of Brotherly Love”</span> was coined when <span style="font-weight: bold;">William Penn</span>, who
founded the city, named it to reflect its Greek translation and roots.
Penn’s idea was to build a place, being a <span style="font-style: italic;">Quaker</span>, that anyone
can practice their own faith openly and without persecution. The <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">original
capital of the country</span>, it was also the <span style="font-style: italic;">2nd biggest British Empire after
London</span>. Its history, tradition, and culture are hidden not
too deep beneath the layers of events and celebrations they continue to
celebrate today. It is an exciting, renowned melting pot of immigrant
cultures.</big><br />

<big> </big><big>Just like Penn intended, there are a lot of parks and green spaces to
enjoy everywhere you turn in downtown Philly. As an ideal escapade from
bustling city life, Philadelphia provides blocks of landscaped greens
surrounded by public art, all of which can be clearly viewed from
within your Philadelphia charter bus. Just to name a few: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Franklin Square</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fitler Square</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Square</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rittenhouse Square</span>
or <span style="font-weight: bold;">Logan Square</span>.<br />
<br />
Home to historic landmarks like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Liberty
Bell</span> and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Declaration
of Independence</span>, it has inspired a smaller <span style="font-weight: bold;">New Philadelphia in Ohio</span>
(30 minutes from Canton) which has a population of approximately
180,000. Thanks to its rich history, culture and friendly
people (except for when you’re supporting the opposite sports team,
that is), the city revels in its own quirks. To sample what
Philadelphia offers, look out for the following.<br />
</big>
<br />
<h2>
<big>1. City of Firsts</big></h2>
<big>You’re right if you think, being one of the pioneering
cities in the country, that Philadelphia had the privilege of enjoying
many historical firsts. It hosted America’s first independence, got to
first explore the world of personal computers, ran the country’s first
daily newspaper (<span style="font-weight: bold;">The
Philadelphia Packet</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Daily Advertiser</span>
back in 1784), and its people enjoyed the country’s very first zoo! Not
only did it build the country’s first hospital, it had the first
medical school which, until today, is known for vast advancements in
the medical sector. The stats don’t lie. One in every six doctors in
the country received their training in Philadelphia.<br />

established the society way before the Declaration of Independence. Its
purpose was to have a place where the scientific discovery was
independent of Great Britain’s dominance. Today, it is an International

ethnography, linguistics, digital innovation, and sciences.</big><br />

<h3>
<big>Dox Thrash - Accomplished Painter and
Printmaker</big></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<big>Dox Thrash became well-known because he produced countless
paintings, drawings, and prints during his lifetime that reflected his
life as an African American. It was a bold idea at that time. In the
1940s, after introducing the Carborundum printmaking technique, he
continued developing his expertise in etching, drypoint, mezzotint,
lithography and linoleum cut. We are sure you’ll enjoy the results of
his countless experiments as much as he did. He remained active in the
art scene until his death and you can view his masterpieces at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Free Library of Philadelphia</span>,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Museum of Art</span>,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Woodmere

The city established its first bank during a nationally tumultuous
time. Chartered in 1791 as a part of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Alexander Hamilton</span>’s
reforms, it played a crucial role in setting the financial stage right
for the country. Introduced in the country’s first capital, it had the
Federal Government take over Revolutionary War debts, raise money for
the new government and established the country’s first national bank
and currency.<br />

backbone of almost everything. It isn’t the most affordable city in the
country or state but if you’re trying to get the best bang for your
buck, free and affordable attractions in the form of parks, galleries,
historical sites, and museums are going to save the day. Historic sites
like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Liberty Bell</span>,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Independence Hall</span>,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The U.S. Mint</span>
and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Christ Church</span>
either offer free admissions or require a small fee and when the right
place hits the right spot, it makes every cent count.<br />
<br />
Iconic powerhouses like Liberty Bell are absolutely free for all
because you can stop by and take a picture of yourself with the cracked
but historically-significant bell without parting with a single cent of
your hard-earned money. You are also welcome to roam the rooms <span style="font-weight: bold;">of Benjamin Franklin</span>
and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thomas Jefferson</span>
at Independence Hall at your own time and pace. Budget-conscious folks
can also opt to stroll through the gorgeous still-running Christ Church
or organize a group tour to learn about the history of U.S. money at
The U.S. Mint. For kids/students, it would be like watching the words
from the pages of their history books come alive. Learning something
new about the movers and shakers of a different era will beef up your
knowledge about your country, anyway.<br />
<br />
For something artsier, you can count on the recitals held at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Curtis Institute of Music</span>
which are <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">NOT
free</span> but you can <span style="font-style: italic;">pay
as you wish</span>. Every contributed cent goes towards funding
future programs to encourage similar projects and outreach programs.
Art museums also offer days of free admission and they deliver on
value. No compromise on your educational and entertaining experience. A
trip to free attractions gives you a passport to a whole new different
world.</big><br />

