It is The City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia means Brotherly Love in Greek) and it is also known as the Cheesesteak Capital of the World. Interesting facts about Philadelphia--5th most populous City in the US and 2nd largest on the East Coast. Philadelphia was founded and developed by William Penn in 1682 (his statue is atop City Hall -- not Ben Franklin's as some people think) and was the first city to feature the strict "grid pattern" for streets. All streets run North-South or East-West.

The city of brotherly love. It has a wonderful history. I saw a show on it. You should really read up. It is interesting.
I went there in 1976 I was a little kid. They had the Liberty bell just behind ropes. I was really shy and my parents were excited because I put my hand in the crack of the liberty bell.
I saw a show on Phili recenty and it is being revived. It is really going back to its roots and people are taking an active interest in the neighborhood beauty. They are having city gardens again.
Read up on it or watch a movie. It is really wonderul. I hope you get to talk about it in a fun way.
