WSJ Article on Philly

Insider's Guide to Philadelphia |Journal Concierge - WSJ.com

A little late to discovering us, especially since they are in NYC and New York Times already called us the fifth borough. But nice to see a positive write up of our city in what is an international paper.

EVEN IN THE most historically significant of cities, the past can get a little…well, old. Despite being the home of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, Philadelphia is managing to avoid that fusty, dusty state. Over the past several years, in fact, an influx of creative energy has transformed this town into an art-centric, food-focused metropolis. Even that antique bell has a glossy new home that infuses Philly's colonial past with some 21st-century cool.

I kept waiting for someone to say something ridiculous, but it was actually a pretty impressive write-up. Denise Scott Brown's recs are beautifully written.
