Philadelphia is rich with history. After all, it was a major hot spot for our forefathers – it’s the home of the Liberty Bell, the Declaration of Independence and (fun fact) home of the very first Republican National Convention in 1856. Are we missing anything? Oh yeah – it’s the birthplace and home of …
