Introducing Flat Billy Penn: Your vacation photos needed this
It’s time for vacation. Maybe that means your annual week down the shore, the best chair at your neighborhood pool or a trip abroad, like the photos above that Billy Penn founder Jim Brady sent from Barcelona.
Wherever you go this summer, take a little bit of Philly with you. Remember that Flat Stanley thing your fourth-grade cousin mailed you in 1997? It’s kinda like that, but we don’t care if you learn anything. We just want your photos.
Print out Flat Billy, take him on your adventures around Philly and beyond, and tag us on Instagram and Twitter at @billy_penn. You can post them to our Facebook page, too. Don’t forget to tell us where the photo was taken.
