Yet more points for Philly.

- dirty, overpriced, yet bankrupt public transportation
- stench in the streets
- 5% wage tax
- corrupt government
- an illiterate mayor
- grossly over-powerful unions
- lazy-ass entitlement work ethic of the people (see previous point)
- the Chinese food in its China town sucks
- inarguably the most obnoxious sports fans in the country (the battery incident was my favorite)

They have one of the best business schools in the country, but 95% of Wharton graduates leave Philly immediately upon graduation. They spend craploads of tax dollars trying to figure out why.

The cheesesteaks are just as good in the suburbs.

That being said, Go Eagles!


Oh, and L.A. blows horse dong as well. Probably the only city I hate more than Philly.

If you think cheesesteaks in the suburbs are just as good, you are [censored] crazy. CRAZY. That said, Philly bores me to no end.

Will you people stop with the Springfield, Waltham, Schenectady, Utica stuff....these places aren't "cities."

It's as if I were to list Roslyn or Great Neck or something.

I've spent some time in Waltham. While it wouldn't be my first choice (or 50th) of a place to live, singling a city that close to Worcester out is absurd. Worcester sucks donkey dick, no other place in MA is close in terms of crappiness IMO. Waltham is dingy, but it's not as bad as Worcester. There are other sucky places of similar size that are worse, like Fall River, for instance.
