Tour Guides Tell Hilarious Lies
Our city will soon face the long arm of the Tour Guide Gestapo, and for that we have City Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown to thank. But we also have local historian Ron Avery, who testified in favor of the tour guide regulations that will brand all certified tour guides with flair. He submitted to Heard in the Hall a list of 84 falsehoods he’s heard tour guides say, which is kind of a lot of work to do for tour guide regulation research. Do you think he’ll open a tour guide regulation test prep service? Some of these lies are pretty awesome, and I submit we should pretend they are true anyway. Go forth, people, and spread these awesome tall tales!
Oh! I believe that cat pictures is White, actually. I’m off to eat ice cream with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ben Frankin’s Swedish descendants. Hey, who does live in that house at 3rd and Walnut, anyway? Stop me if you’ve heard this one before…. [Heard in the Hall] |

I think Bob Marley lives at that house at 3rd & Walnut.
Drag, I thought it was noted George Washington killer Benjamin Rush.
So I guess the lies about Benjamin Franklin founding the first fire department in North America are still OK?
See: this for the truth.
I used to be a homeless rodeo clown but now I am a world class magician !

how about the one about jim knowing how to spell and not post multiple times
mike, it’s spelled “noeing” you dumbass!
How about the one where the city thought it’d be a good idea to build a soccer stadium in Chester?? HA HA HA HA HA… oh wait.
I asked when that house was being built, and I was told it was to be the home of a retired contractor who had spent his career building residential homes. I’ve never had confirmation.
So THAT’S what those uniformed go-getters were doing outside my house! And here I thought they were cops out to raid my weed stash! Turns out they were just lying about how Eli Whitney was my grandfather or some dumb shit…

Sorry, all; for some reason comments are being posted like four times. (If you’re commenting, you don’t need to re-post, it’ll show up eventually.) I’ll try to find those comments and delete them; for some reason this is harder than it should be.
I’m confused…were George Washington and Abe Lincoln alive at the same time? How could they have eaten together at the Powell House?
So let me get this straight… there are tour guide for Philly?
The comment gets posted, but the confirmation page load times out, making it look like the comment didn’t go through. People then reload the page, which posts the comment again.
It’s happened to me once or twice.
