One of the reasons you drive a Toyota is because you are concerned about the world around you. Now, there's never been a better reason to drive your Toyota to watch the Philadelphia Phillies play some good old fashioned baseball.
The Philadelphia Phillies aren’t just the top Major League baseball team in the country. Now, the Philadelphia Phillies have led the charge to help out the world around them. They are the first Major League Baseball team to have joined the “Green Power Partnership” program run by the Environmental Protection Agency.
One way that the Phillies have worked to participate in this program is through sales at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. At the park, produce that is locally grown, as well as organic foods, are sold. In addition, the park is using LED lighting and putting recycled products to use. Perhaps most impressive is that the Phillies purchased 20 million kilowatt-hours of Green-e Energy, the equivalent to planting 100,000 trees.
In addition to being environmentally friendly, Citizens Bank Park is also kid-friendly. You’ll find, for example, the Phanatic Fun Zone. Here, children can enjoy a play area, where they can rock climb, build their own Phanatic, and enjoy hot dogs and soft drinks for just a dollar.
Be ready to get to Citizens Bank park when the new season starts. Visit your Conshohocken area Toyota dealer today.
If you’re looking to spend an evening in Philadelphia without spending a fortune, you’re in luck. There are many different eateries and bars where you can have a nice evening filled with food and drink, without having to take out a second mortgage.

Another pub you might consider is National Mechanics. This location is especially recognized for interesting decorations and it’s gastropub-esque menu. Whether you want to get a gourmet burger or a wonderful salad, you can do it here without breaking the bank.
Located at the edge of Old City, the Race Street Café is a quiet spot you may enjoy. This restaurant offers visitors a range of microbrews, as well as tasty pub grub. They also feature a late night menu of several interesting specials for around five dollars apiece.

It’s time to get into your Toyota today and check out the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Recently, the Museum announced that the exhibit “Amarna, Ancient Egypt's Place in the Sun” will be extended indefinitely.
This exhibition takes a look at one of the shortest lived cities in ancient Egypt, Amarna. Amarna dates back 3,300 into Egyptian history, and is the place that King Tut grew up and spend much of his childhood. This period of Egyptian history has been fascinating to archaeologists as well as common folks. This exhibit features over 100 artifacts from the era that will help bring the city to life right in front of you.
Archaeologists have been able to discover details about the rise of Amarna to power, as well as its sudden fall. They use drawings, photography, maps and computer recreations to bring this ancient city to the modern visitor.
There’s no better way to get to the Amarna, Ancient Egypt's Place in the Sun exhibit than in a new Toyota. Visit your Conshohocken area Toyota dealer today and drive the latest Toyota technology of our age to see this ancient wonder.
