Have you noticed the rise in Cost of Living? Philadelphia's current position near the top of the inflation rankings is a break from where it sat for most of the post-pandemic period. citydiscuss.com/articles/phila…

@Wolf33641223 @SeaAire01 @ZitoSalena @PAChamber @SenFettermanPA @SenMcCormickPA Sometimes I think I am being clear enough, but I guess not ha. but yes, thank you, that is what I meant. The National Parks Service just spent a lot of money sprucing up all the historic buildings in Old City Philadelphia. People should see them.

@SeaAire01 @CityDiscuss @ZitoSalena @PAChamber @SenFettermanPA @SenMcCormickPA Thats their point Why not visit Indepence Hall instead of this Temu fair Hell the Nations repository of historical artifacts lays outside this in the Smithsonian Institution and our National Archives

Well, well, well, look who's coming to Pennsylvania's booth at the Great American State Fair thanks to the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce for the iconic replica of the Liberty Bell! washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

@mjesuele yep. It's still a good deal compared to some other places, but the long-term trend line shows the gap narrowing

@CityDiscuss Philly is currently still somewhat of an arb for urban living in the US but that’s not going to last much longer.

Every city celebrates July 4th. Only one city is where it happened. Why Philadelphia is the place to be for #America250 citydiscuss.com/articles/there…

@Mphil622544 Yes, but nothing we can do about it now, but still throw the best 4th of July party possible!

@CityDiscuss Yeah it’s really disappointing, would have been a huge thing for the city

Exciting World Cup match. Paraguay is a small country, smaller than the Philly CSA population-wise. I’m excited for them, but cannot help but feel a tinge of disappointment for the city, businesses, and hospitality industry.

@LeslieRR1995 @fiago7 The Germans are planning to come for the game on the 4th. That is IF they win and make it to final 16

@fiago7 Philly to see the history

OH WOW! I didn‘t expect such a strong reaction to this and thank you for all the honest responses, really appreciate this 🙏🏼 any other recommendations for a day trip ~2h around NYC? 🚗

For the first time in decades, the historic First Bank of America in Old City will reopen to the public on July 1, just ahead of America's 250th birthday.

@HOSS_ibc @EricBalchunas Why do you think that? Other than the algorithms telling you USA=BAD?

@EricBalchunas Phila fell off so hard from what it once was.

Back in Philly and so happy to have this buffer day in between vaca and Monday morning grind. That’s key, esp if traveling w kids. Coming back Sunday is playing w fire. Follow me for more life tips and soccer observations.

Boston thinks its Revolutionary history might be better than Philly’s. We think that’s pretty cute. ebx.sh/OBSWLF

For 10 years, a bi-partisan commission planned America 250 to happen in Philadelphia at Independence Hall. The National Park Service redid many of the buildings. All 50 states have contributed to the time capsule. The pope will give a virtual speech. Congress is holding a special session. The World Cup will happen on the night of the fourth. This thing happening in DC was never supposed to be the country’s celebration.

Trump's Great American State Fair on the National Mall opened with power outages and empty booths as many states skipped out on the event. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

The feds just released 2024 green card data. Philadelphia's top source country might surprise you. citydiscuss.com/articles/who-s…

Philly gained a larger portion of central Asian residents than almost every other city in the United States. Additionally, the region continues to be a top landing spot for Liberians.

Lewis Katz once said the city needed this so kids would know who Paul Arizin and Bobby Clarke were. He didn't live to see it. Neither did Ed Snider. But the idea they helped launch becomes real today. After a decade-plus of effort, the first exhibit of the Museum of Sports @MOSPhiladelphia opens today in City Hall @brettmandel citydiscuss.com/articles/phila…

The DC metro lost roughly 100,000 jobs over the past year with no sign of a floor. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia have largely stalled. New BLS data paints a rough picture for the entire Mid-Atlantic
