Forget the flu. The region has a serious case of Eagles Fever.
As you might have heard, they planning a little party Thursday in Philly.
With about 3 million people invited.
The Eagles Super Bowl Championship Parade will be held Thursday.
Wednesday is going to be a mess weather-wise, with a mix of snow changing to rain just about all day, so city officials decided Thursday would be the day.
Here in Delaware County, several schools are closing for the day. So far Upper Darby, Ridley, Springfield and Penn-Delco all plan to shut down Thursday so students and staff can take in what promises to be the Mother of All Parades.
City schools already had decided to shut down, and all archdiocesan schools - both in the city and the suburbs - will close for the day.
This morning SEPTA will lay out its plan. That should be interesting. If you remember the last time we did this, after the Phillies World Series Championship in 2008, there were problems on the regional rails. Basically, if you did not get on the train at one of the first stops at the western end, you were out of luck. Trains filled quickly and once full, simply zipped past huge crowds waiting at stations farther east on the lines. People were not happy.
We'll have all the details from SEPTA later today.
