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?

Philly is awesome. It's so much cooler than New York. I'd so much rather say I'm from philly than NY because EVERYBODY is from NY, and that's so boring.
-So, where are you from?
-New York.
-Wow, how did I know you were gonna say that.
The sign at the Philadelphia city line with Montgomery County on City Ave:
WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA
ENJOY OUR PAST
EXPERIENCE OUR FUTURE
(and try to forget about our present)

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.

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"
