Philadelphia's rich historical tapestry is brimming with hidden gems that are both strange and extraordinary.
This tour is PG-13 for gore and scandal but can be censored for family friendly audiences. But the best tales come from mining the deepest and darkest for those brave enough for the naughty Philly past.
