Welcome to Philly! Be sure to swing by Chinatown, and the Philadelphia Art Museum, which are both must visits while in Center City. Besides the food, art, and music my hometown is best known for its history/ghost stories. If you want a really good ghost story to go along with your trip, Eastern State Penitentiary gives tours, or you could visit any of the historic graveyards. I grew up cutting through “The Woodlands” to get to school as a child.

Far too many good small family-owned restaurants have closed, including my favorite Indonesian place. We're recovering slowly, but alas much damage has been done. Hope you enjoyed your time here and yeah the LOVE statue is kind of underwhelming, those views around it are the real attraction though.

Lia just remember US coins and money is basically metric. So you have a penny, nickel, dime, quarter. Yes there are dollar coins and half dollar ones but not used much. So three quarters is .75 cents. Seven dimes and one nickel is .75 cents. Very straight forward any combination would get you to .75 cents. With three quarters being the easiest.
@barbarakiewe4917
@barbarakiewe4917 2 жыл бұрын
The UK has also had metric coinage since the 1970s, so I'm not sure what the difficulty was. They do use a 20 pence coin (20 hundredths of a pound) instead of a quarter and their 50 pence coin is actually used in circulation, so she might have just been accustomed to using different combinations of coins.

In the heyday of the railroads, Commodore Vanderbilt had a virtual monopoly on them and became the richest person in America. With so much money to spend, he wanted to leave his mark by building lavish rail stations in most of America's big cities. Even by today's standards, these stations are still considered artistic treasures. Sadly though, money to maintain the stations is becoming harder to come by and many are falling into disrepair.

Joel doesn’t like modern art, so I recommend you visit the Barnes Foundation on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The Barnes Foundation has one of the world’s best collections of impressionist art, including 181 paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 69 by Paul Cezanne, 59 by Henri Matisse, 46 by Pablo Picasso, 21 by Chaim Soutine, 18 by Henri Rousseau, 16 by Amedeo Modigliani, 11 by Edgar Degas, 11 by Giorgio de Chirico, 7 by Vincent van Gogh, and 6 by Georges Seurat. Other European and American masters in the collection include Peter Paul Rubens, Titian, Paul Gaugin, El Greco, Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet, Jean Hugo, Claude Monet, Maurice Utrillo, William Glackens, Charles Demuth, Roger de La Fresnaye, Horace Pippin, Jules Pascin and Maurice Prendergast. The Barnes Foundation also holds a variety of African artworks; ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art; Native American works, American and European furniture, decorative arts and metalwork. The museum also holds several significant works by cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. If you want to hear the world’s largest functioning pipe organ, visit Macy’s Department Store at 13th and Juniper Streets in Center City, just east of City Hall. It’s the Wanamaker organ, formerly Wanamaker’s Department Store, and it has 28,750 pipes in 464 ranks. It’s played in recital, twice every business day, Monday through Saturday, the same as it has been since it was first publicly heard on June 22, 1911. This is a video of the Wanamaker organ playing Finlandia by Jean Sibelius, transcribed and played by head organist Peter Richard Conte. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mquvpKtparqHf5o I also recommend you try Philly food like cheesesteaks, hoagies (Wawa, the local convenience store makes great hoagies), soft pretzels with mustard, and Tastykake. Tastykake has been in Philly since 1914 and is best known for their pies, cupcakes, mini-donuts and krimpets, especially their butterscotch frosted and coffee cake. Enjoy Philly, it's a wonderful city!

I'm SO glad you went to Reading (Pronounced Redding) Terminal Market - That's where the trains from Reading PA came into Philadelphia. Other trains go to the 32nd Street Train Station (a beautiful building) or the Suburban Station (across the street from the Courthouse near the LOVE statue) I've only seen a few Philly vlogs so I'm hoping you made it to South Street. If not, you must go back in warmer weather after COVID restrictions are lifted. I loved seeing you in my old stomping grounds!

Robert Indiana is the artist that created the Love sculpture. There's a copy of one in mid-town Manhattan, NYC. The Art Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana also has one.

Awesome video! Come back in the summer, there are way more activities to do. And if you want to take a dip, the Jersey Shore is only an hour away.

The whole bottom couple floors of City Hall is concrete, no metal. In some spots the walls are 8 feet thick.

Wow, that building where you got breakfast had so many different places in there you could eat at a new place each day. It's nice that it was indoors too because it was so cold outside. I remember seeing Sorted Food do some videos before of an outside market in London that had all sorts of food and fresh things to buy like veggies and cheese etc. If that is open in the summer that would be a cool video on the other channel to show all the cool stuff over there.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry I missed seeing you guys. My job is 2 blocks down from the Reading Terminal Market. Oh and to answer your question, it is Reading (like redding). :) I can't wait to see more of your videos in Philly. :D ♥

Went to college in Philadelphia in early 80's and haven't been back since. Must say city is much cleaner looking than when I lived there. Students were from whole eastern seaboard. We called it what suburban Philadelphians called it. Filthadelphia. Even New Yorkers were amazed at the amount of litter and garbage in the streets. It cleans up nice.

That litter problem ended in the 90s with the Center City special district. Covid killed a lot of city energy but some of it has come back.

Glad to hear that you had a good first morning there. 👍 That’s kind of disappointing that you weren’t able to sit inside the Starbucks, but at least the tea was good; I also love the English breakfast tea. terminal Market sounded really nice, I would’ve had a hard time deciding what to eat too though; it sounded like it had a lot of options. ☺️👏👍❤️

The creator of the Love Sculpture was Robert Indiana (1928-2018). He was born and raised in my hometown, New Castle, Indiana. I've always thought it so simple, but, hey, it made him a household name...

As a Philadelphian, I found this charming honestly. Very cute. And as I will be visiting London, I know I'll just be as annoying of a tourtist as well haha.
