14 The Liberty Bell; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The Liberty Bell, while a monument to the nascent beginnings of our nation, is displayed in an already traffic-laden section of Philadelphia. Each year, more than a million tourists visit the bell on a first come, first serve basis. The locals may respect the bell for its deeper meaning, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t roll their eyes at the hordes of picture-taking tourists creating standstill traffic in the city’s downtown area.
