It's safe to say that Philly doesn't dominate influence like NYC, LA, Chicago or DC does.

It would be one thing if there were still a lot of Quakers around. The area seems to llike to highlight it's historical aspects. Only other thing I see binding together the region is the prominent healthcare industry (couldn't we say that the Valley is the premier medicine economy area in the country?).

There is just nothing to do outside of local conveniences in the PA burbs other than the two big malls. Hell, you can't even get a good piece of pizza in the PA burbs.
