Me, I've been to a couple of "historical" sites (read: buildings younger than my grandmother - but then again, everyone from outside the US is amused by how young your historical stuff is :-)

Then, the school graduation, a busy little shopping street (where there was also a dingy little place that made EXCELLENT philly cheese steaks!), the UPENN hospital (a family member suddenly crumpled over in extreme pain from a kidney stone and we thought he was going to die!) which was so very cold that I got sick immediately afterwards.

[What's with you guys and refrigerated public places anyway? I never could understand that obsession with deep freeze air-conditioning -g-]

What else... Not much else, really. I thought it was a miserable place, but then again, I am not used to living in industrial cities with a high crime rate, where store clerks said "hello, love", "here you go, love", etc -g-
