Philadelphia isn't just a city that lies between the shadows of New York and Washington, it is a city where the Eagles are the topic of dinner conversation year round. It is where a meal consists of a cheesesteak, Natty light, soft pretzels, and Tasty Kakes for dessert. It is where there is a Wawa on every corner, and you look forward to the 1st day of Spring when Rita's gives out free "wooder" ice. It is where you know it's a hoagie, not a sub and the shore, not the beach. Most importantly, where everyone is brothers and it is ok to say hello to someone you don't know if they are a birds fan. That is Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love... Outsiders will never understand

black people are people too

Like any large city, it is hard to define Philadelphia in just one way. It has its rich neighborhoods like Society Hill and it has a lot of poor neighborhoods. Just read the history of Philadelphia and you will respect the city and realize other cities don't even come close. No, its not fancy or glitzy, but thats why I believe it is a great city. It has integrity, like the hard working people in the city. In the USA, it might be the most historically influential city. It was the first capital, and was home to the first hospital, zoo, stock exchange, public library, public grammar school, public volunteer fire department, university, bank, computer, modern sky scraper, and the list goes on. Still want to disrespect this city? -And by the way, the only reason "The Real World" initially cancelled shooting in Philly was because of the Unions. With that worked out, it is coming back and filming this spring.

The present status of Philadelphia might not be as impressive as its history, but it can only improve from this point.

Philadelphia is a city unlike any other. Ran by sports, completely unhealthy food, violence and beer this city is home to some of the best people you will ever find...if you are from here. Outsiders are never welcome and if you are a fan of any other football team besides the eagles, you will have a tough time simply walking down the street. The city pulls together hopes for every season and continually has their hearts shattered every year. People not from Philadelphia claim the inhabitants are the worst in the country, however if you are a local you would never want to live anywhere else. Home to friendships that you could never find in another part of the country, this city has a sense of pride to it that is unmatched anywhere. During the summer, a trip to the shore you are guaranteed to see at least 10 people from your neighborhood and there is no question you will be drunk for about 80% of the time you are there. Besides Canada, this may be the only other place that is hurting without hockey because it is often painful to watch the sixers and phillies play. Finally, Philadelphia’s reputation of not being the city of brotherly love will be further reinforced after the unparalleled riots that will occur after the eagles win the super bowl. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES\!\!\!

the best city.

no wonder it has cream cheese named after it and no wonder it holds the liberty bell cause it is the best.

Philadelphia is the most diverse and authentic city in America. Everyone in every neighborhood takes pride in where they come from (including generations before them) and makes it known to outsiders that they will never be one of us. Anyone that does not like Philadelphia or its residents is simply jealous. Jealous of our uniqueness. Jealous of our passion for sports, no matter what the score is they still represent our blue-collar heritage. Jealous of our extremeness. Jealous of our overwhelming personalities. Jealous of the way we pour our hearts into everything we do. Jealous of our food. And most importantly, jealous of our pride. We don’t care what others think. We don’t try to be like any other city. We simply are who we are. The Vet was not an arena that held sporting events, it was our family. It holds memories for every resident. The Philadelphia flair is something that is imbedded is us since birth. We can speak to other Philadelphians in our slang and feel an unwritten camaraderie that cannot be shared by others. Our life is our city and it is something that no one understands unless you are truly from here. For those that are not fans: Please continue to tell us how much you don’t like us or our city because it only gives us more fuel to tell you why we are and always will be better than you.

Philadelphia - The City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia - The Birthplace of America.

The city of brotherly love, where we eat, breathe, and live Eagles. This is the city that cheered Michael Irvin breaking his neck at the vet or the city that brought freedom to America with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Whether it is clogging our arties with cheesesteaks or stuffing our face with the best food in America, we are the City of Brotherly Love. We don't care about what other people think about Philly. You can diss our city or call us the worst fans in America, but that is because you're just jealous you're not from Philly.

Rocky, Allen Iverson, and Donovan McNabb are what makes Philadelphia the best city in the world. Even when the odds are against them, they give it their all. That is all we ask of our athletes.

