Philly

I recently went to Philadelphia. Luckily, I stayed for only two days or then I would have been robbed or beaten up multiple times. Philadelphia is supposed to be the "City of Love" but no one cares about each other and everyone is rude. On every street corner and in every park, there are a dozen assorted goons, thugs, and homeless people. Steam constantly gushes out of the sidewalk and it smells bad because the steam is from the sewers. In the places with no steam, there are a bunch of smokers.

It was really hot when I went to Philly and there were people lounging around in the public fountains. It was no surprise that all the coins in the fountains had been picked up. However, there are some nice areas of Philly downtown. The historic section is rather pretty. It has gardens and old houses that are a great relief from the modern sections.

I went to the Philly art Museum, which was also pretty cool. It didn't only have art, it had weapons and suits of armor as well. I believe you had to pay to get in but I accidentally got in for free. The artifacts were pretty cool. They had a variety of different helmets and swords. There was also a medieval art section which was also pretty cool. It had stained glass and paintings with gold leaf and stuff. Besides art, it had reproductions of old houses, old artifacts, and glass ware.
