Description

This marvelous collection of more than 400 historic photos assembled by the staff of “The Phila. Inquirer” is a family album of the Phila. century. To outsiders, Phila. is defined by its celebrities: the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Grace Kelly, Bill Cosby, Rocky, Ben Franklin, cheesesteaks. But Philadelphians know it as a city of neighborhoods, of rowhouses spilling out people on summer evenings. This continuity between past and present gives all the photos in this collection the familiarity of a family photo album. And this deluxe paperback edition has a bonus chapter -- The New Millennium -- which picks up where the original edition left off, with a full-color pictorial history of the city’s continued change into the 21st century.
