Hi Folks,

So, on Monday, looks like we have a two part talk:

Part 1: Curt Tilmes will talk about identifiers and Linked Data.

Part 2: I will talk about applications of the ideas in
        part 1 in the Global Change Information System.

Hope everyone can make it!

Brian

Nice! I've been reading up on that since our last meeting and have
many questions!

Thinking about it. But my Philly exploration so far has been limited to
weekend afternoons... what are Philly streets like on the trip home (to
PATCO, that is)?

(This may be a dumb question but bear in mind, I moved here from Wichita
where the buses barely cover anywhere, only run once an hour where they
do run, *and* stop running at 7pm, don't run on Sundays at all, and as a
result by about 6pm Wichita's downtown is a desolate wasteland where any
pedestrians risk being consumed by CHUDs*)

(*exaggerated only slightly for effect; downtown is slowly reviving but
the bus schedule is literally that)

Brian and I take Septa regional rail home after the meetings. I've
never felt unsafe walking to Jefferson Station around 9 PM. There are
plenty of folks around. You'd be walking the opposite direction, but
there are lots of bars and restaurants around there and I'd expect
there to be people out and about. It certainly won't be a desolate
wasteland!

Karen,

Generally speaking Center City, the area you?ll be walking in, is one of the safest parts of Philly?as Walt said there will be  people on the streets and lots of open bars and restaurants.  It?s a big city so not devoid of crime but I don?t think you could ask for a safer part of the city.  

Lyft, Uber and a cab would be also very easy to get from the location of the meeting but I don?t think that?s necessary?philly?s a great walking city, one of the best.

Karen, I can relate.

I grew up in the comparably transit-challenged city of Gary, IN. 
Compared with their bus service, even SEPTA's Route 79 (the Snyder 
Avenue bus), with its comically low frequency after about 6 PM on 
weekdays, is an upgrade.

FWIW, I drive in and park at 1540 Vine St (
http://www.philapark.org/gateway-parking-garage/).

It is $7 after 5pm (used to be $5).

It is ~.7 miles from Promptworks.

There are many people around and businesses open along the walk and I've
never felt unsafe.

There are 2 PATCO stations within a 2-3 block walk of our meeting
place. Paying for a cab or ride-sharing service seems like
overkill. If you're feeling unsafe I'm sure someone from the meeting
could walk you there.
