    Hidden facts about Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.

    If one loves the United States one should love Philadelphia, in my opinion, as it was where the Declaration of Independence from Britain was signed. I admit, I do not think I've been to Philadelphia or if I have I was too young to fully remember, but I try to live vicariously through others experiences by reading about Philadelphia, and I even listen to Philadelphia radio stations on iHeart. All of the books titled Secret and a specific city are good works, and they inform you of things some locals may not even know. To anyone like me who holds Philadelphia near and dear to their heart, I recommend the purchase of this book.
