one). It hasn’t been updated since it was built in the 70s, half of the displays are in shambles and there is a bar in the reception hall mimicking the Shining hallucination bartender scene. Think a big acrylic display case with a naked manakin surrounded by a pile of its fallen costume. Last time I went, they didn’t have the AC on and I had to turn on the lights as I went. And you get to try on old mummers outfits too! The “docents” are prime fodder for you. 💋💋

katiewes Thank you for doing the Lord’s work. Based on your description of the Masonic temple, I convinced my mom and stepdad (a mason himself) to take the tour with me the last time I visited them. The guide said he didn’t belong to a certain higher level of Masonry because it was expensive and he had “better shit to spend [his] money on, like alcohol.” 100% as advertised. ?

bogberrydryerballs Love that you're here (welcome!) and love the very ?? descriptions of your take on what it feels like. (The most begrudging carrying out of roles in almost every establishment. A magical way of making apathy feel aggressive..) If Can't wait to hear about it on TS.

eddus_poet I love your tour of disgruntled tour guides. If you’re ever in Bruges go on a brewery tour, the woman we had was disgusted by everything and everyone, especially people’s questions and was slowly eating a croissant the entire time. 💖

rebarebareba Oh man I’ve lived here for 10 years and never heard of these tours! I’m beginning to believe you go into places of business and ask for a tour ? let me know if you ever want a tour of an insurance company. Welcome back !

morgancora I gave birth here. We had to take a "birthing lesson" in that mentally ill exercise yard a month or two before our due date. The nurse pulled me aside told me the baby would pop right out bc I'm tall. She wasn't wrong 🤷
