Again - no.

Anyway, this is all irrelevant because Princeton, NEW JERSEY is in neither Philly nor NYC's downtowns, same with anywhere else in Mercer or Ocean Counties. I find we in NJ have to remind our lovely neighbor city residents across the rivers of this when they attempt to use us (as they please, also discard us as they please) for bragging rights - the coast, Princeton University, etc.

Over 120 colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region including two ivy league schools. World class art museum ect. So what is Tennessee doing that so great ?
Twenty percent of all doctors get their training in Philadelphia? That can't possibly be correct.

Is there a link to this information somewhere? My son-in-law is a doctor, and didn't go near Philadelphia. Nor, did any of his MD friends.

That's still pretty impressive, though, if true.

It's impressive, but what is considered trained? Educated there? Residency there?

In my experience DTLA and downtown Boston are about the same size. Boston's is a lot nicer though. Not sure which city has more residents, if you count Back Bay then Boston would probably get the edge.

Sick picture of Toronto above.
Yes, he probably is including Princeton. But Mercer Co is not part of of the Philly metro area. The only NJ counties that are are Camden, Burlington and Gloucester.

Truthfully, I was talking about med schools that are within Phila. city borders. Not Philly metro.

Has anyone actually posted a list of downtowns by population in this thread? I'd be curious to see where each city stands.
