Philadelphia - Hometown Holla!
Recently, I was excited to learn that my hometown of Philadelphia was named the first UNESCO World Heritage City in the United States. I've long known about the abundance of history and culture the city has to offer, but I got little pangs of pride when I read the article from Travel and Leisure. If you need to decide on a domestic destination for an upcoming vacation, start with Philadelphia. Food, culture, history, art, sports, and recreation, it really does have it all!
“As a World Heritage City, Philadelphia is being officially recognized
on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world as the
epicenter of American democracy and for its enduring commitment to
preserving the unique historical and cultural assets in our diverse
community.” - Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter
