I stayed at an AirBNB in the East Falls neighborhood when I went to the expo last year. It was really nice to be so close to Wissahickon Valley Park and the Schuykill River Trail, the latter of which makes it really easy to get from East Falls to the convention center. I took the Amtrak from Cleveland and the river trail also made it easy to get from the train station to East Falls. There’s even some nice hill climbing!
I had so much fun last year, and if anyone is on the fence I highly recommend going. I won’t make it this year, but will definitely be attending in 2026. I remember meeting Eric M and Tim while I was there. The coffee outside ride that Tim organized was a blast!
