Happy July 4th Philly!
Independence Day makes Historic Philadelphia, Inc. happy. See the full lineup of festivities here:
PHILADELPHIA THE LARGEST CITY IN PENNSYLVANIA SIX MOST POPULOUS CITY IN USA.
Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania, sixth-most-populous city in the United States and the fifty-first most populous city in the world.[3]
In 2008, the population of the city proper was estimated to be more than 1.54 million,[4] while the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area's population of 5.8 million made it the country's fifth largest. The city, which lies about 80 miles (130 km) southwest of New York City,[5] is the nation's fourth-largest urban area by population and its fourth-largest consumer media market, as ranked by the Nielsen Media Research.
It is the county seat of Philadelphia County, with which it is coterminous. Popular nicknames for Philadelphia include Philly and The City of Brotherly Love, from the literal meaning of the city's name in Greek (Greek: Φιλαδέλφεια ([pʰilaˈdelpʰeːa], Modern Greek: [filaˈðelfia]) brotherly love, compounded from philos (φίλος) love, and adelphos (ἀδελφός) brother).
A commercial, educational, and cultural center, Philadelphia was once the second-largest city in the British Empire[6] (after London), and the social and geographical center of the original 13 American colonies. It was a centerpiece of early American history, host to many of the ideas and actions that gave birth to the American Revolution and independence. It was the most populous city of the young United States, although by the first census in 1790, New York City had overtaken it. Philadelphia served as one of the nation's many capitals during the Revolutionary War and after. After the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the city served as the temporary national capital from 1790 to 1800 while Washington, D.C., was under construction

How to Visit Philadelphia with an RV: Liberty, Cheesesteaks, and Rocky - Traveling Robert
We find an unusual RV Park in the middle of Philadelphia. We see many of the obligatory historic sites including a bucket list visit to the Independence Hall. We join long time viewer Rob, from South Philly, and he shows us his home town from his own perspective, including eating some authentic Philly cheesesteak. We also follow in Rocky Balboa's footsteps, literally and climb the steps of the Art Museum. We finally get a panoramic view of the city from the Liberty One Observation Deck.

The Haunting of Independence Hall (Philadelphia) - Our Haunted Travels
The Haunting of Independence Hall (Philadelphia)
Sit back my friends and listen to the haunting of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Independence Hall is the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The building was completed in 1753 as the colonial legislature (later Pennsylvania State House) for the Province of Pennsylvania and was used in that capacity until the state capital moved to Lancaster in 1799. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787.
A convention held in Independence Hall in 1915, presided over by former US president William Howard Taft, marked the formal announcement of the formation of the League to Enforce Peace, which led to the League of Nations and eventually the United Nations. The building is part of Independence National Historical Park and is listed as a World Heritage Site.
Ghost Stories and Folklore are Paranormal History that will cover the paranormal claims at the particular locations. On occasion, we may deviate from a location and provide some sort of creepy pasta or urban legend video. These videos are narrated by our mascot Boris to add that special creepy effect to the videos. So sit back, listen, and enjoy. You can see the complete catalog of Ghost Stories and Folklore Videos we have at:
PANICd Paranormal History - Our Haunted Travels is a series of Paranormal History that we provide the history of the location, the ghost stories and folklore, the paranormal claims, our personal experiences, and why we believe the location could be haunted. Be sure to follow along with our adventures where we feature a new location we have visited each week at:

Philadelphia, PA. Real Russia In The US ep.7
Philadelphia, PA is the next city I have visited after New York.
We rented Chevrolet Malibu from the category of “Full Size” cars at Enterprise, located in JFK Airport and in several hours drove to Chester, PA.
Chester, PA is a town not far from Philadelphia where lives Matthew J. He invited us to come and we came.
He gave us a tour around the downtown of Philadelphia. Too bad, the battery of the camera died and we had to get back to film the videos next day. But already without Matt and shiny weather.
However, we have visited Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rocky Balboa Statue, City Hall Station, Hard Rock Cafe and Liberty Bell near Independence Hall.

