Boston easily.

A NYC dj a long time ago had it right.

"Philadelphians, too dumb to live in Boston, and too afraid to live in NY". Always got a kick out of that.

That is the most nonsensical thing I have ever read. I had no idea Bostonians were all intelligent and New Yorkers fearless.
Considering you LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA, what does that make you?

But then again, "consider the source". In this case a bitter, middle-aged Negadelphian LMAO.
Got any WC Fields quotes ready to fire? LOL

Look at the poll results, and take a trip then Boston. Then come back and talk about which city has it over the other. Boston by a landslide. btw, I love that ballpark 5 miles from town in the middle of an asphalt parking lot. Real nice.

Boston is winning the popular vote. Why didn't the Philly boosters work that "we're very similar to NYC" angle yet?
