How Bars Are Prepping For a Phillies World Series
There’s really no competition: The biggest story in the city this week was the Phillies making it to the World Series. This hasn’t happened in 13 years, and the excitement on the streets has been palpable for days. But we wanted to know what it’s been like for the people working at the sports bars where fans have gathered, watching every pitch with bated breath, and where there will no doubt be pandemonium starting Friday when the World Series kicks off. So City Cast Philly host Trenae Nuri took a trip to Paulie Gee’s in Center City and met bar manager Brenton Wallace, a die-hard Phillies fan who’s been preparing for this weekend’s festivities.
