			<h3 class="meeting_subtitle">City Profile</h3>
            
            
            <span id="PrintArea"><p align="justify"> Philadelphia is one of the most famously written about cities in the United States. The name 
              is attached to everything from popular foods like the "Cheesesteak" 
              and "Cream Cheese" to popular movies like "Rocky" and the aptly 
              titled Academy Award winning Tom Hanks' drama, "Philadelphia," to 
              the supposed naval "Experiment" that took place during World War 
              II with the city serving as the source for the supernatural teleportation 
              of a U.S. Navy Destroyer. And, of course, Philadelphia is a name 
              that's synonymous with famous sports teams such as the Eagles and 
              Flyers, 76ers and Phillies, not to mention home to the most famous 
              Franklin in the world. </p>

<p align="justify"> Founded in 1682 by an English Quaker named William Penn, the city 
              began life as a modest parcel of land located near the Atlantic 
              Coast. It developed rapidly throughout the 18th century, soon becoming 
              the cultural center of the New World. Philadelphia symbolizes the 
              birth of the nation, giving rise to the most significant events 
              in American history. It is a city rife with tradition that dates 
              back to the American Revolution and the famous July Fourth declaration 
              as well as the serving ground for the U.S. Constitution and temporary 
              national capital prior to Washington D.C. at the end of the century.            </p>
              
            <p align="justify">Philadelphia, sometimes referred to simply as "Philly" and 
              sometimes as the "the City of Brotherly Love," is the fifth largest 
              city in the United States with a population of approximately 1.6 
              million. Headed by such prominent institutions as Philadelphia, 
              Drexel and Thomas Jefferson Universities, it is also one of the 
              largest college/university towns with more than 120,000 students 
              studying within the city limits alone and nearly 300,000 total in 
              the metropolitan area. Philadelphia's economy is heavily based on 
              manufacturing, refining, food, and financial services, and the city 
              also has its own stock exchange. Founded in 1790, the Philadelphia 
              Stock Exchange (PSEX) is the oldest in the United States. </p></span>