<a href="http://www.usmint.gov/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.usmint.gov</a><br />
If we’re going to be talking about money, maybe it's time we get to the
bottom it. A trip to the U.S. Mint won’t make you any richer but it is
intriguing, especially for those who are into <span style="font-style: italic;">coin-collecting or investments</span>.
Cryptocurrencies aside, the United States Mint, which has been around
since 1792, will show you <span style="font-style: italic;">how
the facility churns out millions in coins every 30 minutes</span>.
You read right, every 30 minutes! Paper money is printed at the
facility too but there’s something about shiny nickels in your hand
that makes you feel extremely nostalgic. And rich.<br />
<br />
The tour around the facility at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Independence
Mall</span> is free and relaxed throughout a self-guided
tour. They have audio stations set up around it to guide you
through the process from start to finish. The trip would not be
complete without revisiting the country’s past and important coins. The
Mint is the only manufacturer of the country’s legal tender coinage and
paper money in circulation throughout the history of America and houses
<span style="font-style: italic;">commemorative coins like
silver and gold bullion coins</span>. The facility is a
self-sustaining one and the oldest agency in the Federal Government.<br />
<br />
When you walk around, be sure to look around you, observing
approximately how 1.600 workers in the attraction proudly go about
their work in serving the American people. It also runs games and
activities like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hoops
and Darts</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pinky's
Presidential Challenge</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Coin Memory Match</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Making Change</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Peter the Eagle's Coin Drop</span>
for kids. It also shares information via coin fun facts, tips on how to
collect coins and share their hobby with their family and friends.</big><br />

of 2018</span> is ringing in some really exciting times...for
visitors and locals alike. As the warm summer months greet us, so are
the abundance of festivals and events. Almost all, as with other parts
of the country, are related to art, culture, food, music, family
entertainment, and drinks. And they are happening almost-solely at the
heart of Philly. The bevy of events includes the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philly Beer Week</span>,
Happy Hour Series like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Old
City Eats</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Center
Ship Sips</span>, and a sub-family-friendly event like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Zoo Summer Ale
Festival</span>. Some events prove themselves to be a moving
target, fleeting from park to park and bar to bar, others more staple
like the <span style="font-weight: bold;">July 4th
celebrations</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Blue
Cross RiverRink Summerfest</span> and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Spruce Street Harbor Park</span>’s
ever-famous waterfront oasis. <br />
<br />
Notable events are having their grand openings this year which include
the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cherry Street Pier</span>,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rail Park</span>,
and the world-famous just-restored <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOVE
sculpture park</span>. In the meantime, events are also coming to
a close, namely the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bastille
Day Farewell Tour</span> at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eastern
State Penitentiary</span>. People know summer in Philadelphia for
its larger-than-life events and its people for their can-do spirit.
Visiting the art shows, outdoor festivals, film screenings,
food-focused events bring in a lot of vibrancy and loud enthusiasm to
kick the mundane norm to the curb. Most events require a small
negligible admission fee, but there are tons of free events to attend
to. All you need is a few blankets to place on the grass, an open mind
and heart, your family and friends, and some homemade sandwiches and
drinks, and you’re good to go! One good example would be the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wawa Welcome America</span>
free party - it’s a free concert complete with elaborate fireworks
displays along the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Benjamin
Franklin Parkway</span>. <br />
<br />
During weekends, when the kids are bouncing off the wall, bring them
out for a fun alfresco meal where you hang out with your friends over a
delicious brunch while the little ones play outdoors. It’s affordable,
simple, and irrefutably satisfying.</big><br />

