BROTHERLY LOVE £ 4m t was founded upon a Quaker ideal of religious tolerance and personal free- dom. It was to be a greene countrie towne where people could live peace- fully with one another. It was to be a community of brotherly love. This was founder William Penn ' s dream in 1682 for Philadelphia. Today, three hundred years later, Philadelphia has grown into one of the most unique and fascinating cities in the United States. It is a city of vision, looking to the future, while always nuturing its intimate relationship with the past. Take a minute to read this Philadelphian ' s brief, personal perspective toward his great city in its Tricentennial year. Historically, Philadelphia is the richest city in the United States. The birthplace of a nation, as it has been called, it is the host of numerous historical sites. Independence National Park is perhaps the most famous. There is no single square mile in the entire country that can stir the spirits from the past of so many prominent personages and significant events.

In the words of Mayor William Green, To everyone it is a unique showplace of history, architecture, art and craftsmanship from a former age. During the nineteenth century the foundations were laid for making Philadelphia the cultural and entertainment center it is today. The Academy of Music was constructed in the 1850 ' s at its present location on Broad and Locust Streets. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first zoological garden of its kind, opened in 1874 on the west side of the Schuyl- kill River in Fairmount Park. By then, the park itself had expanded its boundaries to encompass the scenic banks of the Schuylkill. Drives were leveled on both sides of the river to enable coaches and strollers alike to fully appreciate the beauty of the City of Brotherly Love.
