Today's Philadelphians are a contemporary breed with great deference for
yesterday and yet an eye toward tomorrow. They take great pride in
maintaining that uniquely balanced perspective. In fact, a lot of people
feel that the American tradition of intellectual pioneering was born here.
And no wonder: Not only were the roots of the American nation forged here,
but Philadelphia hosted the first theater, first opera house, first zoo,
first library, first hospital and first mint to name a few regional
innovations. Today, the Greater Philadelphia Region remains one of the
world's foremost centers of education and culture.
