A couple of weeks agho I was on vacation in Ocean City New Jersey, and they get all Philly TV. The popes visit, while more than a month away, received wall to wall coverage. Ugh.
yes, our daughter’s in-laws who were here for the baptism of our grandson this weekend are from the Philly area and they said it’s total insanity with all kinds of crap like POPE TOASTERS etc. being hawked. So unseemly and I don’t recall any of that when Benedict was here a few years back. His main visit is to Philly but he is coming here to say a Mass at the Basilica and also to address Congress which is going to be sickening, I know.
The daughter’s inlaws have a beach house in Ocean City, NJ, as a matter of fact.
