A valley of humility between two mountains of conceit New York and Washington.

Some people say North Carolina is very Philadelphia, with the mountains of conceit being Virginia and South Carolina.

Philthydelphia...city of Brothers on Drugs. I hate Philly. It's dirty, it smells, the people can't drive, are completely unfriendly, have the most juvinile, obnoxious sports fans, the roadway system sucks, the eagles suck, the flyers suck, the sixers suck, the phillies suck, I suck for having to live here, I'm too depressed to continue. Everyone in Philly should shove a pencil in their eye to try and forget about the pain of having to live there. I've lived here for 2 years and absolutely hate it. If it wasn't for my job, I'd move somewhere that didn't suck like Pittsburgh. At least they have one sports team that doesn't blow.

"Wow, that guy's an a-hole. Yeah, must be from Philadelphia." Or, "Wow, that girl's really a whore. Yeah, she's from Philly."

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.

AKA "The City of Brothers in Love" 1. A dirty, bum ridden sesspool with all of the vile attitude of New York, but with none of the charm 2. Best place to find a cheesesteak 3. An area of the country where no one knows how to drive. 4. a cesspool

1. "I got a workout from walking through the streets of Philadelpia; the profuse scatter of bums sleeping on the sidewalks created an obstacle course for me to highstep." 3. "When you visit Philadelphia, find some sort of an alternate form of transportation. You never want to step foot in an automobile, for you might lose your life or, even worse, pick up the bad driving habbits." 4. "There are nice and decent people in the city of Philadelphia, but don't expect to encounter any of them."