<h2>
<big>1. Bastille Day : The Farewell Tour</big></h2>
<big><span style="font-style: italic;">July 14,
2018; 5.30pm</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Eastern State Penitentiary</span><br />
2027 Fairmount Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19130 <br />
(215) 236-3300 <br />
<a href="http://www.easternstate.org/visit/events/bastille-day" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.easternstate.org/visit/events/bastille-day</a><br />
In France, it’s called <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">la Fete
Nationale</span>, meaning the <span style="font-weight: bold;">French
National
Celebration</span>, and in most English-speaking nations, it’s <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bastille Day</span>.
Celebrated on <span style="font-weight: bold;">July 14th</span>
every year, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eastern
State Penitentiary</span>’s
Bastille Day celebration will be the last in its run. For one final
time, they are teaming up with the renowned <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Bearded Ladies</span>.
They
are a troupe of performers known for their intellectual, witty,
entertaining and meaningful cabaret performances during the Bastille
Day event. Without holding back, they tackle everything from politics
to gender equality, artistic innovations to the latest happenings like
Philly public education systems, racial injustice, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mark Zuckerberg</span> (and
Facebook, of course) and the epic topic of the border wall. They offer
a spectacular look into the whole <span style="font-weight: bold;">French
Revolution</span> which involves
everything from commentaries to songs, dances to food. </big><br />
<big><br />
As touchy as some topics can be, they toast them in a delicate yet
playful manner. Emceed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Edith
Piaf</span>, the event is backed by
performances depicting the last Queen of France before the French
Revolution, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Marie
Antoinette</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joan
of Arc</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Benjamin
Franklin</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vladimir
Putin</span>, and an impressive 6-foot-tall <span style="font-weight: bold;">French Baguette</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Terry McNally</span>,
the co-owner of <span style="font-weight: bold;">London
Grill and Paris Wine Bar</span>, has been taking on the
task of portraying Marie Antoinette since the event's inception in
1985, throwing <span style="font-style: italic;">‘TaskyKakes’</span>
out of the prison walls after a mock cry,
<span style="font-style: italic;">‘Let them eat Tastykake!’</span><br />
<br />
As the State Penitentiary embarks on a new journey, the event (which
has grown far beyond its original founders' anticipation 24 years ago)
will close the curtain with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Farewell
Tour</span>. All good things, as they
say, have to come to an end, but with bread and beer in hand, a song on
your lips and a dance to your steps, you’ll remember this Bastille Day
for a long time. So, join them on their sendoff journey and revel in
reenactments of French Revolution and enjoy thousands of butterscotch
krimpets raining down on event-goers. They will hold the <span style="font-weight: bold;">After Party</span> at
French-themed restaurants, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Urban
Saloon</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">London
Grill</span>.</big><br />

Love</span> was the site of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Declaration of Independence</span>;
it’s where you
are encouraged to ditch your diet and dig into delicious <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philly
cheesesteaks</span>; and it also played a pivotal role in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">American
Revolution</span>, was a meeting place for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Founding Fathers</span> of
the
country...but these are all common knowledge. Having been one of the
country’s capitals, it’s had its run as a headliner, before <span style="font-weight: bold;">Washington
D.C.</span> took over. Suffice to say, there is a lot more from
where that
came from. <br />
<br />
Being the city where many of the country’s firsts came about, the
can-do spirit is still very much rife and alive. The spirit of intense
excitement of being able to forge ahead in multiple industries and
being written repeatedly on pages of our history books has created a
society of influencers. Philly handily beat out <span style="font-weight: bold;">New York City</span> and
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Columbus, OK</span>,
for the hosting of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">2016
Democratic National
Convention</span>, while Republicans will be holding their
nominating
convention in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland</span>.
With its history, knowing nuggets of its
decorous past will inevitably lead down the road of politics.<br />
<br />
Even with that said, there’s really more to Philly than cheesesteaks,
politics, and history. So, without further ado, here are some
compelling facts about the city to tickle your noggin. </big><br />

<h2>
<big>1. The Birth of the Giant Brain in the 1940s</big></h2>
<big>We’re going on out a limb to say that, apart from the brains
in the humans who helped come up with <span style="font-weight: bold;">ENIAC</span>, the <span style="font-style: italic;">Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer</span>, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Giant Brain</span>, was the
closest we came to an
automated system at the time. It was also the first fully electronic
computer in the world when it was designed and built at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">University
of Pennsylvania</span>. The endeavor received enthusiastic
response and
support from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">United
States Army</span> which started using the computers
right off the bat during <span style="font-weight: bold;">WWII</span>.
Reputed to be 1,000 faster than any
other computers known to man at that time, it was a natural winner. <br />
<br />
It was smart enough to out-calculate the best of human beings and was
said to be Turing-complete. Just by inputting data (read: numbers), it
helped in artillery firing tables for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Army's Ballistic Research
Laboratory</span> and was included in the study of thermonuclear
weaponry. <br />
<br />
You won’t find the computer around anymore, that goes without saying,
what with a smartphone in everyone’s hands, we literally have something
that outperforms this relic device. But it’s interesting to explore
what was successfully salvaged of ENIAC. Visitors who are into
computing and science will find original bits and pieces of it at The
School of Engineering and Applied Science at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">University of
Pennsylvania</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">National
Museum of American History</span> in Washington D.C.,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Computer History

