Welcome to Philadelphia!
Philly, as residents often call it, is Pennsylvania's largest city. The bustling city has a rich history and is home to 1.5 million residents (Quickfacts). Founded in 1682 by William Penn, today there are several iconic cultural and historical sites here.
The "City of Brotherly Love" is home to the Philly Cheese Steak, Rocky, the Phillies, Eagles, along with many other things. My grandparents grew up in the row houses of Northeast Philly, and many of my relatives still live there. From time to time, I will try to tell you as many stories my grandparents told me growing up. Philly is the place where old meets new, and it is extremely interesting. Throughout the semester we will learn more about this wonderful city!
