When the parade had passed by, a sea of red-clad folks started walking down Broad Street toward Citizens Bank Park, about three miles south. This view was shot from the Union League steps.

I had a morning meeting about a block from Broad St, but on the other side. Fortunately, there are some subway concourses that allowed me to cross Broad St underground and come up where I could go in the back door of the Union League.

The League was having a member open house with "tail gate buffet." That means self-service cheesesteaks with hot Cheez Wiz, hot dogs, pork sandwiches with sauerkraut and onions, hamburgers, fries, soft pretzels and the usual Union League assortment of tasty pastries. I'm glad I walked home -- I imagine I walked off maybe 1/5 of what I ate.

Click through to the photostream for more Phillies Victory pictures, including some from Wednesday night before I fell on my camera and broke the LCD display.

ETA: Omigosh. Time to get out the Reese's and the KitKats for the little hobgoblins!

self-service cheesesteaks with hot Cheez Wiz

What? No provelone wit, only Wiz wit?

It was self-service steamtable cuisine. Under those circumstances, Cheez Wiz works. I don't know that provolone would have.
