On vacation in the land of golf and Calabash seafood buffets last week, I found an unexpected treat:  a genuine, good  Philadelphia cheesesteak....in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The Philly House, on Kings Highway at 2nd Street,  was founded by a guy who left Philly after a divorce in the mid 90s to get a fresh start in a new town and raise his triplets.... yes, triplets...on his own.  Nick Papagiannis worked hard, and it paid off.   He moved to a larger location on the "Grand Strand,"  and is putting his son and daughters through college.

But he told me his heart remains in the City of .....well, you know the rest:

All through the years, Nick  made sure to get his rolls straight from Philly.....there's always an Amoroso's truck going to or from his place.   Nick and his family are really nice people, and it's so sweet to hear him say he's done it all for his kids.    He promised to visit next time he's in town.    

Meanwhile, the rest of my family's taste of  Philly was to their own tastes.  Check out Billy V's incognito look:

Sue, you asked for vacation stories, Well I married into a large family and I mean LARGE. Each year they have a family reunion down in Sea Isle City. There is usually about 130-150 people there for the week, they rent about 8-9 houses between 62-66 street on Pleasure ave. It is a great time, every house usually hosts a party of some sort, NY'ers have a ice cream social, Va'ers have wing night , there is a golf outing, fishing trip etc.. The family come from as far as South Africa, Chicago, NYC, Indiana, Cleveland, Virginia etc. There is about 20 kids under 10 who all play together like there are brothers and sisters. It is a great experience. check out their website for pictures....

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. Now she is in fifth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. We continue to make amazing upgrades to our equipment here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
