Philadelphia

The largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia was founded on October 27, 1682, by William Penn. It is known as the “City of Brotherly Love” because “Philadelphia” is Greek for “brotherly love”. It is home to such major league sports teams as the 76ers, Phillies, Flyers, and the Super Bowl LII Champion Eagles. Philadelphia is also home to the monumental Liberty Bell.

Pittsburgh

Known as “the Steel City” due to the steel factories of the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Pittsburgh was a huge contributor of steel during World War II, producing 95 million tons of steel. The city is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers, where they meet to form the Ohio River. While the city is historically known for its steel industry, today it is largely based on healthcare, education, and technology. It is home to such major league sports teams as the Steelers, who have won an NFL-record six Super Bowls, as well as the Pirates and Penguins.

The railroad is one of the four railroad properties in the classic English-language version of the Monopoly board game. During the general decline of heavy manufacturing, Reading was one of the first localities where outlet shopping became a tourist industry.
