"The streets of Philadelphia are safe. It's only the people who make them unsafe." – Frank. L. Rizzo
"The City of Brotherly Love" began as a settlement founded by William Penn in 1682. The previous year, Penn had received a charter from King Charles II of England to establish what would eventually become the Pennsylvania Colony. Penn, a Quaker, had experienced religious persecution in England and was desirous of founding a colony in the New World where there would be absolute freedom of worship. His "Holy Experiment" included the building of a city this farsighted soul believed would one day form, as he put it, "...the seed of a nation."
