I am gonna get flak for this , but ...
Even though the US History lesson is there , I have to say that I have remarked often to my friends how unfriendly I found Philadelphia to be .
Pushing , shoving , a few rude folks , really soured me .
Probably due to the concentration of people .
On the other hand we thoroughly enjoyed Gettysburg , the Amish communities , York , Hershey , etc..
We mostly spent our time in the smaller communities of course and thoroughly enjoyed that .
We have travelled in 44 of the 50 states .
We spent a lot of time on that trip in Chicagoland , Boston , DC , for the big cities .
Of the big cities I was disappointed with Philly the most .
