South Columbus Blvd, Riverfront

The 2200 block of South Columbus Blvd in southern Philadelphia is an enigma at best. Depressing abandoned shipyards and businesses make one feel that the area is no longer viable on the river side of the road.....However, on the other side of the "tracks". Shopping is booming. From a state of the art, IKEA retailer to a "border" liquor store, where you can buy better bargains on wine and spirits in Pennsylvania, than in any other mid state liquor store. There is a Lowes, and a great shoe store where you will find the most unusual footwear at a discount price.

When you come to Philly, you can't just think about cheesesteaks. This city has many historical attractions to offer. This area is very well preserved and upkept. There are a few gift shops and places to grab a quick snack. But the major attraction is Penn's Landing. Penn's Landing is the Philadelphia equivalent of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, on a smaller scale. It runs along the west bank of the Delaware River .
