September 4th, 2010
Been trying to get Michael to MEMPHIS TAPROOM since I went there
a couple years ago. I strongly suspected he would like it…. and HE DID!
It’s not really convenient for us to go often but it was easy enough for us
to stop in tonight after the FLUGTAG event.
It is located on the border of the Port Richmond and Fishtown neighborhoods of Philly,
in the Kensington section of the city. Or, Port Fishington for short.
That’s about a 45 minute drive for us.

Michael was impressed with ALL the bikes on the bike rack
outside the bar. Many people use bikes for
transportation in the city — unlike in the ‘burbs
where we generally just use our bicycles for recreation.
