A Hometown America story by Alba C. about Philadelphia

" Many people don't realize that Philadelphia was the nation's capital from 1790 to 1800. But Philadelphia is well-known for its place in history. Betty Ross and Benjamin Franklin are just two of the many personages in history who hail from Philadelphia.

But Philadelphia hasn't been standing on its laurels. With cuisine that varies from chitterling cheesesteaks at Knappy Knicki's in Germantown to fine dining in Bookbinder's, your taste buds will never get bored. And along with the historic buildings, there are new skyscrapers downtown to add to Philadelphia's distinctive profile.

Whether you decide to check out the varied and plentiful nightlife in Philadelphia, go for a carriage ride on the cobblestoned streets of Center City, or just relax on the Delaware River or in Fairmount Park, you will know that you are visiting a city that offers you the best of the historic and the modern."
