Is Philly and Boston really known in the WORLD for architecture? Perhaps U.S. but I'm not sure globally they are.

Uhm no. Just from the bottom Los Angeles, Rio, Recife, Quito, St. Johnns, Montreal, Philky, etc. are NOT REKNOWN for their architecture. Give me a break. there are obviously plenty more you are wrong about.

Architecture isn't just Medieval European towns. Nor is it just skyscrapers. Do you know anything about those cities? Quito has a world heritage old town, one of the best preserved in South America. LA has examples of the California bungalow style, art-deco and modernist architecture, Rio has some well preserved neighbourhoods in the favelas. St. John's is well known for it's unique architecture. But I don't need your endorsement, many people from around the world visit these cities for their beautiful architecture.