always about <span style="font-weight: bold;">Liberty Bell</span>,
it’s called the <span style="font-weight: bold;">City of
Brotherly Love</span>, and if you’re a foodie at heart, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wing Bowl</span> (tens of
thousands of people would throng to Philly to experience a full-blown
eating contest). You can’t really beat that. <br />
<br />
Unless you’re into history, culture and bucolic sceneries. Some small
towns and communities around Philadelphia, however, remains on the list
of the most beautiful cities in America and if you're looking for
something unconventional and non-touristy, you're in luck. <br />
<br />
Philadelphia is blessed with hundreds of miles of lazy coastlines, is
home to well over 120 state parks and campsites, and is a short
distance away from one of the country’s most beloved natural sites -
the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Appalachian Mountains</span>.
The main Philadelphia city center boasts of being the site for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">United States Declaration of
Independence</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Independence
Square</span>, the largest art museum in the country....and <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Philly
Cheesesteak</span>. But you’ve got to take the <a href="http://www.busrentalsphiladelphia.com/">Philadelphia
charter bus</a> out for a detour around a few under-promoted
small towns around Philly to truly comprehend the full context of its
traditional values. And here are some to consider visiting. </big><br />

<h3>
<big>1. New Hope, PA</big></h3>
<big><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Junction
Between An Old World And The New</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Location</span> : <span style="font-style: italic;">1 hour 15 minutes drive from
Philadelphia, PA</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Distance</span> : <span style="font-style: italic;">40 miles using I-95 S</span><br />
Strategically-located along <span style="font-weight: bold;">Delaware
River</span>, New Hope, over several years, was named one of <span style="font-weight: bold;">America’s Favorite Towns</span>
by adventurous travelers from renowned magazines and websites like
Trail & Leisure. Backed by hundreds of years of history as it
served as a connecting point between many bustling cities in the East;
today, New Hope serves up a platter of options in the form of theaters,
art museums, cultural attractions, quaint motels and B&Bs,
restaurants and eclectic shopping destinations that you can poke around
leisurely in. <br />
<br />
What you will inadvertently notice about New Hope is that many parts of
the town look like it was torn off from the pages of our history books.
It rings of the 1800s more than one would expect and yet is an amazing
tourist town that offers charming antique shopping destinations, quaint
art galleries, brick-and-mortar retail outlets, beautiful state parks
and wildflower preserve along the streets, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Delaware River</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Delaware Canal</span>.
World-class chefs have decided to bring unique flavors of the world
(think fried catfish, po’ boys and gumbo ya-ya), mingled with
traditional cuisine into <span style="font-weight: bold;">Buck
County</span> and it makes for a fantastic foodie tour
destination. While a delightful American continental dinner can be had
at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Logan Inn</span>,
don't forget to also leg it across <span style="font-weight: bold;">New
Hope’s Main Street</span> in search of the most palate-pleasing
traditional delights. Just ask around, if you’re unsure, as the locals
will be more than happy to point you in the right direction. <br />

our forefathers were already enchanted with the incredible,
breathtaking outdoor spaces all around Philadelphia. So inspired were
they by <span style="font-weight: bold;">the New World</span> that <span style="font-weight: bold;">William Penn</span> called his little newfound
colony <span style="font-weight: bold;">Penn’s Woods</span>, renamed Pennsylvania. Arm yourself with a map from
the city's Visitors Center or a GPS system on your smartphone, pull up
your bootstraps and you’re ready to plan your trajectory around greene
countrie. Many of the parks started off as a part of the recreated
imagination of the country’s forefathers. In the form of spacious urban
spaces packed with families and little ones tumbling around the
manicured greens, youngsters testing their strengths at the parks
amenities skateboarding, cycling, running, jogging, walking and playing
frisbee. On the fringes of the vast spaces are often pop-up gardens
filled with blooming flowers<br />
<br />
The park systems in and around Philadelphia also houses many of the
city’s most iconic landmarks and historic institutions like <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Barnes
Foundation</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Please Touch Museum</span>, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mann Center for the Performing
Arts</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Glen Foerd on the Delaware</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shofuso Japanese House &
Garden</span>, and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Museum of Art</span>. The well-maintained trail
systems are also built around green spaces, often snaking their ways
around rivers, calming streams, piers, business and shopping districts.
Therefore, you are a short walk away from attractions like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Spruce
Street Harbor Park</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Race Street Pier</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Longwood Gardens</span> or <span style="font-weight: bold;">Valley Forge
National Historical Park</span>.</big><br />

