7 Great U.S. Cities to Live In

Philadelphia: Accept no substitutesSure, Philly's the city that booed Santa Claus — 40 years ago, at a pre-Christmas Eagles NFL game at Franklin Field — but any fan will remind you that the Santa in question was a notoriously poor performer. (It probably didn't help that the Eagles were losing the game.)
Philadelphia boos big, but it loves even bigger: This is a city with a tremendous heart, especially for its sports stars both fictional (a bronze statue of Rocky Balboa, outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, remains a top tourist draw) and factual (the 2008 World Series-winning Phillies).
The city's non-sports attractions aren't so much humble as refined, and the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the stately homes of Society Hill are better appreciated as facts of daily living than on a packed afternoon of sightseeing. This is, after all, a fabulous place to live — and not simply as a substitute for somewhere more expensive, or as New York's "sixth borough."
Young families can actually buy homes here, retreating on weekends to the city's extensive park system, to the Museum of Art, or to the Franklin Museum, a science-themed wonderland for kids. Just consider the membership card.
