CITY FOCUS | PHILADELPHIA

Indeed , liberty , freedom , choice and independence are all of significant importance within Philadelphia . Whilst it remains the home to a large African American and Puerto Rican community , as well as European immigrants who settled in the city in the 19th century , it is renowned for its key role within the abolition of slavery and the increased demands for social and economic rights for all citizens . The city ’ s colonial past is still heavily reflected in its architecture , as well as its artistic flair and , of course , its famous culinary delights , all of which local citizens are immensely proud . From a Philadelphia cheese steak to oyster crackers and desserts , famous indoor market Reading Terminal , the city ’ s oldest farmers market , provides an array of local dishes which all depict its colorful background .
