Tour Guide Regulation Moving Along
Exciting new tour guide regulation is closer than it has ever been. KYW 1060 reports local historian Ron Avery testified to City Council:
Oh. So will the tour guides be required to tell everyone the Betsy Ross story is a complete fabrication? Hopefully. Also, the Inky’s Jeff Shields reports there’s still a little work to do on the bill: “Brown said the bill still has work to do — defining what exactly constitutes a tour operator, what types to exempt (such as foreign-language or out of town interpreters).” So, you know, a large majority of the bill. Unless the history tests are already written! Tour Guides moves out of committee [Heard in the Hall] |

The most amusing part of that hearing was Councilman Jones quizzing the tour guide operators about who the Fresh Prince is and exactly where he is from.
Geez I am only a volunteer, my people like the story of how William Penn looks like he is peeing on the city when it rains, in retaliation for facing his ass facing Center City and that the sun never warms his face.
