awesome tour! outside of center city, chestnut hill is hands down the most beautiful neighborhood in philly. with private boys and girls academies, a private college, a community hospital, country club, train station, walkable, tree-lined streets, thriving, cobblestone commercial street, a small park and the huge wissahickon park, and easy access (by train, bus, or car) to center city, it really is the perfect "suburb".

swiney - don't forget about the significant amount of modern architecture (mostly frank lloyd wright) and the incredible mansions along crefield street (near bells mills) that overlook wissahickon park.
