philadelphia

Philadelphia. The city that causes hysteria within outsiders because they will never understand. The city that brings up controversy among others because once again, they will never understand. The city that is so well-known and amazing in every aspect of the word that brings the attention of "haters" to discriminate upon us because of their jealousy of our awesomeness.

The city that does not care what yuppies from other parts of our country have to say.

We are the city made up of cultural diversity and unity. We are the city made up of neighborhoods and struggle. We are the strongest among the United States...and nobody will ever change that.

We are Philadelphia.

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?

The Philadelphia

While having sex, you surprise your partner with the line, "I have AIDS", and then orgasm as he or she cries hysterically.

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

PHILADELPHIA

A rather nice city to visit but living here can be very unpleasent in certain areas especially in the North section. This city has definetly not what it used to be. when my grand parents grew up their there was not one bad area in the entire city. It is a shame that this had to happen. However it is coming back slowly. Crime has gone way down especially the amount of homocides. Many people in the city are no longer afraid to leave their own homes and in many sections the sound of gunshots is no longer an everyday occerence. I think that it should be a sin to put down the city of brotherly love especially since there are people out there working their asses off to rebuilt it and make it a desireable place to live agian. I think the main reason that the city is looked down upon so much is because of its rich suburbs. It is obvious that any persons in their right mind would rather live in Bucks county or Montgomery county because they are rich and beautiful. That still does not give you the right to put down Philadelphia.
This city will definetly! bounce back well into the 21st century.
