Obama In Philly
President Obama campaigned for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at Eakins Oval in front of the Philadelphia Art Museum on Tuesday, while the nominee herself remains off the campaign trail as she recovers from pneumonia.
Obama never mentioned Clinton's health but said GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is not for the working class. The president said there's never been a man or woman more qualified to become president than Hillary Clinton.
I could not be prouder of a leader that we have nominated to take my place. Even though I won my last campaign, I'm going to work as hard as I can this fall to elect Hillary Clinton as our next president of the United States of America, Obama said.
Supporters said they weren't worried about Clinton's recent health news. Clinton's Campaign vowed to release an update on her health over the next few days. Meanwhile Tuesday Donald Trump campaigned in Iowa and Pennsylvania.
Love Park in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Happy Valentine's Day from the Love Park in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Love Park (official name: JFK Plaza) is a plaza located in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park is nicknamed Love Park for Robert Indiana Love sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
The Love sculpture, designed by Robert Indiana, was first placed in the plaza in 1976 as part of the United States' Bicentennial celebration. It was removed in 1978, but the sculpture was missed and the chairman of Philadelphia Art Commission, F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., bought the sculpture and permanently placed it in the plaza, in 1978.
Robert Indiana was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana.
Valentine's Day which is celebrated on February 14th, can be traced back to Saint Valentine in Rome Italy 269 A.D.
It is believed that Valentine's Day originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it From Your Valentine.

VLOG 32: ഫിലാഡൽഫിയ ചുറ്റി കാണാം | Exploring Philadelphia | Malayalam Vlog | Trip Couple
Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the fifth-most-populous city in the United States, with an estimated population of 1,567,442 and more than 6 million in the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area, as of 2015. Philadelphia is the economic and cultural anchor of the Delaware Valley-a region located in the Northeastern United States at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers with 7.2 million people residing in the eighth-largest combined statistical area in the United States.
Stop No.1: Panoramic view of the Center City Philadelphia skyline, viewed from Camden, New Jersey, across the Delaware River. Comcast Center.
Stop No.2: The Philadelphia Museum of Art is an art museum originally chartered in 1876 for the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The main museum building was completed in 1928 on Fairmount, a hill located at the northwest end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Eakins Oval. The museum administers collections containing over 240,000 objects including major holdings of European, American and Asian origin. The various classes of artwork include sculpture, paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, armor and decorative arts
Stop No.3: The 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have become known as the Rocky Steps because of their appearance in the triple-Oscar-winning film Rocky and five of its sequels, Rocky II, III, V, Rocky Balboa and Creed, in which the eponymous character runs up the steps to the song Gonna Fly Now. Tourists often mimic Rocky's famous climb, a metaphor for an underdog or an everyman rising to a challenge. A bronze Rocky statue was briefly situated at the top of the steps for the filming of Rocky III. This statue, now located at the bottom right of the steps, is a popular photo opportunity for visitors. The top of the steps offers a commanding view of Eakins Oval, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and Philadelphia City Hall.
Stop No.4: One Liberty Observation Deck, also called Philly From the Top, is an 883 ft (269 m) high observation deck located on the 57th floor of One Liberty Place in Center City, Philadelphia. The observation deck is fully enclosed and offers 360-degree panoramic views of the city from 883 feet above street level, which is the highest public access level and the tallest standing building attraction in Philadelphia as of 2016.
Stop No.5: Philadelphia City Hall, built in 1901 and located at 1 Penn Square, is the seat of government for the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building was designed by Scottish-born architect John McArthur, Jr., in the Second Empire style, and was constructed from 1871 until 1901 at a cost of $24 million. City Hall was topped off in 1894, although the interior wasn't finished until 1901.

Rocky Steps
The 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have become known as the Rocky Steps as a result of the scene from the film Rocky. Tourists often mimic Rocky's famous climb, a metaphor for an underdog or an everyman rising to a challenge. A bronze Rocky statue was briefly situated at the top of the steps for the filming of Rocky III. This statue, now located at the bottom right of the steps, is a popular photo opportunity for visitors. The top of the steps offers a commanding view of Eakins Oval, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and Philadelphia City Hall.
In 2006, Rocky creator Sylvester Stallone recounted the genesis of the iconic scene: (while filming the 1976 movie) the film crew, bound by a tight budget, identified the steps one night while searching for filming locations around the city. Stallone first thought Rocky should carry his dog Butkus up the steps, but the big bull mastiff proved too heavy for the scene to work. Still, the view from the top of the stairs inspired him to reshoot the scene without the dog. Also in Rocky Balboa, Rocky lifts his dog Punchy when he reaches the top of the steps. The closing credits of Rocky Balboa show a montage of dozens of people running up the steps.
This scene was one of the first uses in a major film of the Steadicam, a stabilized camera mount that allows its operator to walk and even climb steps while smoothly filming.
