    try doing a google search for Philadelphia craft stores. I did one and several came up including an AC More store. Do you have a smart phone? If you do, you could use Yelp to find craft stores.

    Thanks Auntpiggylpn. I was hoping to not have to drive as Philly is too many one ways for me :shock: I found one that is within walking distance of the hotel I am at but they don't show rulers as something they sell. I will call them in the morning and see. Otherwise I may have to see if the hotel has a regular ruler just for the straight edge!
    Thanks again
    Hugs

    Make sure you get a philly cheesesteak from Pat's. Try some Irish potatoes too! Philly is a fun city and much calmer that NYC. I live about 20 minutes from the city in NJ. I used to live in north Jersey about 30 minutes from NYC and NYC is much busier and more difficult to negotiate if you are not a city driver.
