America's Next Great City!

[city guy]

This is what I have been talking about for awhile, you can

see and feel the difference in Philly in the last 5 to 10 years.

Especially those who have moved from other places.

National Geographic Traveler has picked Philadelphia in the October

issue as "America's Next Great City."

This story has major legs. My aunt in Dallas said they saw it on

CNN and then my buddy sent me this link to the Houston

paper that mentions how "hot" Philly is now with condos.

Houston Chronicle http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3366258

Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...5092800302.html

Thanks for the links. Like the article said, I think that Philly is often overlooked as one of the nation's great cities.

I read that article. I liked what I read. I do hope that within the next few years, Philly won't be so overlooked.

Mike, Yes, a great read. Philly's best days are still to come.

You gave me an idea to post the story so others can give a read.

Those are really interesting articles everyone. Philadelphia has always been near the top of my list for cities to visit.

Glad to see that Philly is finally being recognized as an "IT" city. Given some of the trouble NYC is having Philly is serving as an attractive alternative on the east coast. Hopefully they will lower the taxes some across the state since biz is up .

It is an very exciting time for Philly. Finally coming into it's birth right. It's a wonderful city, great location and finally becoming the heart and soul of NE Corridor and not just a stop between NY and DC but a worth while destination. I often take weekend trips from Pittsburgh. They have become, more often to Philly than NY or DC. NY has lost its edge as far as Im concerned. Each visit I find it more generic than the time before. DC just has too many politicians. Philly is just right

I love Center City, its one of the most unique experiences in the country
