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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
