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.

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.

Get the Paula Deen mug.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?

Get the Philadelphia mug.The Cryers - Philadelphia's "hockey team", which is comprised of nothing but goons and whiney babies. They have a spirited rivalry with the cross-state Pittsburgh Penguins, who are the 2008-2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS.
Did you see the smackdown the Pittsburgh Penguins put on the Philadelphia Cryers last night? 6-1 baby, and it should have been a shutout!!