<big>1. Wissahickon Valley Park</big></h3>

Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19128</span><br style="font-style: italic;" />
<span style="font-style: italic;">(215) 247-0417</span><br />
<a href="http://www.fow.org/" target="_blank">www.fow.org
</a><br />
As vast as the park is, it gives off the feeling that it aims to
simplify all complexities of the modern world. With more than 2,000
acres of park space, which includes the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wissahickon Creek</span> flowing in
from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schuylkill River</span>, its 57-mile of serene wild, untouched landscape
and its 1,800-acre gorge serves as a respite for people who simply
needs to connect with nature. The trail leads hikers and runners into
the depths of forests and meadows. You can even take a drive along the
gravel road that sits along the calming creek, or hike your way up the
more challenging off-road cycling and hiking areas. Armed with a camera
or smartphone, be on the lookout for local wildlife like chickadees,
titmice, doves, wrens, blue jays, woodpeckers and owls. Thanks to its
healthy population of birds, it is an important birding area as
designated by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">National Audubon Society</span>. <br />

Gifted by Japan to American as an act of friendship, the garden symbolizes the post-war peace between the two countries. At the time of its construction, it was the first to showcase such a deep combination of Japanese contemporary art against an American backdrop. Small as it may be, it is a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown Philly. There are guides available to take groups around the attraction and much is explained throughout the tour. The traditional 17th-century Japanese house and garden in Fairmount Park serves well over 30,000 visitors annually, while its Nio-Mon Temple Gate, also known as the ‘Japanese Pagoda’ and lotus pond, are absolute show-stealers. If you’re keen, the establishment offers garden workshops, lessons on tea-drinking and ceremonies, Taiko lessons for kids and adults, and classical Japanese dance lessons are also available all year round. </big></div>

Bartram went on to develop both the home and garden as a part of his hobby and lifestyle, and the garden, today, is the oldest surviving botanic garden of its kind in the United States. The garden offers free admission for all and is open all year round except for City-observed holidays. Apart from reliving history through the tours, there are special events like its annual spring plant sale, Mother’s Day event, and greens sales held at its 46-acre grounds. The guides would happily share nuggets of information about the garden, history of the Bartram family and Philadelphia, while you unwind with a walk along Schuylkill River. During warmer weathers, patrons can sign up for a river cruise to the Bartram’s Garden to and from Philly city center. </big></div>

You don’t have to be religious in order to enjoy the beauty and architecture of these buildings. In <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">Philadelphia</a>, there are many religious places to visit, not just for worship but for its ornate and interesting architecture. Many of these religious places are part of the National Historic Landmark and rightfully so as they are built a long time ago and is part of Philadelphia’s history. You can hop on and off your Philly rental bus to get to these places.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
If you would like to see the only synagogue designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, then you should head over to the Beth Shalom Congregation, a Conservative synagogue located in the suburb of Elkins Park in Philadelphia. Did you know that Beth Shalom actually means House of Peace in Hebrew? If you take a look at the architecture, you would notice that despite being built in 1953, the synagogue has a very modern look to it. It has inclined walls which are pretty steep and its translucent look comes from the fiberglass and plastic materials made to build it. During the day, the translucent walls are lighted by natural sunlight, while in the night, the entire building glows from the inside out by artificial lighting. Right in front of the synagogue, you will find a laver which is a fountain worshippers use to wash their hands before a sacrifice or service.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On the east side of Logan Circle in Philadelphia, you will find an impressive Roman Catholic cathedral called the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. This is the head church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Philly and designed by Napoleon LeBrun. Built from 1846-1864, this is the largest Catholic church in Pennsylvania and is also listed in the US National Register of Historic Places. This cathedral is a sight to behold from afar. Modelled after the Lombard Church of St Charles in Rome, the cathedral features a grand facade and a vaulted dome, with ornate main altar and oversized apse of stained glass and red antique marble.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Moving over to Appletree Street, you will find Saint Clement’s Church, a Episcopal church designed by John Notman. Another two churches designed by the same man stands within a few blocks from each other - the Church of the Holy Trinity and Saint Mark’s Church. Although these three churches are designed by the same man, they are built and designed differently. Both Saint Clement’s Church and the Church of the Holy Trinity features a Romanesque Revival style and made entirely of brownstone, while the Saint Mark’s Church was built in the Gothic Revival style. So, do go by this area to view all three churches to see the differences in style and architecture, all designed by the same man.</div>

