    I had no issues for the 2020 show in the convention center. No wands or bag checks. Was nice to be able to hit up the Reading Terminal Market that was right there also.

    This year the event is all outdoors at FDR Park. And checking the website it looks like it*s a no weapons policy for the show, with scanning. That sucks and would be a no go for me.

    *All visitors will be scanned using weapons detection technology prior to entering the Flower Show grounds. All bags and personal belongings are subject to search by Show security prior to entering the Flower Show grounds. Please see our list of Flower Show policies for further details about bag size, prohibited items, and other regulations for Show guests. Note that guests will be asked to secure any items on the Prohibited Items List off Show grounds.*

    Why is that? Have you seen the setup? When was the last time you were in that section of South Philly ?

    Outdoor at FDR Park, drove past 3-4 times and saw no signs of metal detectors at the perimeter. It's a really nice area, plenty of cops around enjoy the show.

    FDR Park has always been nice and peaceful when I would go there.Its certainly not Bellmont Plateau.
    There are no pacts between lions and men.

    Wasn't FDR park where Congresswomen Scanlon got car jacked.
    Sticks and stones will break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.

    Yes and a Chief Inspectors son was shot and killed during a fight.

    But I don*t know what Jen is trying to portray. I can pick out a dozen locations in the five county area, where a single, random act of violence occurred and I would feel totally safe returning there.

    This isn*t K & A or like Krichardson said Belmont Plateau.

    Will Smith was kind of a prophet with Summertime:

    ...A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
    Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise...
