Tourist Guide Philadelphia:

Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania in United States. It is often referred to as ‘Philly’ or ‘City of Brotherly Love’. It has a population of over 1,463,000 and is the fifth most populous city in the United States. Philadelphia has long been known as a major commercial, economic and cultural centre.

Philadelphia has a humid subtropical climate; summers are typically very hot while winters are freezing cold. However, the summers are tempered by a cool breeze. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. Rainfall is distributed evenly throughout the year.

Philadelphia has preserved its architectural heritage and also has new constructions in the form of museums, restaurants and clubs. Its economy is based on manufacturing, refining and finance.

I was born here. I lived until the age of 5 near Cobbs Creek but at 101 North Millick Street. I returned to West Oak Lane in 1969 to live with my Grandmother and aunt at 1960 Renovo Street until I left Penn State University first Chester, then Delaware County Campus for the U.S. Air Force in 1971. I now live in England, but visit on and off over the years on active duty and now retired. I worked at the Bulletin, KYW Newsradio, the Associated Press and experienced WCAU's Traffic Alert aircraft for two weeks and wire photo operations at the AP which was based in the Bulletin Newspaper ... More building. I eventually became a broadcaster and journalist while in the air force as well as a policeman and travelled the world. My British wife loves visiting our relatives and sightseeing various places the public take for granted. It is a unique city that I have pride in saying I am a Philadelphian - it stays in your heart forever no matter where you end up in life. I grew up in New Jersey but when I come back to visit, I remained based in a hotel in center city. I don't need a car to get around. Great transport, good people and plenty to do and see. It gradually changes in politics and landscape, but you can't take the city out of Philly.

Lovely historic city that is quite enjoyable. Lots of excellent restaurants and activities throughout the 4 seasons. Not too expensive ad the public transportation is excellent. Jobs are abundant and life is not too expensive; people are very friendly. I am looking forward to move to it!