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There is always a sprinkling of fun to be had in Philly when fall arrives. The weather is fantastic in October and this year, it is no different. Heading out means getting the chance to enjoy cool and crisp air all around where there will be plenty of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables freshly picked from farms and plantations around the city. Fall also means more festivals and outdoor events too, so, you will be really spoilt for choice if you are coming over this month with a rented <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">charter bus Philadelphia</a> vehicle. Renting out a reliable charter bus for your trip means you will get to enjoy all the festivals and events without having to worry about driving, finding your way, parking and traffic.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The hues of brown, green and orange is abound at these events simply because this is the color of fall. Tens of thousands of people come in from different parts of the country and the world just to enjoy the phenomenal atmosphere at these Philly events and we think you are blessed to be given the chance to enjoy them too.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In October, one of the events that will be rolling out will be the Harry Potter Weekend where people from all walks of life, whether they are Harry Potter fans or not, get to indulge in a fantasy of their own, something that they have only read and heard about in books, films and online. Aside from the Harry Potter weekend, visitors can also look forward to the colorful and enchanting Philadelphia International Dragon Boat Festival where these uniquely designed ancient Chinese sea vessels hash it out at sea while supporters and visitors will cheer them on in the bright display of sportsmanship.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And it is, after all, October and it would be weird if Pumpkinfest didn’t happen. This year, the event’s been pulled up earlier than thought, on October 5, but the events remains to be fun and entertaining all the same. The event will roll out on 6th and Race Street so, if you are keen to be a part of that fun, remember to put it into your calendar. The event is also a fund-raising yearly event for the maintenance of Philadelphia’s parks, and we all know how passionate Philly locals are about protecting their green lungs.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Another fun Philly event some of our charter bus PA customers are really looking forward to would be the Hawthorne’s Ales for Tails Block Party which is said to be set for October 12th. The 11th Street will be closed and shut off for the awesome breweries to showcase their best drinks while raising money for PAWS.</div>

