Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Philadelphia (pronounced /?f?l?'d?lfi?/) is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth most populous city in the United States. It is the fifth largest metropolitan area and fourth largest urban area by population in the United States, the nation's fourth largest consumer media market as ranked by the Nielsen Media Research, and the 49th most populous city in the world. It is the county seat of Philadelphia County. A popular nickname for Philadelphia is The City of Brotherly Love (from Greek F??ad??fe?a, [p?i.la.'del.p?e?.a], Modern Greek [fi.la'ð?l.fi.a], "brotherly love" from philos, "love", and adelphos "brother"). The city is recognized as a strong candidate global city.

In 2005, the population of the city proper was estimated to be over 1.4 million,[1] while the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area, with a population of 5.8 million, was the fifth-largest in the United States. A commercial, educational, and cultural center, the city was once the second-largest in the British Empire[2] (after London), and the social and geographical center of the original 13 American colonies. During the 18th century, it eclipsed New York City in political and social importance, with Benjamin Franklin taking a large role in Philadelphia's early rise to prominence. It was in this city that some of the ideas, and subsequent actions, gave birth to the American Revolution and American Independence, making Philadelphia a centerpiece of early American history. It was the most populous city of the young United States and served as the the nation's second capital in 1774.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Philadelphia area was the location of the Lenape (Delaware) Indian village Shackamaxon. Europeans arrived in the Delaware Valley in the early 1600s, with the first settlements founded by the Dutch, British and Swedish.

The Swedes sought to expand their influence by creating an agricultural (tobacco) and fur-trading colony to bypass French and British merchants. The New Sweden Company was chartered and included Swedish, Dutch and German stockholders. The first Swedish expedition to North America embarked from the port of Gothenburg in late 1637. It was organized and overseen by Clas Fleming, a Swedish admiral from Finland. Part of this colony, called New Sweden or Nya Sverige eventually included land on the west side of the Delaware River from just below the Schuylkill River in other words, today's Philadelphia, southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

2. Penguins vs. Flyers
November 14, 2008

Pittsburgh -155 vs. Philadelphia The Keystone State possibly boasts the best in-state rivalry in the NHL. The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers have met in several Stanley Cup Playoff series over the years, including last season's Eastern Conference Finals, won by the Penguins. While Pittsburgh has shown the form that powered them to the Stanley Cup Finals a few months ago, Philadelphia has done no such thing and has struggled all season long. The Flyers (5-6-3) won their last time out over the Islanders 3-1. This ended an ugly three game losing streak after a four game... (read more)

5. Senators vs. Flyers
November 07, 2008

Ottawa -140 vs. Philadelphia Once upon a time the Philadelphia Flyers were the lone winless team left in the NHL. They were floundering at 0-2-3 and looked hopeless and helpless until a home and home series against New Jersey. Perhaps it was inspiration garnered from the World Champion Phillies or the Flyers finally coming to life on their own. Either way the Devils were a good victim for the Flyers as they swept the home and home series and that was the start of a four game winning streak. That streak put Philadelphia over .500 until a loss to Edmonton last Sunday dropped them back to th... (read more)

November 07, 2008

Orlando Magic -5 vs. Philadelphia 76ers Two teams with bigger expectations than what their records show prepare for a Thursday night battle in Orlando as the 76ers travel north in Florida to take on the Magic at Amway Arena. Orlando (2-2) may have righted their ship recently as they look for their third straight win following their two game losing streak as they stumbled out of the blocks to start the season. The Magic probably count themselves lucky to beat the Chicago Bulls this past Monday. While they won 96-93, the Bulls stormed back from a 17 point third quarter deficit to get b... (read more)

9. Malpractice Lawyer Urges Victims to Seek Help Immediately
November 03, 2008

When an act of medical malpractice happens, it usually leaves the victim confused and hurt. Usually a victim of medical malpractice doesn’t even know that it has occurred until they see negative effects from their recent medical experience. These negative effects could take months to years to incur causing the issue of time restraints to occur. In some instances of law if a claim is not made within a year from the time that the act was originally occurred, there is no possible way for a claim to be made after that time. In instances where a victim of medical malpractice does not see negative s... (read more)

