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.

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

Philadelphia
(A.K.A. "The City of Brothers in Love")
1. A dirty, bum ridden city with all of the harsh attitude of New York City, but with none of the charm
2. the best place to find a decent cheesesteak
3. An area of the country where no one knows how to drive
4. a cesspool
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. You never want to step foot in an automobile, for you might lose your life or, even worse, pick up the bad driving habbits."
4. "There are nice and decent people in the city of Philadelphia, but don't expect to encounter any of them."

Okay, okay, I may be a bit biased here since I live and grew up in Northeast Philly, but hear me out. Philadelphia is an amazing city. It's the home of the Eagles and what might be the BEST FOOTBALL SONG EVER (suck it pittsburgh), it's home of the cheesesteak, the Liberty Bell, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, New York City is only 3 hours away, there's a Wawa on every corner of every street, the people are energetic and love eachother like family, Center City is beautiful and there's a lot of shops, it's incredibly diverse, one of the most advanced public middle schools is down here, and most importantly, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written downtown. But nothing is perfect. There's always the violent drunkards and drug dealers in north philly, there's a bit of a rat infestation in south philly, everyone's a shitty driver and is a bit too passionate about the Eagles, the Flyers suck ass, and it can get really stupid and conservative. But hey, at least we're not Detroit! (sorry dad)
Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love... I can see where that comes from.
a social space in which nothing you want is actually available, where the only reasonable response is to ask for the opposite of what you want in order to get it.
Antonyms: a New York or Los Angeles, where whatever you want is always there
I am stuck in a Philadelphia. I wish I were in a New York.

A city that is cursed and will never win anything. How does one football team make it to the conference finals three years in a row. How do they flyers lose to the lightning. And worst of all how does smarty jones go Undeafted The hole year and loses his last race
Philadelphia is cursed
