Philadelphia 

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.

Philadelphia is a wonderful town to live in.

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.

"That girl is very down to earth and outgoing."

"Oh, yes she's from Philadelphia."

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

Person 1: Yo where u from?

Philadelphia 

"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 of our city and our passion for sports.

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.

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?
