The careful planning done by William Penn makes this city the paragon of good urbanism. Philly is the most perfect city in the US, and the most walkable by a long shot, even compared to NYC which is quite unpleasant for walking with Manhattan's chaotic traffic and wide avenues.

For other cities it would be the end of downtown but for Center City Philly this is just a minor blip and a chance to replace it with something better. Macy's perverted the original Wanamaker store which had a lot more than what we ended up with. Plus, the largest pipe organ in the world is still there and trashy Macy's can't take away culture and class. Yeah, if you're wondering most people came to the store to see and hear the Wanamaker organ rather than shop for overpriced goods that they can find elsewhere or online.
