The Philadelphia Auto Show's return to the Pennsylvania Convention Center brought a big crowd with it.
A lot of the car lovers were at their first event since the city lifted its COVID-19 mask mandate last week.
Last year's show was canceled because of COVID-19, so organizers were determined to hold the event in 2022 and bring an estimated 200,000 visitors to the city over the next nine days. Gempp says one of the challenges has been adapting to changing pandemic rules. But when the city gave the all-clear, the staff was thrilled.
"All of the restrooms have been renovated. Even the escalators have UV protection on them, so when they go back under, they get cleaned by a UV light," said Gempp.
