REDDING is how you pronounce Reading.

Check out spelling and pronunciation of Rodin as well. BTW, most of his work was in bronze, so many casts of each were made. (There are ~28 casts of The Thinker around the world.)

Just pushed it up my bucket list. Thanks.

Looks like you had a remarkable day. I have truly been enjoying this series and thanks for sharing

Hey Zach!! I from Philly born and raised, although I did live in Charlotte for a few years😊 Anywhoo I normally watch your cruise videos, but this popped up on my recommended. I did not know that that stautue was called the Washington monument. I'm 55 and when I was in elementary school we took several trips to old city/independence hall and a copy the declaration of independence was in Philly back then. I never knew it was moved. Looks like you enjoyed yourself 😊

Hey Annette, thanks so much for watching! I enjoyed Philly so much. I’m a sucker for a historical site so I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

The first Continental Congress was not held in Independence Hall rather it was held in Carpenters Hall.

What a beautifully edited video wish it was longer! Don’t know if you take recommendations but I would love to see Boston next

I'm glad I found this video! I visited Philly awhile back and it was nice to see some of the areas I never got to. I went to visit friends and they took us around. Sadly, I didn't get to see the prison. I know you edited out the times when you took breaks and got food, but in future "In a Day" videos, I'd love to see your top choices for a quick meal and a short rest stop! These are great for people interested in the top sites to see in any given place. Thanks for the shot of the Liberty Bell! That brings back memories. Dang I wish you'd gotten a Philly Steak Sandwich!

You’re correct in your pronunciation. The market’s, and terminal’s, name are from the town in Pennsylvania also called Reading.

You're correct. It's named after Reading PA, which is named after Reading England.

The pieces at the Rodin are original. He made two castings. Both originals which also goes for the pieces actually in the Rodin museum.

My compliments on an excellent job getting through the city and seeing a lot of what there is to offer in Philadelphia.. I offer this praise, as someone who's been a tour guide in the city for over a dozen years. Hit me up before you come back in town and I'll be glad to show you a few of the things you missed. I have to ask if you would allow me to use some of the beautiful 4K footage you've shared here on my own channel. It is Philadelphia centric channel and still very small so I wouldn't be a competition for your audience and it would be my pleasure to thank and credit you in the description of any and every video, in which I sample your work. Yea or nay, you did a great job, you deserve to be proud, and thank you for showcasing my beloved hometown so expertly. 😁

Came across this at random. After watching you, I decided to try to catch a train to Philadelphia. However, having a hard time finding a hotel within walking distance of the train station that does not have bad reviews. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.

I wish if you can teach people how to travel and live cheaply, because for many, travel is very expensive and it doesnt have to be. Also take in mind safety, which should not be compromised. Details on cost of accomodation, car/vehicle cost, food and plane/train tickets would be greatly appreciated, and any advice on how to lower these costs to become quite affordavle without compromising on quality.

There's a lot of "in between" neighborhoods you wouldn't want to walk through if you're White. Some nice areas but they are generally surrounded by some not so very nice which are far larger and dangerous. I am from Philly area but not deluded as to its ups and downs. In the late 80's I had objects thrown at my vehicle as well as a myriad of racial slurs hurled my way on Stenton Ave for being White. Also, there are NO Norsemen in Norristown and absolutely NO Germans in Germantown. They are also places you'll probably want to avoid, as my brother was shot at in Germantown for his ethnicity.
