Philadelphia
Dear Students,
Philadelphia is where I live but to be more specific I live in the Lawncrest section of the Northwest. Philadelphia is made up of different sections. My neighborhood is very quiet unlike other neighborhoods which could be noisy and dangerous. There is a playground, park, and basketball court all up the street from my block. Also around the corner is a Burger King, Rita's Water Ice, and Dunkin Donuts. All throughout Philadelphia a.k.a Philly there are numerous of hot spots where teens have fun or hang out. My favorite hang out is Franklin Mills Mall and Cornbread& coffee. Some other places are Jamz Skating Rink, movie theaters, and the Museum. My deepest concern about Philly is the murder rate. On about the 96th day of the year there were about 100 murders. The saddest part about it is that a lot of babies and children are being innocently killed on a daily basis. Also Philadelphia has many things to after that other cities don't for example our Philly Cheese Steaks and Tasty Cakes that only sold exclusively here in Philly.
Sincerely,
Briana

Dear Students,
The city of Philadelphia also known as the city of brotherly love, where there are popular places like the Wachovia Center, where a lot of famous celebrities and other performers have their concerts. We always have a lot of celebrities stop through. We also have a lot of historic landmarks such as The Liberty Bell, Love Park, the Belsy Ross House, The Philadelphia Art Museum, and many other places. Philadelphia has a lot night clubs for adults and some for teens like, Shampoo, 923, 1310, The Hideaway, and many more. We have a lot shopping malls, movie theaters, and other fun stuff. You could never get bored in Philadelphia. While Philadelphia is mostly known for its cheese-steaks, we also have Tasty cakes. I truly believe that Philadelphia is one of the most wonderful and beautiful cities in the world.

Nicole

Philadelphia
Dear Students,
I like Philadelphia, first of all because I was born and raised here. Second because there is no place like here. There's a lot of black people that live here and there's always people outside. If you were riding down the street or walking your sure to hear some music or kids coming from somewhere close. Although Philly is always booming with excitement it's not really a safe place to be. There is a lot of violence and our city is basically #1 for the most murders. I really love the city. It means a lot to me and it makes up who I am.

Dear Students,
In my opinion the best place to live is Philadelphia, but there are times where it can be the worst. Some of the good things about Philadelphia is that there are a lot of places where you can go eat like McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and any other places that sells junk food. Another good thing about Philadelphia is that all the attractions like Jamz(which is a skating rink), the movies, and the night clubs are all around my way. Also there a lot of national monuments that can be visited.

Dear Students,
Philadelphia isn't the best place but it's better than what most people think of it to be. Philadelphia has many interesting places like the Franklin Institute, Liberty Bell, City Hall, the Gallery and many more. What I like about Philadelphia is that we have corner stores, basketball courts, chesse-steaks, and my favorite fast food restaurant McDonald's. Philadelphia also has a good basketball team which is the Philadelphia 76sers, even though they didn't make the playoffs. Philadelphia is an easy place to get around because of Septa. Which are buses that run routes all over. Philadelphia is kind of bad too, many killings and many people get hurt each night. Also here where I live there hotels and many good sites that you might find interesting.
Sincerely,
Kyle

Dear Student,
There are many things that the city of Philadelphia holds in it. First of all, it has different neighborhoods such as Germantown, North Philly, South Philly, West Philly, and many more. Many celebrities come from Philly like Will Smith, Pink, Patty Label, and many more. We also have places where we call hot spots such as "The Gallery". We also have some great foods that aren't sold in other states and cities such as Tasty Cakes. We also have the best cheese steaks. We also have some bad things about Philadelphia. Even though we are known as the city of brotherly love, there are a lot of killings.
Sincerely,
Aliya