Ok Ok...That's enough of the Philadelphia bashing. I live in Northeast Philadelphia and it is beautiful.Its very friendly,clean etc.(Somerton,Chalfont,Morell)What about Old City? Is that not nice either? I think people just hear about the bad parts of a city and disregard all the good. I understand, since i live in the northeast, I do not know much about north Philly aka "badlands" but I know that is the home to some people that really are trying to get their lives together and really do take pride in the city. Also, maybe people don't understand that children can be born into insufficient households and they grow up in these neighborhood and learn that way of life. What do you expect? Come on people, the world is not perfect here. There will always be violence, drugs, uneducated people etc wherever you go. It's a viscious cycle but its real, and you can either cry and complain or live with it or stay out. I won't deny that it's not the best idea for me to go to north philly and hang on a corner being an 18 year old white girl from the NE, but i respect that. What about center city? It supplies thousands of people with great jobs. What about the universities that students from all over the country come to go to? Temple University being one of then STRAIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF NORTH PHILLY...and it's an amazing school. There is Drexel, LaSalle, University of Pennsylvania. We have some amazing museums, a zoo, and great shops in center city. The club life can be a good time too. Del ave and old city are the places to party\! So don't listen to all of the negative, it's really a good time here\! I promise\!

There are some really beautiful hotels down in center city, great food, Penns Landing, every possible club, museums, schools, universities, the zoo, places to shop, 2 AWESOME new stadiums and really friendly people that still believe in the city\! Good Times.

BY far the most underrated city on the planet. Everyone always talks shit about us or the eagles and its really getting old. No we are definitely not a wannabe New York either, to all the fags who keep saying that. We have our own accent and slang. Go to philly then check out NY you'll see what i mean.

everyone who still bashes philly is a loser

Probably the most misunderstaood city in the U.S. Those not familiar with the city are usually aware of the Revolutionary history and maybe some unique quirks like cheesesteaks and pretzels. Philadelphia suffers from a bit of red headed stepchild syndrome in that it is a major population center with a unique character but largely goes unrecognized in the American psyche due to the overbearing reputation of nearby New York. The two cities are extremely different and Philadelphians take (sometimes hostile) offense to outsiders who don't bother to understand this. New Yorkers tend to have an arrogance that everything is better in their city. Actually some things are better in Philadelphia. Check it out, just don't mouth off because even though it is the City of Brotherly Love, the inhabitants aren't above giving you a brotherly pop in the mouth.

My girlfriend's folks are coming over to dinner and they have never been to Philadelphia. I guess I'd better get rid of the Schmidt's and invest in some Dockstreet.

It really is a great city. Its beautiful at night. Even though the city itself is losing tons of population, Its Suburbs such as Montgomery County and Bucks County have been skyrocketing.

Philadelphia is a wonderful town to live in.

Anyone who complains that Philly is all ghetto has obviously never been there. Yes, a large amount of the city is ghetto, but it's not any different in the Bronx, Brooklyn, or even Manhattan. I go to school in the Bronx and the borough is about 70% ghetto. Even in NY, you just can't escape it. Half of Brooklyn is places like Brownsville, Bed-Stuy, East New York which are no better than North Philly. In fact, I think Philly is a cooler city in many ways. New York is so big, there's no room for city pride or unity among residents. Philly has some cool architecture too and lots of interesting neighborhoods

Jets suck\! go eagles

AKA Philly/ City of Brotherly Love. Lemme tell you, I'm born and raised in Philly and maybe the only reason someone has a issue with Philly is 'cus they not from here. In Philly, you can meet some of the greatest people. Rita's is good, the cheesesteaks are great and the pretzels are the best. Yeah, there's ghetto parts but get over it\! If you're not used to ghetto areas then what the f*** are you doin' in Philly? People talk about walking around scared about gettin' mugged, while I can go out without a issue. Here's a hint for wherever you go; If you act like a victim, you're gonna end up a vitcim\! It's not that difficult people\! Philly might be a lil tough but when the goin' gets tough the tough get goin'\! Damnit if you a prissy lil bitch and stay soft then what you learnin'? And yeah, Philly got black people. What's your point? It's urban\! Lots of places are urban and a lot of people WISH they urban\! My friend went to Maryland and it was filled with wanna be G's\! We also loyal fans. E-A-G-L-E-S\!\!\! If ya got a problem with it then stick it up your ass 'cus Philly people have NO issue with kickin' your ass about it like some North Carolina girl found out one day. Philly is diverse too\! I have white, black, asian, european and hispanic friends\! Everyone you run into is mixed 'cus we don't care what you are\! Hell if you mixed you even sexier\! So allow me to sum it all up. Philly is: Good food Tough people Loyal fans Diverse Ass kickers

Person 1: Yo where u from? Person 2: I'm from Philadelphia Person 1: Oh dats wussup\! Go eagles\! Person 2: Jea boi\! Let's go get sum cheese steaks

Philadelphia. The city that causes hysteria within outsiders because they will never understand. The city that brings up controversy among others because once again, they will never understand. The city that is so well-known and amazing in every aspect of the word that brings the attention of "haters" to discriminate upon us because of their jealousy of our awesomeness. The city that does not care what yuppies from other parts of our country have to say. We are the city made up of cultural diversity and unity. We are the city made up of neighborhoods and struggle. We are the strongest among the United States...and nobody will ever change that. We are Philadelphia.

