J. Slyhoff Features Welcome to Philadelphia YO! What city is home to the oldest law firm in the U.S.? Where were ice cream, licorice and bubble gum invented? Where was the first U.S. law library? What city held the first Thanksgiving Day parade? In what city was the first subscription library opened? Where was the first ballroom and dancing academy located in the U.S.? What city is host to the 2000 AALL Annual Meeting? The answer? PHILADELPHIA! Otherwise known as Philly! More Further Afield From Philadelphia Philadelphia, Cradle of Liberty, is also "The City That Loves You Back". So, after you've experienced all of the history and culture that our city offers, there are still plenty of other diversions. More BON JOUR PHILADELPHIE or "A Taste of France Walking Tour of Philadelphia" A cornucopia of Philadelphia architecture, artwork, history, business, and restaurants blend to create a French style ambience in the center of Philadelphia. Evoke the French experience by taking a stroll down our version of the Champs-Elysees, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, named after the Eighteenth Century colonial statesman and ambassador to France. More Philadelphia: Leadership Starts Here The concept of leadership has been demonstrated repeatedly in the history of Philadelphia, whether in the areas of politics (from the Declaration of Independence and First Continental Congress through recent Mayor Ed Rendell and the 2000 Republican Convention), finance (first stock exchange, life insurance fund, bank, and U.S. Mint), education (William Penn Charter School, the nation's first law school) publishing (first daily newspaper, evolving into the present-day Philadelphia Inquirer) law, medicine, or entertainment.
