condition of the George Washington (GW) Motor Lodge and Convention
Center in Willow Grove by the early '90s.
But, these conditions did not detract from the tremendous experience
of those bygone days of this great Philly Show. I don't have the time
or space here to re-live them. I do remember, however, in 1981 when I
first started at Willow Grove, on Sunday mornings the Restaurant at the
GW would spread out a huge breakfast buffet (free) and all us dealers
would put on a great feed to start the day.
You can ask any dealer or attendee that frequented this Philly Show
during the 1980's of their experiences....and the enthusiasm in their
voice while relating their stories is unbelievable. And, the stories
are endless