"That girl is very down to earth and outgoing." "Oh, yes she's from Philadelphia."

it may have its bad parts but all in all philly is a unique and special place. "Ey,YO\!"

18. (Philadelphia) (80↑, 45↓)
A spectacularly beautiful, spectacularly mismanaged city whose high point came in the 18th century when it was the center of the American revolution's planning and execution. Having fostered the creation of the modern world, Philadelphia retired from the scene. The nickname Philly,' the 'blue-collar' sobriquiet, the cheesesteaks-and-scrapple rep, the sports losers mythology - all dross, all amusements for a frivolous era. Philadelphia is an old, serene snake coiled atop her rocky Main Line, an ambitionless city with old blood, old sins and old soul.

What outsiders never understand is that Philadelphia doesn't care. NYC's enormity, DC's power, Boston's ego, LA's glitter, Chicago's brawn - Philadelphia just doesn't care about any of it. She is the ultimate insider town.

19. (Philadelphia) (77↑, 52↓)
Philadelphia is one of the best cities in the USA. I am from Somerton in the Northeast section. It is the home of the Philadelphia eagles one of the best teams out there. and to the person who said he got beat up by the african americans, its your fault you got beat because you were stupid enough to tell someone from Philadelphia that you were from North Carolina. And to all those pricks who was talkin shit bout Philly have prolly never been there and even if they have they were only in the ghettos almost every important city has a ghetto so its no just Philadelphia.

Philly is a kickass city. The Eagles will definatly shoulda won the superbowl.

The City that the Brothers Love. William Penn's Greene Countrie Towne. Philadelphia is an old, odd collection of neighborhoods. Many residents have never left their ZIP code. In fact, some of them don't even know about ZIP codes. TBH, I lived in Manayunk for 14 years and loved it. Lived in West Philly for three and it was fab. Serviced by a good transit system if you know how to read a map. In general laid out well. Driving is an art, however this is due to people on the roads who aren't city dwellers. The city dwellers drive fine. Some of the best restaurants on the East Coast. Fresh food everywhere. No need to eat in - cheap good food is all around you. Best place I can think of to have home base if you have to travel a lot for work. You can leave your house unlocked for years in some 'hoods and your neighbors will watch out for you. Of course, they also know who you are sleeping with, but hey, it's a rowhouse\! Philadelphians shop at the Ac-a-me.

Did we just eat dinner in someone's living room? Yes, what did you expect? Caesar's Palace? It's a restaurant, not a damn casino. Can you let me off in downtown Philadelphia? Sure, which train station?

Rita’s is a chain store. Pop’s water ice is an icon (though not the best of the best – that is our secret.) We do not say "Yo," but do say: "What the fuck are you looking at."

So, for all you non Philadelphian fuckers out there: NO. PHILLY IS NOT JUST A RUN DOWN CITY WITH GANG WARS EVERY NIGHT AND PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND FEASTING ON CHEESESTEAKS 24/7. I live in Philly, and i have never been in a gang war in my life. Have you seen New York? It looks and smells like pure shit. I live in Northeastern Philly, and it happens to be very nice. Cut grass, single houses, clean. Old city is pretty nice, too. Historic houses and friendly people. I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCENT. PLEASE STOP SAYING WE CAN NOT PRONOUNCE OUR WORDS. Yes, I say "wooder" instead of water. But just listen to some of the country hicks in the south who can't speak for shit. And I am not ghetto, nor do I have a name like Tamaqua or Bon Qui Qui or some shit like that. I am not, have never been, and will never be on welfare. And for the record, EVERY FUCKIN CITY IN AMERICA HAS BLACK PEOPLE\! WTF DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE FUCKIN 1700'S?\! We are not a wannabe New York City. We are ourselves. We rock. So bend over and kiss my ass. And if any of you stupid fucks on Urban Dictionary really knew anything, you would know Geno's and Pat's are really the WORST places to get cheesesteaks. Stop being jealous that your not from Philly. What's a WaWa? Look it the fuck up. How are the Eagles doing? I don't watch sports. Want to go see the Liberty Bell? Never been there. SUCK ON THAT BITCHES.

