Philly has better and more affordable food not on the high end as well. Check out Reading Terminal Market.

As much as I think about 99.9% of what you post is laughable BS, the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia is awesome. I wish Quincy Market could follow this model.

I'm more of a rural person but from experience I'd say Boston...Philly is more crime ridden and more of a backwards joke.

Another Philly hater? I just read your last 3 posts and they are all negative things about Philly. I can understand if you dislike the city but I don't understand why people post things that just aren't true.

I'm still bewildered why more people would vote for Boston. This poll should be 80% in favor of Philly!!

I guess some people are wicked re-tah-ded.

Maybe he thinks it's Boston, VA, VS Phillidelphia, MS.

Because Boston is a nicer city. It's a no-brainer.

I walked through North End around noon and stayed for 2 hours. After that I went to see Boston Common, the Public Garden, and Copley Square/Trinity Church. Then I headed to MIT to visit some people who asked me to join them for dinner in Chinatown. After dinner, I headed back to my hostel.
And you didn't see any people?

Huh.

They must have been testing the neutron bomb without our knowledge. It must be really effective, too, to clean out what is easily the second-most-vibrant urban core on the east coast.

Your posts reek of hyperbole, GTL. It's amusing to watch you spin these lies to try to prove a point.

Unlike other Boston defenders, I have no great love of Philadelphia. I think it's a dirty city that's seen better days, has a rampant and out-of-control issue with slums, and hugely-overrate sports teams. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's not only way behind NYC, Boston, Atlanta, DC and Charlotte in terms of east coast cities, but isn't even as nice as Pittsburgh.

Another Philly pollyanna? What we're not allowed to have our opinions? Another irony in the supposed birthplace of freedom
Not true? I'll bet dollars to cheesesteaks you do not even reside within city boundaries...
