Philly taxes! Philly cops! Philly government! Not so fast. This is the
same city that burned down an entire city block just to evict some folks
from their house. Killed some of the kiddies too. :-(

Don't get me wrong, I love Philly, sine I'm from there originally, but I
would not want to live there again. Visit Ok.

Philly does boast the biggest park of any city in the states -- Fairmont
Park. I've actually hiked some of it. Quite impressive for a city its
size. Plus, Philly has quite the culture and ethnic restaurants galore.
It's a wonderful city -- to visit. University of Pennsylvania is there
(one of my old hangout spots), as well as Drexel and Temple U. And I
miss The Painted Bride. Not even sure it's still there. Dock Street is
the Philly equivalent of Sam Adams. And there is a wonderful
microbrewery restaurant by the same name. Best damn microbrewery I've
ever been to in the States. Sorry, Martha's Exchange.

I will say this -- even as a vegetarian, but I used to be a carnivore --
there is only ONE place to get Philly steak -- Philly. Other places
outside of Philly claim they do Philly steaks, but don't come even
close. Accept no imitations. 

Oh, and if you do go there, you MUST see South St. It's cool, it's hip.
You also must see the Boat Houses at night along the Schuylkill River.
Best seen from the opposite side.
