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.
Do you really need an example about what Philadelphia is like after all that stuff I just wrote? Really?