Philadelphia rocks\! Stop being jealous you New Yorkers. And my peeps from South Jersey? We love you\!

Philadelphia is the best city ever made. It makes New York look like a bunch of winey little girls. Everyone who thinks Philly is just a crap hole is an idiot. Yeah, North, West and Southwest are pretty crappy. So are some of the burbs like Norristown, Cedarbrook and Ambler, but it has more heritage than the rest of the US put together, greatest most pride filled people and coolest kids. Everyone is just keepin it real, hangin out on curbs and talkin. It has the best neighborhoods because everyone knows eachother and like eachother and so tough. Did you hear about the catholic school kids who were approached by the rapist and they all kicked the crap out of him? Thats Philly right there. We dont take that crap from no one. And people who say it is the biggest ghetto are morons. It is only 6th on the most dangerous city list and the magazines and crap who say it is the ugliest and fattest cities are gay. Thats only what people think when they hear Philly. Fat ugly white guys with cheesesteaks, when really its not. Its a mixture of all types of ethnicities and the reason it is 45 percent white is because of center city.

People who talks trash about Philly should come down here and say it to our faces. Eagles Superbowl champs 04-05\!\!\!

An Eastern Pennsylvania city, and the largest city in Pennsylvania. It is nicknamed the 'City of Brotherly Love.' It is home to the Philly Cheese Steak, the Hoagie, and many sports teams, including the Philadelphia Flyers (National Hockey League), Philadelphia Eagles (National Football League), Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers (National Basketball Association), Philadelphia Phillies (Major League Baseball), Philadelphia Wings (National Lacrosse League), Philadelphia Union (Major League Soccer), and formerly the Philadelphia Soul (Arena Football League) and the Philadelphia Athletics (Major League Baseball). Philadelphia is home to many corporations, including Comcast, Lincoln National Corporation, Tasty Baking Corporation (makers of Tastykakes), and Pepboys Auto. The city was once the capital of the United States of America, until taken over by British soldiers in the American Revolutionary War. Philadelphia is home to Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence was created) and the Liberty Bell.

Philadelphia is a city where everyone in a phillies, flyers, or eagles jersey are like brothers even if they have never seen eachother before. We have a funny accent like "wooder" or "jeatyet?" (did you eat yet) we hate the mets and devils and rangers and penguins. we are loyal to all our sports teams and never doubt them. sure there is some violence but what major city doesnt have any violence? we are not second to ny or pittsburgh philly is clearly the best city to live in. center city is tremendous from love park to the parkway, the vet was not just a stadium but a memory pit for everyone myself and many other people witnessed their first phillies game there. Philadelphia is a city where brotherly love is everywhere i love philly and always will.

A rather nice city to visit but living here can be very unpleasent in certain areas especially in the North section. This city has definetly not what it used to be. when my grand parents grew up their there was not one bad area in the entire city. It is a shame that this had to happen. However it is coming back slowly. Crime has gone way down especially the amount of homocides. Many people in the city are no longer afraid to leave their own homes and in many sections the sound of gunshots is no longer an everyday occerence. I think that it should be a sin to put down the city of brotherly love especially since there are people out there working their asses off to rebuilt it and make it a desireable place to live agian. I think the main reason that the city is looked down upon so much is because of its rich suburbs. It is obvious that any persons in their right mind would rather live in Bucks county or Montgomery county because they are rich and beautiful. That still does not give you the right to put down Philadelphia.

This city will definetly\! bounce back well into the 21st century.

We people from Philadelphia call it Philly and we love cheesesteaks, soft pretzels,hoagies(not subs), tastykakes, and the first day of spring because Ritas give out free wooder ice. The EAGLES are the best even if they are'nt, the Phillies games are a family tradition, and Wawas are on every corner. We know you only go to Jersey for the tweeter center, cherry hill mall and the shore (yes the shore not the beach\!). We hate everyone and we don't care if they know. Anyone who says the Eagles suck is in for a world of pain by some of the toughest sports fans who will also shed tears if the Eagles don't make it to the superbowl again\! We have a great sense of pride and loyalty and we make some of the best friends you will ever have. Thats why I love Philly.

