Do you like freedom and the existence of America? Then Philly is right where it belongs.

I’m mildly terrified at how much the blind hatred of Philly has subsided. People used to dismiss us as just another Cleveland or Baltimore, so we were the best kept secret on the East Coast. But now, people are realising that we’ve got everything DC and Boston have, and like 80% of what New York has, but we’re…

I feel like Philly got the nod because of cheesesteaks and the fresh Prince
