Philadelphia County

When you hear, “Philadelphia”, the city is the first thing that comes to mind. But Philadelphia County stretches beyond the city limits to include neighboring towns like Manayunk and Chestnut Hill that have personalities all their own and are a hop, skip, and a ride from Center City.

Upcoming Local Happenings

Argentina vs. El Salvador

Lincoln Financial Field

The reigning World Cup champions, the Argentina national football team, take on El Salvador in an exhibition game on Friday at Lincoln Financial Field — but a recent hamstring injury makes superstar Lionel Messi’s appearance doubtful. Soccer fans are still expected to fill the stadium in this exciting rivalry match. Catch the SEPTA Broad Street Line there [and home]! Ride it south [from Cecil B. Moore for students!] to NRG Station - last stop.