Okay so, being a real philadelphian, lemme clear up a few things: -hockey isn't as big a deal here as everyone thinks -people here can be pretty nice, if you're not a stuck up a hole -in terms of sports, we have lots of pride, and yeah, we know the eagles suck, let us cling to our hopes and dreams, mkay? Besides, the phillies are pretty good -there are some very nice places with some very high end cafe's, shops, etc. And then there are places that look like shit. There is no one way to describe Philadelphia. -the stereotypical Philadelphian will most likely be found in south Philly, also home to real Italian food. -yeah, we've got a lot of bums, but if you don't look like a total moron, then they generally leave you alone -pat's and geno's suck\! To find a real Philly cheesesteak, you must find the most run down, diviest place imaginable. Like Johns roast pork. -we've got some pretty friggin cool tourist attractions, including the art museum, Franklin institute, not even to mention numerous historical sites. So yeah, maybe we can be obnoxious, and yeah, maybe some of us have a weight problem, and yeah, most of us can't drive, but Philly has a real heart and soul, and is home to some of the best people you could meet, and you'd have to be a total, pretentious ass not to see that.

Philadelphia is a very old, historical city (by North American standards) located in the Northeast region of the United States. Ironically, its name means "The City of Brotherly Love," but its residents whose families have occupied the city for generations are so rude and nasty that people were actively fleeing the city for decades, causing massive population loss. According to the recent census, however, the city has gained in population due to both international immigration and migration from the way-too-expensive suburbs. The newly-arrived people are very nice and friendly, yet they have to watch their backs around native Philadelphians.

Have you been to Philadelphia? The townies are really mean\!

38. (Philadelphia) (12↑, 11↓)
The second largest city in the North-eastern United States (behind New York City). Although culturally we are also behind Boston and Washington DC. Cons: Blight and urban decay. Horrible infrastructure, underdeveloped public transit system. NASTY subways, litter, double parking, raggedy streets. Clean streets at 5am and a mess by noon\! Graffiti, public urination... It's as if the City residents say "WE DON'T LIKE NICE THINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS\!" Too many residents are proud of being ghetto and stupid. People rarely renovate their properties. Our schools were built in the early 20th Century. Ugly downtown, low-class mall (The Gallery) and Chinatown always smells of rotten meat. We have a LOT of dollar stores and abandoned properties in our DOWNTOWN\! Our City's population is generally older, poorer, and less educated than other large cities. There are a few pockets that attract young people like Fairmount, Northern Liberties, University City, and Queen Village but they are so small and exclusive that they are vastly overpriced and many of those neighbourhoods are within walking distance of a local GHETTO\! Pros: Crime seems to be steadily declining. We have GREAT hospitals and Universities\! The City attracts students from all over who obtain a higher education here but few stay upon graduation. People who succeed often flock to our suburbs where they ostracize the city and be pretentious.

Outsider: Why does Philadelphia have such a negative reputation? Philadelphian: We have a "Crown Fried Chicken" in our downtown. Outsider: But I thought "Crown Fried Chicken" was only found in city slums? Philadelphian: This is Philadelphia, our downtown is a slum, too\!

A city in Southeastern Pennsylvania that is extremely awesome. The Non-Philadelphians think this city is like hell but it beats out any city, period. It's got the best desserts (Tastykakes), the best sandwiches (Philly Cheesesteaks that are HOAGIES, not subs), the best pretzels, water ice (that's pronounced WOOTER ICE\!), and the most awesome places to go to\! The United States got its Independence from Britain on July 4, 1776 in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. There are many historical places to go to including the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. "The City of Brotherly Love" is home to the most awesome sports including the awesome football team called the Eagles, the "phantastic" baseball team called the Phillies, the passionate basketball team called the 76ers, a.k.a the Sixers, and the orangest hockey team called the Flyers. Those stupid Non-Philadelphians call us the "worst fans," but most of them haven't been here. If they did, they would know we were the best\! Philadelphia has many nicknames. -Philly -City of Brotherly Love -City that Loves You Back -The Best City Ever -The Coolest City Ever -The Tastiest City Ever -The City that is so Awesome than NO other City can Compare\!

An awesome movie with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. About a homosexual man who is an attorney and gets AIDS. Then, he decides to sue the law firm he works for because they discriminate against him by firing him. It is a tear-jerker and addresses homophobia, love, the legal system, and justice.

