Some people say North Carolina is very Philadelphia, with the mountains of conceit being Virginia and South Carolina.

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.

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
