Readers from Philadelphia or Philly-adjacent, please help me make sense of the place. From my limited time there, it seems to have fallen into the uncanny valley of American cities: has some history but it’s no Boston, some finance-looking people walking down the streets but it ain’t Manhattan, some tall buildings but not Chicago. Is the best thing about it that it’s a short and pleasant train ride away from both DC and NYC? Surely there’s more, but what is it?
