Trip to Philadelphia

Recently, Lucy had her first in a series of interviews for her future job. The locations range from Philly to Auburn, AL to Greeneville, SC with each position's job duties being a little different.
The first trip was to Philly and I was lucky enough to tag along. It's my third time to Pennsylvania and my second to Philly - the first time being the 2003 Illustration Conference. I still remembered my way around and was able to hit some spots I missed on my first time here....namely the Philadelphia Museum of Art (yes..the one Rocky ran up) and their Andrew Wyeth exhibit! Good stuff!
I compare my 'big city' experiences to ATL since it's the one I've spent the most time in. The first thing I look at is if people actually live downtown and if there's a 'community' atmosphere. Atlanta doesn't have this....it's just a big corporate dump with all the employees returning to the surrounding suburbs in the evening. Philly of the otherhand does have a great downtown area. There are local pubs, restaurants, bookstores, etc and people are always walking around and sitting in the parks. There's a 'life' to the area that ATL will never have. I sat and enjoyed a coffee in Rittenhouse Square (Lucy was shopping of course) and wished I lived in an area that had this feeling. Although not on par with NY, Philly would be a nice city to live.
BUT...we won't be moving there. Lucy was offered the job, but really didn't feel comfortable with the position. It's mostly a medical writing position, but she feels most comfortable in a hospital setting. Welp...it was a fun trip anyway!