Philadelphia, often reffered to as Philly, is a wonderously tasty full fat soft cheese, first made in America 1872 by William Lawrence (Hero) although the first European records of "cream cheese" date back to as early as 1651... Apperently it has a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9. Mental. Furthermore, it is fantastic on crackers. (Also a city.)

Chris: Hey man, my crackers are really dry... I'm really down. Paul: Dude, you should try some Philadelphia. Chris: What would a city do for my crackers? Paul: No fool, it's cream cheese. Here. Chris: Wow\! you're right, this is the shit dude. My life is complete.

The City of Brotherly Love. The Birthplace of the United States. The home of Rocky Balboa. The largest city in Pennsylvania and 5th largest in the U.S. with 1.5 million in the city and about 5.5 million in the metro area in three states (PA, NJ and DE). Phily is a very historical city and few cities match its historical attractions: Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were drafted by the Continental Congress), the Liberty bell, the U.S. Constitution Center, the Franklin Institute, and the Betsy Ross House among others. Phily is also a major center for education (Drexel and Temple Universities), healthcare, culture, the arts and industry. It is home of the Third Federal Reserve Bank, the Philadelphia Mint and a major stock exchange. Philadelphia is considered one of America's fattest cities. The cholesterol-rich Phily Cheesesteak is everywhere and the people are generally unhealthy. The people also have annoying accents that almost make them sound like they are speaking form their nose. The people are crazy about their sports teams but have lowsy fans because they cheer for them when they win but curse them when they lose. How dumb. Phily is a very neat place to visit but you don't want to live there. The city is old, very poor and has many slums--some of the worst in the country. Sylvester Stallone ran through several of them while training for his fights. Philadelphia also ranks high in violent crime and has among the nation's highest homicide rates.

Philadelphia is a nice place to visit and with a diverse metropolitan profile but you don't want to live there. It would suck in general. Some natives include Bill Cosby, Kevin Bacon and Will Smith.

Where there are more murders than days in the year. Where the people are as friendly as a pack of jackals. Where cultural illiteracy meets a love of guns and scrapple. Philadelphia is a beautiful town of 1.5 million people who are dying to get out, literally. This gorgeous town is surrounded by suburbs full of people who love Philadelphia so much they pretend it is the best place on earth to out of towners and secretly, never, ever go downtown. Philadelphia is the birthplace of freedom - and the place that middle schools obligatorily send students too to learn about a much less violent past such as the revolutionary war. Philadelphia has a rich inventive history, for instance Electricity (Benjamin Franklin) and murdering 14 year old bicyclists (Phil from the southwest- go gangstah\! GO\!). Ah Philadelphia - smell the cordite, hate, and future depravity\! Philadelphia, "America's Next Great City"* (out of order since 1776).

"Philadelphia, I love cheese steaks wit and double murder please" "Rocky says we're great... what do you mean Rocky isn't real?" "Recycling... who needs it" "Welcome to Philadelphia, can I interest you in an order of being shot to death?" "Philadelphia\! America's Next Great City\! Right after New York, Chicago, LA, San Franciso, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Oakland, Detroit, Houston, Oklahoma City, Lagos, Baghdad, Beijing, and Scotts base camp in the antarctic" "Sauron visited Holmesburg and shat his pants"

1. "I got a workout from walking through the streets of Philadelpia; the profuse scatter of bums sleeping on the sidewalks created an obstacle course for me to highstep." 3. "When you visit Philadelphia, find some sort of an alternate form of transportation.

Despite the efforts of fatuous suburbanites that don't live within city limits, it is a fetid, powerful city that appeals to the most prurient of blue collar instincts. The only things more pure than its inferiority complex to New York is its heroin and its hatred towards progress, common sense and education. The city that boasts the largest population of people without college diplomas, the purest and cheapest smack on the East Coast, the most rabid sports fans, and, although it was once the cradle of democracy in the Americas, is best known for a damn good cheesesteak hoagie and Tasty Kakes. It is best experienced while drunk, smoking [wet], on [pancakes and syrup], shooting Badlands pure smack, or getting a tounge-heavy [rusty trombone] from some working girl found under the El.

Philadelphia is about getting drunk, getting angry, and getting stoned. Go Birds\! Philadelphia is the city that hits you back, bitch.

