In the early 1990s, a new PHL director, Mary Rose Loney, was dismayed that there was nothing distinctive about the restaurants, bars and retail outlets at the airport, nothing that said 'Philly" when you got off an airplane that helped you know where you were. The offerings have been upgraded significantly since then, making them comparable to some of the best airport retail outlets in the country, and there are some familiar local names in several locations. Today the airport and Marketplace/Redwood, the airport retail developer, announced that Chickie & Pete's, a popular Philadelphia-based chain of crabhouses, will open in three locations in the airport by the end of this year. Look for them in Terminals A-West, C and E.

That's great. As somebody who spends a lot of time in the PHL airport, anything would be an improvement.

In the limousine business for nearly 20 years,I notice when people get off an arplane they never look upward to see the signs hanging from the ceiling, What if someone took all the signs off the ceiling and place them on the floor...........That's where people are always looking anyway ! Maybe they'll find where the bags are !
