PHILADELPHIA IS #1 ! ! !

I thought this thread was going to be about Michael Vick's claims that the Philadelphia Eagles will have the next pro football dynasty. That's a prediction that is sure to go wrong.

The inner city has been allowed to decay like a sewer.
I saw the writing on the wall in the late 70's and got out in '86 to move to west coast.
I've never ever regretted it.
Wonderful place at one time to live, grow up and experence. Not now.
Oh did I forget..... home invasions, Only 700 of them last year.....Good luck.....


Okay....duly noted. Now that you have listed the good points about Philly......what are some of the drawbacks and negatives about this fine metropolis ?

So I wonder how they determine how one city beats the other? Does someone go around counting these little buggers?

Been to Philly twice. Once when I was a kid, my cousins uncle dropped us off at the Franklin Institute of Tech which was really a great experience, and I'll never forget their experiments with liquid oxygen and making lightning strike.

My second time wasn't so memorable as we went to visit my brother-in-law and took him out to dinner at an Italian restaurant. While we were eating, someone stole the fender skirt on my 1970 Pontiac Bonneville.
