There is nothing, and I mean nothing, redeeming about the dreadful city of Philadelphia. This place is an abomination and should never be compared to NYC, in any way, shape or form. If I was General of NYC, I’d invade this jackass of a city and burn it down to the ground. Actually, a burned down Philly would serve as an upgrade to this shitpile of 18th century shanty-houses.
If any of you midwest cock-blowers want to see a real city, come to NYC or Boston. All other cities in the North East are playgrounds for the zoo animals.

We have Ben Franklin and sandwiches.
Ben Franklin is dead and your cheesesteaks suck. Come to Katz’s deli for a real sandwich.
Franklin invented money, lightning, and womanizing. Can’t say much bad about six inch Reuben sandwiches at Katz at two in the morning.
Cheesesteaks and Eagles games are the one escape from the turd pile…
I saw the movie inVince able and rocky and the movie Wallstreet. Pretty much Phili is the Detroit of
the east coast thus the “underdog stories” have to come from turd fergusons backyard.
I mention the movie wallstreet for why NYC is so much better… You don’t even need to look any more.
The Eagles suck, and their fans are criminal sub-morons that make Jets fans look like the Phillps Exeter Quick Recall Varsity Squad.

How about http://www.genosteaks.com/ ?
I was there earlier. I walked from my hotel and my wife was having a mini panic attack due to the seediness of the neighborhood. It was funny.
The sandwich was fair.
Are you in Central City? Last time I was there (not long ago), it looked a lot better than when my wife was living there after college in the early 90’s.
It’s like Brooklyn Heights, for the most part.

I live in Boston metro north, and this sucks no doubt. Loved the Bill the Butcher clip last post!
Boston is great. What’s not to like about it?
Best sports town in America if not the world!
I’ve been all over,but I live in Boston. No other city comes close except for Littlerock. The nicest people around.
@ GYSC – “Boston Metro North” is for pikers. Step your game up, as I have, and transport all your belongings to Back Bay, or another ‘propeur’ [sic] environment.
As mentioned by The Fly, it is beyond comprehension why anyone would live outside of NYC or Boston. I’ve had the cheesesteaks in Philly. They were on par with product a local shop from where I grew up sold, in Rochester, NY.
It’s not NYC expensive here, but it is expensive. Mass transit is pretty bad in Boston as well. I was too hard on the area, I do live here after all.
Beacon Hill or GTFO, MF’s!

Love it down there. I’ll probably end up moving there, primarily to dodge all the Berkley Hipsters hanging around in Back Bay.
Best pack heat in Philly. It’s not as bad as Detroit but everything is relative, no?
Sam Lagrassa’s in Boston’s Financial District (www.samlagrassas.com) may rival Katz’s for the best deli sandwich in the East. The Philadelphia Mint was cool to tour with the kids and so was Independce Hall and The Reading Terminal Market. A quick walk to Chinatown for dinner wasn’t bad either. The kids might like eating at the Ikea Cafeteria in Conshohocken, lol.
NYC boy myself, but I gotta give props to Boston for producing this:
( Normally I show comedy, but this is too awesome, I’ll do music just once )

Does anyone know why Philly is known as the “City of Brotherly Love”?
Hint: NYC is anything but gay.
Au Contraire! NYC has become a gay destination under my leadership. We welcome the world’s riff-raff – the “maid” in the Strauss-Kahn case proves it.
Brill!
You should head west to the buckeye state. All sorts of fun things to do such as…. Forget it, there’s nothing to do.
Wait till you get to DC, this was last week in our lovely city.

Spacemonkey- nice video. With hundreds of people around, not a cop in sight. Beautiful……
I have heard Pittsburgh is a great place to visit in PA. Have never been there myself but love baseball and I hear PNC Park is one of the best in the game.
PNC park is awesome, much better than the Pirates. Philly and Pittsburgh are very different. Pittsburgh is a shit hole full of hicks, Philly is a shit hole full of crack heads.
Philadelphia is the most god-forsaken shitpile in all of the U.S. of A., with the possible exception of Detroit. It is a lawless place overrun by roving bands of youth that literally do the fuck as they please, mostly involving robbing and occasionally murdering people.
The funny thing is Philadelphia is experiencing a “mini-boom” whereby people of means have been duped into living back in the city center. This was all driven by the credit bubble and “property tax abatements.” All that shit is in the process of being reversed – ten years from now that will have all been reversed and Philadelphia-proper will be a place uninhabitable by anyone other than crackheads, pimps, thugs, prostitutes, and a few lawyers and bondsmen.
God help you if you paid nigh-on 7 figures for a crappy little “hip” condo, literally surrounded by some of the most murderous neighborhoods in any major american city.
Philadelphia is just like Chicago. Full of felonious negros and white collar criminals.
@monkey with no recall.ol blu eyes may have sang new york new york. but clearly his kind of town IS chicago,you recollect ol blu eyes no?
talkin shit about where i was born. fuckin new york,if it werent for high priced anything in that shit ho,youd be just as nasty as philly. and you know it
If you are an oarsman, Boathouse Row, and the bridge laden warmup along river to the rowing course up near Temples boathouse, are amazing and very unique. Otherwise I would concur.
When you are heading to Vancouver, if you give a little heads up, I will provide you with a list of places to keep you (and your family) well fed and happy.
Happy 4th to all you guys.
tw
any place where the population density is that high and i need to be that close to the average american fucktard is a shit hole to me.
Philadelphia, where the unwashed masses gather in cesspools of stink, and the women go unshaven. All body parts. Hipsters with $300 dollar sunglasesses but an otherwise hobo demeanor. WTF?
happy 4th, bbq, beers n ….
Watching “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” taught me all I need to know about Philly.

A must read.
I have been pondering something this morning.
Why is it that we call this holiday “The Fourth of July?” We don’t name any other holidays after their date.
Or Independence Day
well played….
Not that anyone cares about my opinion but I think all those cities are nasty. Too many people living all over each other like rats.
For what’s worth, friends. Joey Chestnut is better at gobbling Nathans Famous WNRs than Fly is at writing travelogues. 5 straight championships for Joey. But, Joey is no competition for RU at competitive mustache rides.
Will the Fly Family be sporting matching du rags ?
Red, Blue, or Green for Cashishe ?
Something for the boom box:

E A G L E S Go Philly beat them New York Giants.
Yeah – NYC is really cosmopolitan. I like it when the late night talk shows go into the streets of NYC and ask passers by hard questions: Q: Who is the President? A: Obama! Q: Who is the Vice President ? A: Uh, it’s that white dude isn’t it? Q: Can you name one Supreme Court Justice? A: Uh, no. Q: Who was the first President? A: You mean of the United States? Uh, I believe it was Lincoln, right? Q: Do you know who Snooky is? A: Of course! She’s on Jersey Shores!….
Wait ’til you get to Seattle. It’s drop dead gorgeous in the summer. People visit there in the summer and love it and move there. Then they are horrified to find out that summer is only 2 months long, and rest of the year is dark and rainy. And everyone gets socially withdrawn and morose from depression due to Seasonal Affective Disorder. People feel like they are under water 24/7 and can hardly move.
The Olympic Peninsula to the West of Seattle has even prettier scenery, and has only half the rain of Seattle–but it’s rural and doesn’t have many city type activities.
The city is filthy and nasty…
But you gotta go to the Reading Terminal Market and to the Italian Market (I think 13th street)
