This is silly...Seattle is in no way head and shoulders above Philadelphia as a city. Philly has world-class museums, architecture, history and nightlife. Not to mention it has always been larger and more diverse than Seattle.
Seattle is a great city, but it's really only come into its own the past 20 years or so. Both places are fine for what they are, but not very comparable. But hey, who am I to argue with "Taiwainese media"?
IGNOR him. He makes account after account just to bash Philly. He always post lies and stupid things. And everytime I post facts and respond the mods block my post.. It's getting stupid and old really.
Philly is a more historical city with world class museums . Seattle is a modern city with world class rated modern museums Americas Car Museum , E.M.P Museum , Museum Of Flight and Space , Chilluy Glass Museum . All top rated in the world . Guess it depends on what your interested in the past or the future.
Comparing Seattle to Philadelphia in regards to urban attributes is completely unfair to Seattle. Two completely different tiers/stratospheres. We are comparing one of the usa's great cities to a 20th century hybrid city/suburb/nature resort. Where would you rather live is a subjective matter and not a terribly interesting topic to me personally. Just for the record I like that Seattle has some urban fabric to it but it will take another 200 years to catch up to Philadelphia.
Yeah, there's no question Philadelphia has a huge edge over Seattle in architecture. But there is no "catching up" for Seattle... it just will never have that kind of history and urban fabric that Philadelphia already contained and developed. Which is all right... Seattle will just march to its own beat and Philadelphia will reclaim its glory.
Definately Philadelphia for history. Architecturally it's beautiful. But Seattle was a nice change for me from the old historic east coast vibe I was so use to.
