Your Philadelphia Comments and Photos Are Invited

by KYW's Lauren Lipton

Other cities are already doing it, and now Philadelphia is joining in!

The city's Convention and Visitors Bureau is opening up its web site to both residents and tourists, who will be able to share their thoughts about the city.
 
Executive VP Jack Ferguson says the new program is called "We The People Love Philadelphia": 

"Let's just say that I went to the Constitution Center and I had just a marvelous, marvelous experience. I'm going to type in a little about my experience, and why you, the reader, should try it. Oh, and I can add my photos there."

For example?

"Some of the pictures of 'Ride the Ducks' are some of the best pictures you ever saw -- because people are happy and they're quacking away, and they want to tell people about it."

Here are some of the comments already received -- and people sure do love those ducks!

(Man:) "I'm really excited to be here, and I'm looking forward to riding the duck."

(Woman:) "We loved it so much; we came back and took the duck tour."

You might be surprised to find out about another favorite: Philadelphia's sports complex. 

(Ferguson:) "I am so amazed by how many people love baseball stadiums; it's sort of like collecting a charm on a charm bracelet. I've been to Camden Yards, I've been to Fenway, Wrigley Field..."

This youngster loved the Liberty Bell, but:

(Boy:) "I saw the Liberty Bell and it was very  cool, but it didn't ring."
