What city is unaffected by the recent economic downturns, according to Canadians?
If you think that the cities are failing in bankrupt America, if you think that they are emptying their libraries, darkening their theatres, closing their galleries and shuttering their museums, come to Philadelphia.
In this season of melancholy, this city is a tonic. It isn't playing the victim. Given the economic crisis, you might expect the politicians to send history on holiday and cancel the future. Not here.
This has always been a city of superlatives (the first capital, the first zoo, the first bank, the first university) in the republic of superlatives. It hasn't lost its ambition. Indeed, there is so much new and innovative here that you could wonder if there is a recession at all.
