Thumbs up Philadelphia is "America's Next Great Place"

According to National Geographic Travelor's "Next Great Places Issue" Philadelphia is America's "next great city". Philadelphia is "...America's not to miss city" and will be to the next decade what San Francisco was in the 60's, Miami was in the 80's and Seatle in the 90's. Great article. Check it out. Best press since 1776!

That's awesome and deservedly true. I know SO many people (quite a few on this board--myself included) who could have gone to any number of world class cities, but chose Philadelphia as their first choice. I think that we will be proven to be forward thinkers within the next decade. Good post!

I'm personally waiting to see who'll replace Street, but SO AWESOME! That's definitely some much needed good press.

That's Geat (sic) News!!!
Just the kind of news we need to convince our parents that we're not nuts for moving there!

Unfortunately this doesn't mean much since their last pick for city of the decade was Camden!

Check out the responses on this blog. Pretty funny.

Anyone know where Gloucester City is on that list? It's the next Fishtown!

With all the extra attention, this would be a great time to fix the sidewalks in Eakins Oval and along the parkway.
