Impecable diction at 30th Street Station
Does anyone know who the female track announcer is at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia? She has some of the best diction I (and others) have heard! Next time I am there, I'll be sure to ask around. I just wanted to recognize her for her talent. It's rare these days to come across this, which might be why this stands out to me so much.

The track announcer who used to work at NY Penn Station but has now retired had an even more mellifluous voice: Margaret McGowan. She was 60 in 1998 but she was still working there in 2004 and maybe even 2006. Not sure when she retired.
