when I look at pictures of the original brick rowhouses from around 1790. The only thing that is different is that Boston's streets are somewhat hilly compared to Philly's very flat Center City.
I keep seeing ads about the Phila celebrations coming this year and everything is "the first this and the first that" (hospitals, libraries, etc) and I lived across the street from "the first animal refuge in the country", The Morris Animal Refuge. I volunteered there and they are in my trust since it was the happiest time in my life. 
If I went and visited Philly now I wouldn't recognize it. When I left City Hall was the tallest building in the city.
