Summer is here and that means it is Temple Takeover Time!! Our coaches are traveling throughout the area this week with tonight being the second of this summer’s Temple Takeovers. Yesterday we visited Chickie’s and Pete’s in South Philadelphia and earlier today were hosted at MaGerk’s in Fort Washington, PA. Wednesday our coaches will be at the Green Parrot in Newtown, PA and Chickie’s and Pete’s location in Marlton, NJ on Thursday. Hope to see you at one of these great events.
