Nice work... really like the aerials and the amount of variety.

tgbAustinite Apr 25, 2009 11:31 PM

aaahhhh, my home away from home...
fan-freakin-tastic thread!

OhioGuy Apr 26, 2009 12:02 AM

Always nice to see Philly. Thanks for posting these.

JackStraw Apr 26, 2009 12:03 AM

I love Philly threads. I also love the fact that the skyline is growing in Eastern Pa, unlike the one here where we got our first semi-tall highrise in the first 20 years.

Great shots, and keep up the philly threads.

Swinefeld Apr 26, 2009 4:18 AM

Hell yeah!

ady26 Apr 26, 2009 7:04 AM

Serge Apr 26, 2009 2:52 PM

Grat title too ;)

STLgasm Apr 26, 2009 3:28 PM

Awesome representation of Center City.

"--You can see the Waldork Astoria rendering in the window"

one of the best typos ever

Thundertubs Apr 28, 2009 4:20 AM

Nice shots!

Lovely Photos
do you get many tourists in philadelphia?

williamphilapa Apr 28, 2009 1:54 PM

I see conflicting #'s for various years on the interweb, Forbes ranks Philly in the top 12 most visited U.S. cities. (July2007)
I have no idea why (nothing against Texas) Dallas & Houston rank higher.

Philadelphia, Pa.
27.7 million (2005); 10.2 million rooms sold; score: 1.86

The City of Brotherly Love’s siren songs include national landmarks like the Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall. And Philadelphia’s allure is growing for international travelers: The Pennsylvania metropolis was one of only three of the top 20 cities in the United States that has shown an increase in overseas visitation from 2000 to 2005, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The below link ranks Philadelphia as the 3rd most historical city however Philadelphia and Boston are practically equal in my opinion.

No wonder Pennsylvania is my favorite state.
