It's About Damn Time Philly Got An Observation Deck For This Fine City

BizJournals – Located 883 feet above street level, One Liberty Observation Deck is Philadelphia’s first and only large-scale observation deck. (See photo galleries for a sneak peek.)
Taking over about 8,800-square-feet of space on the 57th floor of One Liberty Place, the observation deck, set to open the weekend after Thanksgiving, features an open-floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows and a 360-degree view of Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware.

Who needs the Empire State Building anyways? We have the new One Liberty Observation Deck. This thing has all the usual bells and whistles of a tourist attraction, but lets break them down anyways.

First up, the obvious one: this thing has some crazy ass views. Perfect spot for one of you losers to propose for your girlfriend since it is open 10 am- 10 pm so you can really set the mood up there. If you look close enough you can see some Delco folks starting up an Eagles chant and/or fire to their divorce papers.

This is the most Philadelphia shit ever. Can’t just have a big nice observation deck. No no no, that would be too simple. You need a giant Ben Franklin in an almost Eagles green color to shoot through three floors, fucking eye glasses and all. Jokes aside, this thing is cool looking and should be exploding through instagram soon.

The most underrated part of this whole thing are the wall murals, simply because they are so predictable. Need a full wall mural? Rocky and Dr. J, done and done. Need a mural showing the “spirit and life of Philadelphia”? Just a man at an Eagles game screaming and a mummer making his way down broad. Need a little picture for a pole? The spectrum. These people who made this place are no dumbies, they know what Philly likes.
