City Swap!

I am doing a city swap with my "sister city," Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Over the next few days I will be posting some pictures from the Philadelphia area, and over at Scenes from Philadelphia, my sister will be posting some photos from her trip to Portland! City Swap!

Since I've posted the replica, I figured I should put up the real deal. Here's the actual Liberty Bell hanging up in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Park.

A Crack in Time

Thinking about going to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell like I did last weekend? Forget about it! Just go to City Hall in Portland and voila! This replica was purchased for $8,000 after the original replica, received as a gift, was lost in the 1970 bombing of City Hall.
