Philadelphia
Ah, the city of brotherly love and the birthplace of our little nation. This city is nice in its mix between the historic and modern. You can walk down small streets of rowhouses that were built in the 1700's and look up to see the huge skyline looming over them. You can sit in front of Independence Hall and admire the twin towers of Liberty Place, the tallest buildings in the city. The fifth largest city in America, it also seems to be one of the most diversified. It's a great mesh of cultures and it's evident along the streets.
