First of all

1) Atlanta is growing, Philly is stagnant
2) Atlanta job scene is much better
3) Atlanta has the better airport
4) Atlanta's projected job growth is better than Philly
5) Atlanta is the most important city in the SE...Did Philly even make the top 5 in the NE? maybe
6) Atlanta is known more across the world vs. Philly...DO we need to start a poll in the World forum?

But on the list Atlanta is number 16 and Philadelphia is number 9 in the World.

What are you talking about? You know who I am...I'm the person who asked this questions....

You are the one that brought up Atlanta as being so powerful. I just proved to you that Philadelphia's GDP is 312 billion and ranked 9th in the World, while Atlanta's is 236 Billion and ranked 16th in the World.

I choose NYC, but I love Philly as well. If I did not live in NYC, I would probably live in Philly or Jersey.

You didn't prove anything. That's GDP and if you're going to say that I guess you're admitting that Houston and Dallas are more powerful than Philly.... Plus within 5-10 yrs Atlanta's will pass Philly BTW

You got to come better than that.

Now why would Philadelphia go against NYC? This is silly. I would say NYC first and then Philly. But both are great cities.

Yep you are so right about that. They are not fooling anyone here.
