If you love it, set it free. That’s why #whyilovephilly works. Plenty of people have taken the hashtag and made it their own.

So, in honor of this boosterific lovefest, here is today’s stream of #whyilovephilly tweets. It’s a nice little snapshot of the City of Twitterly Love. (UPDATE: The Twitter widget below is no fun. For the raw feed of #whyilovephilly click here.)

And, if you just want the pictures, here’s every #whyilovephilly Instagram photo. (UPDATE: More pics here, via Topsy.)
