If any body has a inferiority complex , it should be you. Philadelphia is a great place to live and work and great things a happening here . University of Penn has developed cures for blood cancer and doing cellu
lar engineering to combat disease and genetic mutations . Children' s Hospital of Philadelphia is the world's leader in finding cures for childhood disease . Twenty percent of all Doctors in the U.S. get there training from the 7 medical schools in Philadelphia . Over 120 colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region including two ivy league schools. World class art museum ect. So what is Tennessee doing that so great ?
No. There is only one Ivy League school in Phila.: the Univ. of Pa. And 5 medical schools in Phila.: Penn, Jefferson, Temple, Drexel, PCOM(Phila. College of Osteopathic Medicine).
All great institutes, as you post, but no need to exaggerate and inflate the truth.

Yeah, I was wondering. Two Ivy League schools? Huh? Drexel, Villanova and Temple aren't close to Ivy League.

I think he meant Princeton which is 25 minutes up 95, but we really don't need to start this debate of what Mercer County is more connected too because it has nothing to do with the OP's question.

Mercer County, NJ is part of the NYC metro, so there's nothing to debate. It would be like including Penn for the NYC metro, because it's close by.

Technically, Princeton is both part of the NY Metro and Philly Metro. It is equal distance between the to but it is closer to Philly by like 2 miles. So technically, the Philly metro has 2 Ivy leagues (PENN and Princeton) and so does NYC (Columbia and Princeton).
I would say the largest downtowns besides nyc and chicago are..
SanFran's, Philly's, L.A.'s, Miami's and Houston's
(Not in order)
I know people underestimate the size of L.A.'s downtown but its pretty expansive and looks very piwerful and soulful to me.. it may not be as big as nys or chitown's but its again a very powerful and soulful skyline. And its getting bigger and bigger. Plus they building the tallest building on the west coast right now which will only make the skyline even better along with Metropolis and Fig Central. L.A. is just continuing to expand its beautiful big downtown skyline. L.A. is also 14th in the world when it comes to shear number of highrises. But the building boom in L.A. is on and strong to say the least.

I think I would put DC, Boston and Seattle before LA, Miami and Houston. Downtown LA is certainly booming right now though for sure.

Rowan University has two medical schools in Camden county N.J. ,one in Camden which is one subway stop from Center City and the other in Statford N.J. I chose to use the words Philadelphia region which includes Mercer county N.J. . The term msa and csa are recent inventions of the Census Bureau which is a very narrow definition mostly used by government to appropriate federal funds . So in the term Philadelphia region ,yes Princeton is included .
Childrens and Penn both have outpatient facilities in Ocean and Mercer counties .
