Why Do You Love Philadelphia? Answer For a Sweet Prize

You have from now through May 31 to come up with the reason why you're hopelessly devoted to the city of brotherly love. Better make it good.  The city will return the sentiment by giving away a prize each day until the end of the contest.

You can submit your entry at the phila.gov site and winners will be listed at phila.gov/phillyinbloom/. This week's prizes are listed and include: an overnight stay at Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Main Line, Ballet X tickets, and $5 Smart Cards from the Philadelphia Parking Authority awarded daily.

We know it's a bit more difficult to love Philly when it's raining, but picture yourself at an outdoor table at Bar Ferdinand. Yep. There it is. Your heart is already thawing.
