Philadelphia Photo Tour & Giveaway Winner

Sometimes you get a chance to see a place from the outside looking in and you realize how special that place really is.  We often take the things around us for granted.  I spent 32 years of my life living in Philadelphia and have only recently come to appreciate so many things the city has to offer. Family, friends and food aside I want to share with you some photos I took as an outsider looking in.

  3. I haven't been back to Philly since 1995. Still looks as beautiful as ever. You are so right one does take things for granted. I miss the Italian markets most of all!

  5. I've only been to Philly once, and it was so short and I didn't get to explore the city at all. This makes me really want to go!!