12. Philadelphia Eagles Tickets- McNabb Breaks More Records
November 03, 2008

Get your Philadelphia Eagles tickets at StubHub.com. When the Philadelphia Eagles picked up quarterback Donovan McNabb in the 1999 draft, the choice was famously booed by Philadelphia fans who wanted Ricky Williams instead. Nearly a decade later, fans realize that they may not always know the right choice (although no one necessarily foresaw William’s drug problems in the NFL). If there were any doubts left in the minds of Eagle’s fans, McNabb added another reason for fans to love him during week six against the San Francisco 49ers. That game marked McNabb surpassing Ron Jaworski for the fra... (read more)

13. Philadelphia Eagles Tickets- Surgery for Andrews, Deal for Eckel
November 03, 2008

Changes are afoot for the Philadelphia Eagles, who are both trying to fill spots as well as dealing with a new injury. The Eagles recently added Kyle Eckel at the fullback position and signed him to a two-year contract. Eckel is the third player to take the field at fullback this season for the Eagles. The first was 2007’s third-round draft pick, Tony Hunt. The Eagles moved him to fullback from halfback. When the Eagles released Hunt, they moved defense tackle Dan Klecko to fullback. They will now have to figure out how to deal with the loss of right guard Shawn Andrews, who will miss up to... (read more)

14. Dallas Cowboys Tickets- Romo Out For Weeks
November 03, 2008

Find your Dallas Cowboys tickets at StubHub.com.

15. 76ers vs. Knicks
November 03, 2008

Philadelphia -7 1/2 vs. New York The 76ers game on Friday may be a little overshadowed. Not only is Friday Halloween, but the city is celebrating its first sports championship since the 76ers won it all after the 1982-1983 season. The Sixers hope they can catch just some of the Phillies magic after they won their first world title since 1980. Things did not start out well for the Sixers (0-1) when they dropped their home opener to Toronto 95-84. Elton Brand's debut in Philadelphia was muted by the Phillies antics, but he did manage to score 14 points and pull down 13 points in the... (read more)

October 30, 2008

Philadelphia -162 vs. Tampa Bay Phillies fans emotional rollercoaster may continue tonight. Midway through Monday's soggy Game 5, Philadelphia seemed destined to claim their first professional championship in the city since the early 1980's. Up 2-0 nothing with their ace Cole Hamels on the mound, it seemed celebration was imminent. Then the Rays tied it putting a stop to a premature celebration and then Mother Nature had her say.

October 30, 2008

Washington -7 1/2 vs. Detroit After dropping the opening night game to the defending champion Giants, the Redskins responded with surprising victories against New Orleans, Arizona and road games against division rivals Dallas and Philadelphia. After these four straight wins, Washington came home with the intent of rolling up a winless Rams team who had just changed coaches. Of course that is why they play the games. A late field goal gave St. Louis the 19-17 upset victory. This caused some Redskins’ players to feel they let their guard down and played down to their opponents on that day. ... (read more)

22. Eagles vs. Falcons

Philadelphia -9 vs. Atlanta "Welcome home Matt Ryan, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Ryan, a hometown Philadelphia boy, should not expect a heroe's welcome as his Atlanta Falcons travel to the City of Brotherly Love for Sunday afternoon battle at Lincoln Financial Field.

25. Dallas Cowboys Tickets- Week Two Win Brings Celebration, Speculation
October 27, 2008

Get your Dallas Cowboys tickets at StubHub.com. Are the Dallas Cowboys the team to beat? That is the talk that is starting around the NFL after their 41-37 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in week two that showed the team gaining momentum with a 2-0 start. The high score causes some concern with the Dallas defense, but the offense obviously more than made up for the 37 points allowed. A halftime score that saw the Eagles up 30-24 meant that the game featured the second-high scoring half ever to be seen on Monday Night Football. Another noteworthy threshold was crossed during this game as w... (read more)
