Didn't I say that yesterday?  I-95/I-195.  No tolls!  I-95 goes direct to PHL
too for those that might be flying in/out.  It's fast too save for during the
rush hour but then, what route isn't?  Typically, there's some conjestion due
to perpertual I-95 construction circa the Vine Street Expressway up to around
Girard Ave. interchanges.  So, go have a cheesesteak and a beer, and wait out
the end of rush hour.  Gino's, Pat's and Jimmy's aren't far off I-95, and the
Reading Terminal Market is also an interesting experience not far off I-95 as
well.
