We will be having the Reunion in Philly of course. We know many of you have moved away, so there is a lot of information on this page to help you get reaquainted with this great city. We have reserved a block of rooms for this reunion (click on Accomodations) and mentioned some Things To Do in Philly. Click around for restaurants and more.
The Declaration of Independence was written, signed and first publicly read here in 1776, as was the US Constitution ten years later. Philadelphia was also a hotbed of new ideas in the arts and sciences, as epitomized by the scientist, philosopher, statesman, inventor and printer Benjamin Franklin .
Philadelphia, which translated from Greek means "City of Brotherly Love," is in fact one of the most ethnically mixed US cities, with substantial communities of Italians, Irish, Eastern Europeans and Asians living side by side among the majority black population.
