A blogger grapples with why the city is so compelling - pics of his walk through it are on his site.

I realize that what many of you out there know it as "Filthadelphia" but I still love the city, and Philadelphia none the less. The city is very dynamic place, for that matter <SPAN>is it a place</SPAN>. Our suburbs are not places in that they do not draw people to them for the sake of seeing them. I have yet to have someone call me and say "let's go to Cherry Hill, I haven't been there in a while." If they did I would get them help. A city offers us something, whether that be a museum, market, or store, that a suburb cannot. Philadelphia in particular offers all of the above and so much more; sculptures, fountains, architecture, history, murals, and of course people. Jane Jacobs talked about the 'eyes on the street', that with many people on the street they are inherently safer and more civilized.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D631FE5D-9751-40E8-8E85-FF6CD72E1150/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