1. A city that is falling apart thanks to poverty and deindustrialization. 2. A place where people from the clean, safe SUBURBS of Philly claim to live, but the reality is only poor black people live in Philly, alongside the white, suburban population that temporarily calls the city home as they pursue their degrees at Temple, La Salle Drexel, University of the Arts or U Penn. 3. A place that, although already rich in history, got screwed out of becoming the capital of the United States because of the [Dixieolopoly] that forced the "compromised" location of present day Washington D.C. 4. A city that can't seem to produce a championship in any sport, no matter how promising each year looks. 5. Getting screwed over in general

Person 1: Have you seen the Census of 1940 and the Census of 2000? Person 2: Yes Person 1: What the HELL happened to Philadelphia? I thought I had been handed a philadelphia when I was the last to get dinner, but I quickly remembered that the city had been shafted ten times worse than I had and I was exaggerating my own problems.

Basically the ugliest, dirtiest, most crime infested town you will ever fucking run across. Town boasts the Eagles who have never even won a fucking superbowl, the Flyers whose last stanley cup pre-dates the nation's bicentennial, the Phillies who have more loses than any other team in the majors, and a bunch of colleges who have never won anything like villanova, st. joes, and temple. A philly cheestake cant talk shit against a Primanti brothers sandwich. In philly there is nothing to do except go to bars and get in fights with the vile locals. PHILTHadelphia a disgusting city full of niggers who live off welfare and whites who think they are tough shit and never fucking shower. That’s probably why that pathetic excuse of a city smells like a stanky and slimy pussy. People that live in philly are either too retarted to realize that they live in a shit hole or they are too poor to move anywhere else. The only things more pure than its inferiority complex to Pittsburgh is its heroin and its hatred towards progress, common sense and education. Like i said, its a dump.

Philadelphia isn't just a city that lies between the shadows of New York and Washington, it is a city where the shitty Eagles are the topic of dinner conversation year round, I mean its not like they win championships so they got to keep interest up somehow\! It is where a meal consists of a of a very fattening cheesesteak (although very good – Geno’s, stand the fuck up), nasty Natty light, soft pretzels that have had rats running all over them all night, and Tasty Kakes for dessert. Still wonder why the whole city has a weight problem? And if they aren’t fat, they’re niggers. It is also where there is a Wawa on every corner so all the fat bastards don’t have to walk far from there row home and the stupid lazy niggers don’t get lost trying to find one. Most Philly people also look forward to the 1st day of Spring when Rita's gives out free "wooder" ice – once again, benefiting the niggers that don’t wanna work – “welfare don’t pay for no water ice, sheeeiit motherfuckar\!”. It is where you know it's a hoagie, not a sub and the shore, not the beach. Most annoyingly, where every black thinks whites are afraid of them, when its OUR CITY – SIGNED THE ITALIANS\! And it is ok to say hello to someone you don't know if they are a birds fan, especially when your team has 5 Superbowl wins and numerous NFC Championship appearances whereas the “birds” go to the ship’ and loose once every 20 years *cough* McChoke *cough*. That is Philadelphia, the city of Unbrotherly Fat Lazy Niggers And Scumbags Who Think Their Tough (BFLNASWTTT)... Outsiders will never understand, and LUCKY FOR THEM\!

*Walking down South Street in Philadelphia* Birds fan - Yo, Cowboys suck\! hahaha Me - Yo, when was the last time your team won a superbowl? Birds Fan - Wha...what?\!? Ill kick your ass\! Me - Ok.

i've lived in all parts of the city... Feltonville, olney, Port richmond, university city, frankford, fox chase and parkwood...and im gonna tell you that its all ghetto...all over. no matter if your in the NE or the badlands. Whereever septa runs a bus, youll find a ghetto. Whererver theres an apartment building, a mall, or a project, youll definately find a ghetto. And with the city becoming more and more desolate, jobs moving out, crime growing, economy plummiting, abondoned buildings spreading, the citie's 'badlands' will infest the "white neighborhoods" in no time. 20 years from now, youll all wish you lived in scranton, or reading, or allentown. The way things are going here, centercity wont be a community, it will be a tourist atraction and thats it. people wont live here unless they have no other choice. People who can afford it now are moving out, and thats what will continue to happen until the entire city looks like np or wp

Everyone in Philly should shove a pencil in their eye to try and forget about the pain of having to live there. I've lived here for 2 years and absolutely hate it. If it wasn't for my job, I'd move somewhere that didn't suck like Pittsburgh. At least they have one sports team that doesn't blow.
