And what city would be complete without professional sports to rouse community spirit? Home to the Phillies, the Eagles, the Flyers and the 76ers, there is certainly no lack of sporting events in this city. But for those who aren't content sitting on the sidelines, Philadelphia's Franklin Institute offers "The Sports Challenge." A collection of 12 interactive devices and four virtual-reality experiences, visitors can test their athletic aptitude at skiing, surfing or rock climbing without taking any physical risk. The exhibit also features equipment and uniforms donated from athletes like Shaquille O'Neal and Larry Bird. With a city this hardworking and hard-playing, keeping you on-the-go is on Philadelphia's itinerary. Any mix of buses, trolleys, subways, and elevated and high speed train lines will get you to a destination without a problem - and they allow you to live in a place that suits your own tastes and interests. At the end of the day, Philadelphia boasts a metropolitan population of five million unique souls. Representatives of all walks of life fill this city's 111 distinct neighborhoods. Add to that the hundreds of boroughs, townships and municipalities just outside the city limits, and there's never a shortage of good company. This city has come a long way in the last decade as it's focused on rejuvenating and reinventing itself. Today, it is considered one of the finest examples of urban revitalization in the nation. By our best estimates, it looks like Philadelphia has it all. (Did we mention authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches?) Consider this: if it was good enough for the likes of Benjamin Franklin and Rocky Balboa, you'll most likely be happy here, too. For more information on life in Greater Philadelphia, go to:
