Yo, Adri�n, Not That Confused About American Geography, Are You? ️
Let's face it, geography isn't everyone's strong suit. Heck, some days I struggle to remember which way is north without moss on a tree (although, let's be real, that's mostly because I haven't been outside enough). ♂️
But fear not, fellow traveler (or maybe just someone who forgot their high school history!), because today we're diving into the burning question: Where in the world is Philadelphia? Spoiler alert: it's not actually on another planet (though with cheesesteaks that good, it might as well be).

| What State Is Philadelphia In Map |
Turns Out, It's Not in Cheesesteak Land (But That's a Real Place in Our Hearts)
Yes, believe it or not, Philadelphia isn't its own glorious cheesesteak-fueled nation. It's actually nestled in the state of Pennsylvania! Bam! Knowledge bomb. Pennsylvania, also known as the "Keystone State" (because apparently it holds the key to unlocking delicious cheesesteaks... or maybe that's just a metaphor I made up), is on the East Coast of the United States. You know, that whole "land of liberty bells and bald eagles" kind of place.
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
Still confused? Don't worry, that's what friends (and the internet) are for! If you're picturing a giant map and need a little help, just imagine a delicious cheesesteak right smack dab in the middle of Pennsylvania. There you go, instant geography lesson!
Bonus Round: Because Why Not?
- Did you know: Philadelphia is the sixth most populous city in the United States? That's a lot of people who love cheesesteaks (and apparently regular food too).
- Also: Philadelphia played a major role in American history. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were both signed there. So next time you bite into that cheesesteak, remember you're basically holding a piece of history (though hopefully a less messy one).
