Our visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Philly The city of brotherly love!
Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love (from Philos, love or friendship, and Delphos, brother) Founded by William Penn, Penn As a Quaker, Penn had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely.
With centuries of culture and personality built up, the breathing city of Philadelphia exemplifies “brotherly or sisterly love” in its own fashion. Its sports fans are known to be the most loyal and passionate in the business, while it’s often a tough love, it’s a love for sure. The music in Philadelphia is one of a kind, and it’s developed historically standout sounds in the hip-hop and indie rock spaces. On top of it all, Philly is a city that shares its cheesesteaks, art museums, festivals, and personalities with all of its visitors, just like a sibling you grew up alongside.
Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and, at the time of the American Revolution, was the largest and most important city in America. Founded by William Penn as a place of religious tolerance, its spirit infused the early steps towards independence.
The first European settlers on the site were Swedes, who established a community at the mouth of the Schuykill not later than 1643. England, however, established its control over the entire region, and in 1681, King Charles II made William Penn a grant of land that became Pennsylvania.
An advance group was sent that year, and Penn followed in 1682. They established Philadelphia in the southeast corner of the colony, following a plan for the town's development. Philadephia's guiding principle was tolerance towards all faiths. Philadelphia attracted people from all over Europe, with such Quakers as Penn especially well represented. The city developed a thriving trade with the West Indies and soon became the largest and most important city in the colonies. It received its city charter in 1701.
Philadelphia's most famous citizen in the 18th century was Benjamin Franklin, widely considered to be one of that century's foremost scientists, in addition to one of the guiding lights of the Revolution. The First and Second Continental congresses were held in Philadelphia, and the city served as the nation's unofficial capital throughout the War of Independence, except for the period between September 26, 1777, and June 18, 1778, when it was held by the British. Following the war, the convention that produced the Constitution (text) was held in Philadelphia.
By the time of the first census in 1790, New York had passed Philadelphia in size. During the first half of the 19th century, important suburbs grew up around Philadelphia, including Kensington, Moyamensing, Northern Liberties, Southwark, and Spring Garden, which ranked among the country's top 100 places in the national census.
By mid-century, Philadelphia had dropped to fourth place in population. In 1854, the Pennsylvania legislature redrew the boundaries of Philadelphia to include the entire county, which boosted the city's population back to second. It held that position until overtaken by Chicago in the census of 1890.
In 1876, Philadelphia hosted one of the country's first international expositions, to commemorate the centennial of the Declaration of Independence. Held at Fairmont Park from May 10 to November 10, the exposition displayed industries from 50 countries.
Philadelphia, cradle of America's dream of freedom, is home to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution (narrative), great documents that cried out, “Let Freedom Ring, like the Liberty Bell. Amidst the ordinary citizens of Philadelphia, gathered in the humble Carpenter's Hall on Chestnut Street, the Colonial Fathers gave voice and life to those freedoms at the First Continental Congress.
Many historic sites in Philadelphia have been restored or rebuilt to help preserve the nation’s heritage as a free people. Providing fitting homage to these places, a place of hallowed ground was sanctified, the Independence National Historical Park. On these grounds is Independence Hall, where the Declaration and the Constitution reside. The home of Betsy Ross still stands on Arch Street.
Philadelphia also is one of America's leading cultural centers. The University of Philadelphia, established in 1740, occupies a 120-acre campus in West Philadelphia. The Academy of Natural Science, the oldest institution of its kind in America, was founded in 1805. The Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest zoological garden in the nation, houses 1,600 rare and exotic animals. The Philadelphia Museum of Art, founded in 1876, displays some of the world's finest Impressionist art. Philadelphia's own Washington Monument stands in front of the art museum as if to guard the collections within.

Albert - World's Largest Bull - Audubon, Iowa
Massive list of money making apps!
Here in the heart of T-Bone Country, famed for its livestock production and Operation T-Bone, stands a gigantic tribute to the nation's beef industry. The statue, built by the Audubon Junior Chamber of Commerce, is a replica of a Hereford Bull - named Albert.
The story of Albert dates back to the early 1950's when local cattle shippers were feeding great numbers of cattle to the prime grade and the best market was in Chicago. Cattle were shipped to market via railroad. Local shippers invited banker Albert (Al) Kruse of First State Bank (now Audubon State Bank) to ride with them but he declined after hearing others tell how drafty and uncomfortable the caboose ride could be on a cold late-fall, early-winter day. But he told them if and when they had a pullman car available on the cattle train, he would be happy to accompany them to the Chicago market. Finally, arrangements were made for the pullman car and soon a trainload of cattle and a pullman car full of shippers and businessmen were signed up for the trip to Chicago. Thus, the first Operation T-Bone was celebrated in 1951.
Operation T-Bone caused more of a stir than was ever thought possible. The Northwestern Railroad, Union Stockyards and Chicago Tribune as well as the London Times all did their share to spread the word about Operation T-Bone. Several changes have occurred over the years, but Operation T-Bone is still celebrated each year in early September.
The idea of Albert was conceived in 1961, but for lack of encouragement, dropped at that time. In 1963 a chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce was organized in Audubon. The plan for Albert was presented to them with the idea that it could be merged with Operation T-Bone to promote the beef industry as a vital factor to the economy of Iowa and the nation. At the same time the huge critter would serve as a much needed tourist attraction for the area.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, overwhelmingly approved the idea. The 108 member group anxiously anticipated the challenge of building the biggest bull in the world. In choosing a name for the bull it seemed only fitting to name him Albert after Albert Kruse who originated Operation T-Bone.
There was one major stipulation in the Jaycee resolution to sponsor the project; that no solicitation of funds be made in the community. The project costs, estimated at $30,000, were financed through various fund-raising activities and donations from agricultural industries across the nation. One of the biggest boosts came from the American Hereford Association which pledged cash and technical assistance. To keep expenses down, the Jaycees scoured the countryside for abandoned windmills and other steel equipment that could be converted into reinforcing material for the platform.
When the platform was completed a rectangular I-Beam structure, the statue's skeleton was erected over the platform. The hide was constructed over the winter months at the Emmert Manufacturing Company in Audubon. The Emmert Company and Jaycee volunteers welded and shaped quarter-inch steel rods into four sections that were fitted over the I-Beam structure. The framework was pieced together much like the construction of a model airplane. The framework was then covered with heavy wire meshing as a base for the concrete coat of the statue.
At this point, the four sections were trucked to the statue site. With most of the Jaycee membership and a flock of townspeople looking on with some apprehension, a giant crane hoisted the sections on to the I-Beam structure. They slid together without a hitch and the labyrinth of rods and wire indeed resembled a mighty big bull!
The first coat of concrete was hand troweled by the Jaycees and volunteers of Schmidt Construction Company with the second and third coats applied with a hose. The inside of the statue also received a coat of concrete. By spraying cement over the metal lathe the Jaycees were able to give the statue's hide a hairlike texture. The painting was completed by Cam Ross Sign Company. It took 65 gallons of paint to cover Albert with the red and white colors of the Hereford breed. The 45 ton statue is authentic right down to his toenails. Albert has a horn span of 15 feet and towers 30 feet above the landscape - making him visible day and night from Highway 71 at the south edge of Audubon, Iowa.
Thousands of tourists enjoy visiting Albert the Bull each year.
