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"

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.
