Metroji clue #144

Philadelphia in five emoji

United States

The capital of the United States for a decade, and the room where both founding documents were argued into shape. Two of the five clues are twentieth century, which catches people out.

What each emoji refers to

The Liberty Bell cracked early in its life and was never successfully repaired.
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were both signed at Independence Hall.
The cheesesteak comes from South Philadelphia in the 1930s, and the argument about where to get one has not settled.
The steps Rocky runs up belong to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Mural Arts Program started as an anti-graffiti effort in 1984, and the painted walls it left behind are now all over the city.
