Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I guess today’s feature shows that some things never change.  On this date in 1787, the constitutional convention was scheduled to happen in Philadelphia.  But guess what!  Not everyone showed up until a week later.  The difference is that the delay was due to difficulty of travel in the 1700’s.
