I live in Montco, but find it much easier to get in and out of the city than to travel to
another suburb. Sure, it would be nice to have a meeting in Abington or cheltenham,
but for many of us, it is easier to get to center city than, for instance, to get from
where I live to anywhere in Delco or even Western Montgomery County. And city
traffic is nothing compared to suburban bottleneck traffic.

And SEPTA is the real answer to traffic (and expensive parking).
I, too, have been finding getting into West Philly tough on Wednesdays, but would
welcome other center city opportunities.
