I specifically said that I've in turn lashed out myself in retaliation, but for the record I've never had anything against Philly; no matter what anyone may think (especially you). Things can quicky change when I'm under fire, make no mistake. That's when the gloves typically come off.
She told the absolute truth. That's a damn shame, you would choose some mess to address me about...SMH!
I think the comment was more related to over boosterism of your city. Portraying in ways that seem far over reaching

Totally off topic but since we're already here, I think the city speaks for itself just as Philly does. But it simply isn't relavent or applicable to every thread or topic created here. I don't feel the need to go on, I like Philly period.
So you totally disagree with her views altogether?
Is she totally off base?
^^So am I to assume you're implying that I plug the city into damn near every hole that I can cram it in on CD? Give me a break!
That would be a wrong assumption.

And while we're on that topic, weren't you the one attempting to place one city in the same category with another twice it's size? Hmmmm, I guess we all have some spring cleaning to do don't we?
That would be another incorrect assumption, but if you look back at that situation that's a good example of the BS that I called you on. Somebody makes an opinion about certain cities that you don't agree with and you have ***** fits. That's not retaliation, that's just.........
Don't sit there and say things like "See, this is why there will never be peace... I specifically said that I've in turn lashed out myself in retaliation... That's a damn shame, you would choose some mess to address me about...SMH!" when all of those make up your M.O. times 2.
Then you had to nerve to post this.

Sometimes the topics are just too ridiculous to even chime in, but it's an undenyable pattern here on CD. As a result, I always end up pointing out the obvious which in turn looks like bashing, but it's really more of a defense mechanism than anything else.
No matter how true what Blackbeauty212 is saying. That ^ is not true at all.

Philly is always presented as the benchmark of what a "real" city is supposed to be on CD when I just don't see it that way at all. I see Philly as more of a place of interest and fascination, sort of like New Orleans from a historical standpoint.
So what is a "real" city supposed to be? Let me guess, it's "pristine" and green and oh so "upscale" right.

It just gets so damn annoying, but I won't allow these pinheads to alter my perception or vision no matter what they type. I still enjoy Philadelphia wholeheartedly, but I (like you) would like to see more of an acknowledgement of it's shortcomings because it's just not in line with what's depicted here to me either.
However, if someone acknowledges the shortcomings of certain cities because what they see isn't in line with what you depict you have to go drop a load.

...as you put it. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

wow! those are really nice! where exactly is the picture of Detroit from? what area? I don't recall seeing that particular home. You can see some similarities between the homes too as far as architecture, omitting the oakland home. It seems a little more modern. The Cleveland one actually looks very similar to Indian Village homes here
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

Where are all my Camden Buffalo and Newark ppl at? I know I didn't put you all in the title but feel free to comment as well. Seeing how this thread turned out maybe I should have either Camden or Newark or Buffalo in the title

That home is located at 97 Winder Street, which is in Brush Park.
