This area is so fun to live in, because not only are the people extremely nice, but this city of Philadelphia has incredible historic significance. Our city is also very fun because there are a lot of parks, fountains, stores, and our city holds the first zoo built in the United States. More specifically, in our suburbs of Philadelphia, there are parks, malls, swimming pools, and movie theaters. These are all very popular to our generation here in Philadelphia.
