But Philadelphians know it as a city of neighborhoods, of rowhouses spilling out people on summer evenings. It is a city of strong ethnic flavors, though the ethnic origins keep changing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMany dramatic changes have shaped the city in the last 100 years or so: in its skyline, its waterfront, its people, and its industries. But it retains its essential character in scenes so familiar they transcend time and date, maintaining a reassuring continuity between past and present.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThough the city’s power of reinvention may be part of its genius, Philadelphia manages to renew itself while holding firmly on to tradition: the Mummers strut on, and cars continue to be parked in the middle of South Broad Street. In Philadelphia, nobody wants too much change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camino Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1987070275,"sku":"978–1–933822–11–2","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5798\/products\/ProductImage_1_e29415e3-d415-486c-9d57-07a0a2b0cdf7.jpg?v=1432951500","url":"https:\/\/www.caminobooks.com\/products\/millennium","provider":"Camino Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
