Philadelphia 2021 - A City on the Comeback

summersm343 · #1 Posted **Jan 3, 2022, 9:55 PM**

Hey All -

It's that time of year again for me to compile photos I've taken throughout the year of my hometown, Philadelphia, and the surrounding Greater Philadelphia Region. While this was a better year overall than 2020, there were still many challenges for many people. And while Philadelphia does still have it's problems from COVID and before, the overall feel and energy in Philadelphia is that it's a city on a fierce comeback. Anyhow, sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy the adventure of Philadelphia in 2021.

Another high-rise nearly completed in downtown core? wow

SouthCentralPA · #3 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 2:01 AM**

Great photos! I enjoyed all of them.

There's lots of places in Philly I still need to explore!

El Duderino · #4 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 2:13 AM**

summers, this is quite the journey through the region. wonderful job capturing so much of what it has to offer and for showing off how many different towns are so walkable.

also, i need to eat some fries asap.

OhioGuy · #5 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 2:54 AM**

Awesome collection of photos! I enjoyed it all! (except the Phillies photo, go Nats!

)

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for the wonderful tour.

Smuttynose1 · #7 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 3:11 AM**

Beautiful photos summersm! Philly is looking good. So many cool looking restaurants and bars to check out. Also great to see so much of the outlying/ suburban areas.

PurpleWhiteOut · #8 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 5:13 AM**

Beautiful! Even living here, this makes me want to visit lol

Murphy de la Sucre · #9 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 9:14 AM**

Welcome back!

hauntedheadnc · #10 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 11:47 AM**

I can dig it.

nice collection of shots! Honestly, maybe I am bias, but the stone architecture of Germantown really is so unique and awesome.

The three words that most come to mind viewing this a second time:

Comprehensive
Appetizing
Invigorating

You've done your city good.

EastSideHBG · #13 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 6:52 PM**

Great stuff!

PhilliesPhan · #14 Posted **Jan 4, 2022, 6:55 PM**

What a great collection of photos! As someone who grew up in the city during the 2000s and lives in Fairmount, Philly is looking as good as ever. The contrasts between what the city looks like now compared to even five years ago are striking. This album makes me excited to be going out to buy a home in the city with my fiancee (most likely in Northwest Philly) this year!

Also, Sampan and Emmy Squared are excellent restaurants! I need to make it my mission to try Wm. Mulherin's Sons, Standard Tap, and the White Dog Cafe this year.
