The warm-up of the weekend was the talk of the day.
At Rittenhouse Square, many people seemed to have the same idea Saturday evening, opting to eat outside to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather.
“It’s a little bizarre because the leaves are changing and everyone already has their fall decor out, but it definitely feels more like August than October, so a little bizarre, but it’s nice to be able to spend more time outside,” says Santana Jackson Cang.
Earlier in the evening, families enjoyed the sun at FDR Park. The swan boats were moving and the tennis courts were full. Tracy Do watched her husband and son play a game while enjoying what she called the perfect fall day.
“It’s not too hot and not too cold, it’s right around 75 degrees,” Do said.

Outside the Wells Fargo Center, many Flyers fans showed up in shorts before Saturday night home opener.
“It’s beautiful, I couldn’t ask for better weather. I love it,” Devanie Sewell said.
The Flyers hosted a block party to welcome the Broad Street Bullies back to South Philly. Winter sports are played on ice, but outside in the parking lot it felt more like summer.
“I don’t like the heat, so I prefer it cold, especially because I love hockey, but it will be fun,” Sonny Napoli said.
“It went from summer to winter and then suddenly fall was over and my body wasn’t used to it, but I’m looking forward to the heat, it’s going to be so great,” said Elyse Sternberg.
