PA State Police has also recently been doing safety patrol which means they are checking that you have a valid driver license, vehicle insurance, registration and state inspection. Please keep all paper work in the vehicle, I personally have scaned images of all three just in case in the glove box.
Please remember to remove ALL electronic devices from you vehicle, GPS, Stereo Face plates, celluar phones, most hotel rooms have a safe in them (small charges apply).
They are also doing roving DUI check points. Ask a security employee about these they typically have heard about these and know how to avoid them.
I go to Kunda Beverage which with in 15 minutes of city driving from the convention center. They are very freindly and have a nice selection of beverages.
A reminder to you out of state friends Pennsylvania has rules which are from the 30's. A place such as kunda's sells cases only and a bar can only sell a half a case at a time to one person per visit. Liquor purchase are made at the Wine & Spirits Shoppe which you can take north gulph road to south gulph and there is a new mall to the right. If you bring from out state and get caught the officer has the right to break or confiscate on site. (loss of sales tax revenue is the reason) so bury it in your vehicle deep.
Also if you are going to buy a quantity of beer 12 or more cases of any type of beer and pay CASH Kunda’s gives a ten percent discount. And that adds up quickly.
