Back when I was in PHL, they were the Clinton days. Clinton LOVED PHL, and was campaigning hard for himself, then Gore, et al. I swear the man was there every month.

What's worse, is the Secret Service would close I-76 every time he landed. For those who understand, I-76 averages 2 lanes each way for about 5 lanes of traffic. And inevitably, they'd close during rush hour.

Luckily, I used to walk to work

However, PHL is a great place to see AF1. You can view it from almost anywhere in the airport, and it's great eye candy if driving by (or parked) on I-95.
