That sells both men’s and women’s wear further up germantown avenue and you’ll get to joneses owned by stephanie and then go a little further up and you’ll get to tc unlimited all three of those shops are black owned and operated one of the best places to
Take a photo up by day or night is the belmont plateau because you can hurt yourself in any spot and you have the city of philadelphia skyline in the back of you it is by far the best location in the city my favorite country venues i love the
Band and the dell because they are outdoor venues the man is just a perfect evening i like to be under the stars and the acoustics are just fantastic so my favorite philly concert venue is the dell music center eve frankie beverly the oj’s old school hip-hop jazz gospel
Anything that you can think of we have it at the robin hood del e If you want to see alton john or to philadelphia dance company affectionately known as philadelphia or rock or classical to philadelphia orchestra the kimmel center is my favorite concert venue my absolute favorite historical location is right where we are today mother bethel ame church this place represents
History of black religion in the city of philadelphia if you’re here on a sunday and church is happening you need to be here to come worship at mother bethel church and then the philadelphia museum of art is a staple here in the city the barnes museum it’s one of the
Largest collections of african art in the united states of america and the world my favorite museum is the african american museum in philadelphia the african-american museum african-american museum of course the african-american museum it’s a great spot to learn about our history and our culture my favorite historical attraction is the
Constitution center right up the street are the slave quarters outside of independence hall where george washington kept his slaves during the continental congress it’s a place of reflection and it’s a place to remind her of our roles in the founding of this nation the octavius v cato statue was a
Memorial to an african-american educator who was killed during racial violence in the early 1800s he died fighting for voting rights for african-americans is important to me and you know we’re still within that fight and it’s the first statue that’s built on public land to an african american in the city in
Philadelphia alone is a historical attraction you can walk up and down the philly streets and find some piece of history somewhere not only are you getting history not only are you getting views you’re getting culture and quite frankly we have the best food in the country if you ask me
Why not love philadelphia why not come to philadelphia there are so many reasons to come to philadelphia but as african americans this is truly a city that is steeped in our culture it’s a wonderful city filled with neighborhoods and people who have pride in our city philadelphia is a city of first people
Should visit philadelphia because we are literally the birthplace of this nation You
