 City at night by kazander
The views from our hotel rooftop were stunning. Philly has some very large buildings, but for some reason it does not feel nearly so clautrophobic as other cities. Leave a Comment

Just about everything your little heart can desire, from parks, monuments, statues & graveyards. Food stands of every type & style all over the area, dollar stores, restaurants from high brow to just plain chow. Clothing, shoes, books electronics & the ever popular Samson Street, home to jewelery merchants displaying their goods for all to see. Leave a Comment Directions: Center City near Washington Square

 Academy of Music by acemj
Theaters are everywhere, some spectacular, others charming. and all worth the price of admission. You should definitely check out the Academy of Music (academyofmusic.org), which is the oldest opera house in the United States that is still used for that purpose. I attended a friend's medical school graduation here, in which the former Surgeon General of the U.S., C. Everett Koop was the speaker and I've also been here for an opera. What a grand and beautiful place!! Leave a Comment

Right across City Hall, in Penn Square, you'll find Thomas Paine Plaza. Named after the author of "Common Sense", Thomas Paine Plaza is, well, an interesting place. It's got two sculptures - one of Benjamin Franklin the craftsman, the other a tribute to the US Bicentennial in 1976.
What really caught my eye was a tribute to board games. Checkers, Bingo, etc. My one question is: why here? Leave a Comment Address: Right off Market & Broad Streets