Historic Philadelphia
Se of the sites in historic Philadelphia.
Philadelphia 2011
A 2-hour drive from New York is historic Philadelphia, which I had visited many times in the past but this time, for the first time, with my lawyer-son and wife and their 2 daughters. Upon arrival, we were lucky to get a nice parking spot at Walnut Street, a block away from Independence Hall.
At Independence Square, we posed beside Robert Morris's monument and the State House. The State House or, as it is popularly known, Independence Hall, was begun in 1732 and considered finished by 1756 as the Pennsylvania State House. In front of the entrance itself is a familiar statue of Washington erected in 1869. Philadelphia schoolchildren, beginning in 1860, gave their pennies to pay for it. We were about to line up here when we were told to get the tickets at the Visitors Center. So off to the Center, passing by Liberty Bell (where we saw a real loooong queue).
At the Independence Visitor Center, we found out that all the tickets to the Independence Hall have run out, and we would have to wait until 5pm when tickets would not be required to visit the Hall. So we decided to make our own walking tour from the Town Hall to Carpenters Hall, to Christ Church, Betsy Ross House, the Quakers Meeting House, and the Row Houses (Todd House and Bishop White House).
Not very far from where we parked, on the corner of 4th and Walnut Streets stands the Todd House, home of Dolly Madison. It was built in 1775 and occupied from 1791 to 1793 by John Todd, Jr., and his wife, Dolly Payne. After Todd's death in the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, she married James Madison, a young Virginia politician who was to become the fourth US President.
Carpenters' Hall was open (free admission) and the exhibits were quite interesting. Here we learned that it also served as the headquarters of the First Bank of the United States in 1791. Others to occupy the venerable rooms include: the Bank of the State of Pennsylvania, United States Custom House, Franklin Institute, Society of Friends, the United States Law Office, the Apprentice's Free Library, the Second Bank of the United States, and the Philadelphia Auction Market. We posed for souvenir photos at John Jay's corner and a the lovely fireplace.
For lunch, we had the original Philly steak sandwiches and Hank's Root Beer at a place near the end of Market Street. And right after lunch, we found our way to Christ Church, known as The Nation's Church because of the famous Revolutionary-era leaders who worshiped here. Christ Church was founded in 1695 during the reign of William and Mary, it was built between 1727 and 1754 when George II was king. It was the first parish of the Church of England (Anglican) in Pennsylvania. It is also the birthplace of the American Episcopal Church. Christ Church, one of America's most historic shrines and as such Philadelphians have always revered it.
Christ Church Burial Ground is one of America's most important Colonial and Revolution-era graveyards, with 1,400 markers on two beautiful acres right in the heart of historic Philadelphia. Located three blocks from the Church, and just across the street from the Visitors' Center, the Burial Ground is the final resting place for some of our most prominent leaders including Benjamin Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Betsy Ross worshiped here and, perhaps, its most important single feature is the font at which William Penn was baptized. It was sent to Christ Church in 1697 from London by All Hallow's Church, Barking-by-the-Tower. The chandelier brought from England in 1744 is still in use as is the wineglass pulpit, made in Philadelphia by John Folwell in 1770. Inside the church memorial tablets line the walls and slabs marking family vaults are beneath our feet.
From Christ Church, we walked so many blocks to get to Betsy Ross House, where we watched performers clad in 18th century period costumes. On the way to the Quakers Meeting House, we passed by James Peniston's statue and posed briefly for a photoshoot.
On Arch Street, midway between 3rd and 4th, we passed by the Friends Meeting House, the main part erected in 1804, the west wing in 1811. The oldest Friends Meeting House still in use in Philadelphia and the largest in the world, it is the site of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, held every spring. But at the time of our visit, it was closed!
Finally, we drove to the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site at 7th Street, about 7 blocks north, and listened to a narration of his Tell Tale Heart. And this is where our one-day trip to Philadelphia ended.
Liberty Bell
The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Formerly placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House (now renamed Independence Hall), the bell was commissioned from the London firm of Lester and Pack (today the Whitechapel Bell Foundry) in 1752, and was cast with the lettering (part of Leviticus 25:10) Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. It originally cracked when first rung after arrival in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. In its early years, the Liberty Bell was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens to public meetings and proclamations.
No immediate announcement was made of the Second Continental Congress's vote for independence, and thus the bell could not have rung on July 4, 1776, at least not for any reason related to that vote. Bells were rung to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776, and while there is no contemporary account of the Liberty Bell ringing, most historians believe it was one of the bells rung. After American independence was secured, it fell into relative obscurity for some years. In the 1830s, the bell was adopted as a symbol by abolitionist societies, who dubbed it the Liberty Bell. It acquired its distinctive large crack sometime in the early 19th century—a widespread story claims it cracked while ringing after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835.

Presidents on July 4: Some chill, some get in your face
WASHINGTON (AP) — Through history, the Fourth of July has been a day for some presidents to declare their independence from the public. They’ve made tracks to the beach, the mountains, the golf course, the farm, the ranch. In the middle of the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was sailing to a Hawaii vacation. It’s also been a day for some presidents to insert themselves front and center in the fabric of it all, as Donald Trump planned to do Thursday with his speechifying and showmanship. Teddy Roosevelt drew crowds in the hundreds of thousands for his oratory and Richard Nixon enraged the anti-war masses without even showing up. In modern times, though, presidents have tended to stand back and let the people party. George W. Bush had a ceremony welcoming immigrants as new citizens. Barack Obama threw a South Lawn barbecue for troops. Trump’s plan to command center stage with his words and American military might has the capital cleaving along political lines. As the anti-Nixon demonstrations of 1970 showed, Independence Day in the capital isn’t always just fun and games. It has a tradition of red, white and boo, too. With protesters making their presence felt Thursday, it is as American as the cherries and milk that apparently soured President Zachary Taylor’s gut when he wolfed them down July 4, 1850, and died five days later. A look at what some presidents have done on the Fourth of July: 1777: On the first anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, with the Revolutionary War underway, future president John Adams describes a day and night of spontaneous celebration in Philadelphia in a letter to his wife, Abigail. After hours of parading troops, fireworks, bonfires and music, he tells her he strolled alone in the dark. “I was walking about the streets for a little fresh air and exercise,” he writes, “and was surprised to find the whole city lighting up their candles at the windows. I walked most of the evening, and I think it was the most splendid illumination I ever saw; a few surly houses were dark; but the lights were very universal. Considering the lateness of the design and the suddenness of the execution, I was amazed at the universal joy and alacrity that was discovered, and at the brilliancy and splendour of every part of this joyful exhibition. ” 1791: Two years after becoming the first president, George Washington celebrates in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, “with an address, fine cuisine, and walking about town,” says the National Park Service . Philadelphia was the interim capital as Washington, D.C., was being readied; Lancaster had hosted the Continental Congress for a quick, on-the-run session during the revolution. 1798: Now president, John Adams reviews a military parade in Philadelphia as the young nation flexes its muscle. 1801: Thomas Jefferson presides over the first Fourth of July public reception at the White House. 1822: James Monroe hangs out at his farm in Virginia. 1826: Adams, the second president, and Jefferson, the t