And if you are looking to visit a few places while you are in PA, don’t forget to make a trip to the Christ Church as part of your “to visit” list.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Alternatively, you can also opt to walk (if you don’t want the PA bus driver to send you, that is) to the Christ Church grounds after your visit to the Independence Hall, as it is walking distance from there. Christ Church is a beautiful building with an amazing history. As you enter into the church, you will notice that they have a small gift shop where you can purchase some unique and memorable items to bring home with you. You will not be at lost when you are in the church itself because they have many volunteers inside who are ever ready to speak to you and share with you the history of the church as well as some of the things or questions that you may have about the bible or God. The volunteers make you feel warm and welcome as they take you around the church and share stories of the church with you.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Inside the church, you will also see a beautiful organ and a bell that some will tell you that it could even pre-date the Liberty Bell. Find out where George Washington and Benjamin Franklin used to sit when they came for the church services into this very same church that you are visiting and sit on the pews where they sat. Christ Church is not just a tourist spot; they are also serving the congregation on Sundays – with two sessions, one at 9 o’clock in the morning and another at 11 o’clock in the morning. And if you happen to be visiting on a Sunday, it would be a great idea to join in their worship celebration too. They are open for visitors to visit from Mondays to Saturdays, from 9am till 5pm. However, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in the months of January and February, January 1, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving and Christmas days. Hence, as you plan your visit to Philadelphia in a rented bus and want to include a visit to the Christ Church, do take note of the dates and days that they are closed, so that you will not be disappointed when you arrive at the grounds of the church only to find that the doors are closed.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10173120291646952532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884064559291084580.post-18233760889913299302013-05-13T07:20:00.002-07:002013-05-13T07:20:48.447-07:00Cycling in Philadelphia<br />
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Philadelphia has a number of tourist attractions that attract rental bus visitors, from Independence Hall, where the first Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, to the Art Museum, made famous in the movie 'Rocky,' and the Liberty Bell, now housed in the National Constitution Center. However, the City of Brotherly Love has plenty of room in its heart for cyclists as well, and professional cyclists will feel at home in Philadelphia. Plan a trip to Philadelphia during cycling season with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus rented from Bus Rentals Philadelphia. </div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In 2012, the city celebrated the 28th Philadelphia International Championship. The course of the 156-mile race winds through some of Philadelphia's most iconic places, as cyclists pass the Art Museum on the Ben Franklin Parkway and challenge themselves to the steep inclines in the Manayunk neighborhood, a portion of the race affectionately called the Manayunk Wall. The day also includes a 57-mile course for professional female cyclists. <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">Philadelphia rental bus </a>visitors may remember the race by its original title, the CoreStates Bike Race, named after its corporate sponsor. Sponsorship has changed hands several times over the years.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The Gran Fondo Philadelphia takes brings the tradition of Italian cycling to Philadelphia with its long-distance events that are open to thousands of riders. Many professional cyclists take part in the race, but it is also open to skilled hobby cyclists, many of whom opt to use a rental bus as a support vehicle. There are three loops, so registrants can choose between courses stretching 108, 73, and 33 miles. All riders wear a timing chip to ensure accurate scoring results.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Professional-grade racing bikes are available in a number of Philadelphia-area cycling shops. These shops almost always do maintenance and care as well, as these bikes cost thousands of dollars, so riders want to keep them in top form. Companies like Performance Bicycle, Elite Bicycles and Trophy Bikes sell well known brands of racing bikes, but also cater to other interests as well, like mountain biking and commuting. Several shops also have bicycles for rent to rental bus visitors.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Philadelphia has cold, sometimes snowy winters that make races difficult to hold from about November through March, so expect most events to take place spring through fall, and plan your rental bus trip accordingly. Also, most races for both professionals and amateurs take place rain or shine. However, rain can make the route slick and dangerous, so even if you lose your registration free by not participating, it is better to opt out than do a course in conditions that you feel will compromise safety.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
A rental bus from Bus Rentals Philadelphia is a great way to visit Philadelphia during cycling season. Bus Rentals Philadelphia can accommodate any rental bus group transport need, whether it to visit a race, or transport an entire cycle race team in a rental bus.</div>

There are major openings, events and exhibitions in Philadelphia and if that does not give you reason enough to head over with your rented charter bus, tour bus, or mini bus, we don’t know what will. </span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The kids are going to fall absolutely head over heels in love with what the Philadelphia Zoo has added to their family of animals and also the touch-ups done to the education center. The zoo have decided to spice things up for the kids by unveiling a brand new KidZooU which turns out to be a revamped education center and academy that aims at educating the little ones. The Hamilton Family Children’s Zoo ad Faris Family Education Center recreated the reimagined children’s zoo which will remain open all year round. Sure, you will get the usual petting zoo animals like sheeps, ducks, chickens, horses butterflies but the management are quick to let visitors know that there are two climbing towers for the goats and kids (one each). On top of teaching the kids about the animals and the livelihood of animals like the Australian parakeets and coral reef fishes, they will also teach the kids how to champion environmental causes and how they can conserve energy and protect endangered animals. </span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Grownups may not like the sound of the word ‘bugs’ but we are quite sure that it is going to be a whole different story with the kids. From April 1, 2013 till August 31, 2013, the Morris Arboretum will host the Big Bugs exhibition. At the exhibition, kids (and grownups alike), can get up close and personal with works of art from popular sculptor, Dave Rodgers. Rodgers created the exhibition pieces using tree samplings, branches, and many other forest materials! It will surely be an eye-opener as the renowned sculptor tries to get creative when creating his praying mantis, spider, lady bird exhibits for the Big Bugs exhibition. </span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">And when you are done with the Big Bugs show, <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">bring the rented charter bus to PHS Philadelphia Flower Show</a> from March 2 till 10, 2013 where the Great Britain blooms will be getting the spotlight. The English have their own sophisticated way of gardening and the show’s aim is to share their ideas and tradition with the folks of Philadelphia. The show is more than just a flower show because here, visitors are given a rare glance into the recreation of the Big Ben Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel and how about getting up close and personal with Mad Hatter’s tea party?</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10173120291646952532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884064559291084580.post-88711981299159755462012-12-28T11:30:00.000-08:002012-12-28T11:30:01.092-08:00The Old City<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Philadelphia is an exciting city that is steeped in American history. A good way to visit Philadelphia, and its environs, is with a charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coaches or school bus rented from Bus Rentals Philadelphia. </span><strong style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All contained within a square mile, the Old City of Philadelphia contains much of the history of pre-independence America. Within the Old City you will find lots of shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and clubs, and not forgetting the many historic buildings and locations where the United States came into being.</span><strong style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Taking a rental bus into Philadelphia’s Old City, you will find Independence Hall. Formerly known as the Pennsylvania State House, it is arguably the most historic building in the United States, this is the place where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, and where the U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787. You can take a tour of the interior, and view the exact desk and chair where the founders of the United States signed the Declaration of Independence.</span><strong style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Another much loved symbol of American freedom is the Liberty Bell.

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
April 15, 1912 may have been just another ordinary day for many people but for thousands of people who were on Titanic, the world's largest ship, the events that unfolded before their disbelieving hearts and minds changed their lives forever. As the world watched and learned more about the sinking of the ship, hearts were broken and confidence were shaken. For more than a thousand and five hundred people, they perished along with the ship. The never-to-be-forgotten event got a lot of exhibitions, events, websites and memorials going as emphatic people from many other parts of the world poured their heart-felt messages, help and aid for people who were affected by it.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
You can be a part of it too if you are in Philadelphia for a bus rentals tour this fall and winter because there is going to be Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition held at the Franklin Institute in remembrance the lives that were lost and in honor those who were lucky enough to survive.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
So, what can you expect from the exhibition? There will be more than three hundred artifacts retrieved from the site of the wrecked ship including kitchenware discovered near the sunk ship, currency from different countries, and they even recovered someone's perfume bottle too. While there is little we can do for the victims, we, as concerned bus rentals tour visitors, can have a closer look at these collections in poignant remembrance of the victims.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The exhibition organizers aims to educate people about more than just the people who were affected by the fateful event but the exhibition will also touch a little about how the ship was built and the technology behind it. This is significant because a hundred years ago, high-tech technology was not yet available. And if you have watched Titanic the movie, you would love experiencing the 'staircase' or even reenacting your own scene too. We can't wait for you to make your way there for a <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">Philadelphia bus rentals holiday</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The exhibition is open during the day time from Monday through to Wednesday for $29 per person ($22 for children under 12; it is free for babies and toddlers). On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, night visits are only $19.50 per person and $14.50 for the kids. So, if you have the time during this fall, head over to Franklin Institute for a look-around in your rented bus rentals charter.</div>

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
You may not think of Philadelphia as a city filled with creative people who constantly comes up with art-related work, music or anything else that can be internationally-renowned masterpieces but let's just say that there ARE creative people in the design filed in Philadelphia. In fact, there is an organization called Design Philadelphia which regularly organizes events in and around Philadelphia every year which celebrates the innovation of design in Philadelphia. They attract throngs of visitors every year and those who come to the said events in groups will usually come using reliable charter bus, rental charters, party bus, school bus or the schools will ferry small school-going children with mini bus.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Bus Rentals Philadelphia is happy to help bring them to events like Design Philadelphia every year.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Design Philadelphia may organize the events only every year in October but in actuality, they have been supporting programs that runs all around the year and they sponsor many other similar programs too. Their focus is loosely focused on fashion design, interior design, graphic design and also building architecture too. So, as you can see, because of the large spectrum and topic that they cover, the event is usually a large and exciting one and they usually come using Bus Rentals Philadelphia transportation.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The event proves that you do not need to go all the way to New York City or Los Angeles in order to be involved in the creative industry and the aim is to prove is that <a href="http://busrentalsphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">Philadelphia is not design-dead</a>. The locals would hate to think that after the civil war, it will continue to be thought of as the 'workshop of the world' and is focused on manufacturing. No, that is not true and they are trying very hard to break out of that mold.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There are so many sides to Philadelphia that is really worth exploring in your bus rentals Philadelphia vehicles, apart from historical sites and mills and abandoned factories. Let's just give Philadelphia folks the chance to show you their creative side by visiting events like Design Philadelphia. Let Bus Rentals Philadelphia show you around Philadelphia.</div>
