Come on we all know Philly crime problems go alot deeper than a couple of purse snatching by a couple of kids....
While Center City is mostly safe...the Rest of Philly has serious violent crime problems....Thank god the cop killing have stopped...that was getting ridiculous and in broad daylight.
So after this long ridculous list...they only clear take away is Philly has Hub status airport....But Pittsburgh International is rated as one of the best in the world and is still fairly accessible.
Oh great knowing one, your asking questions about things that one who knows anything about Philly should know. Mutter compared Science Museum - ok
Look up ENIAC
this is fuedal, Parkersburg WV has an art museum so they are in the same league too, on Convention center, for now, check back in 3 months, expansion construction is just about done. Pittsburgh has no answer for the Art Museums I listed and I forgot Barnes too (no answer there either) you guys do have us on Warhol
There is no hospital in the world even close to CHOP in peds, ranks #1 in 22 of the 24 major ped categories and #2 on the remainder, I didn't see Pittsburgh on that list
but whatever
You will not accept any of this anyway, fine
Oh and on the Iron chefs, yes they do reside her, though both were lured to open places in NY (surprised not thr Burgh) a third has a restaurant in Philly. In fact the US show is based on a Philly chef
BTW - I am definately a Heintz ketchup guy - thank you
the corrupt mayor (john street) has been out of office since 2008
comcast center and one liberty place are both in philly and taller than usx tower. also a new skyscraper is gonna be built in philly (american commerce center) and will be 1,510 ft
I dont see whats wrong with the first thing on the list (ivy league school)
and there is no museum like the philadelphia museum of art, because of the rocky steps.
please try to understand this next paragraph because honestly im not always the best at wording things:
I never said the only crime in philly were muggings. your kinda overexaderating the crime in philly. i know its crime rate is higher than pittsburgh, but philly is not the only city with crime. every city has crime. when you keep listing examples of crime that happened in philly (like the corrupt mayor that has been out of office for 2 years, or the person on this forum that was mugged, or the cops that were shot) your acting like pittsburgh is a perfect, crime free city. every city has crime, and no city is perfect. im sure pittsburgh has had crime happen, that I could find examples of and post on here to make it look bad. honestly I think thats the reason why you keep talking about the crime; to make philly look bad. Every person agreed that pittsburgh has less crime, so I dont see a reason to bring that up in arguements.
So after this long ridculous list...they only clear take away is Philly has Hub status airport....But Pittsburgh International is rated as one of the best in the world and is still fairly accessible.
Oh I forgot the most imprtant differance for which Pittsburgh has no answer
Oh great knowing one, your asking questions about things that one who knows anything about Philly should know. Mutter compared Science Museum - ok
Heard of the Carnegie Science Center
this is fuedal, Parkersburg WV has an art museum so they are in the same league too, on Convention center, for now, check back in 3 months, expansion construction is just about done. Pittsburgh has no answer for the Art Museums I listed and I forgot Barnes too (no answer there either) you guys do have us on Warhol
Please the Carnegie Musuem of ART is right up with there with the Philadelphia....I provided the link look it up....
There is no hospital in the world even close to CHOP in peds, ranks #1 in 22 of the 24 major ped categories and #2 on the remainder, I didn't see Pittsburgh on that list
Doesnt Matter - Pittsburgh offers one the largest and most advanced Childrens Hospitals Campuses in the World....but that doesn't matter Both cities offer comparable childeren services.
but whatever
You will not accept any of this anyway, fine
No I can't because you still haven't proven anything.....I've matched offering for offering. that's this whole debate is about....
Oh and on the Iron chefs, yes they do reside her, though both were lured to open places in NY (surprised not thr Burgh) a third has a restaurant in Philly. In fact the US show is based on a Philly chef
Again what do they offer that you can't get in Pittsburgh...I dont care about Celebrity status.
BTW - I am definately a Heintz ketchup guy - thank you That's good to know.
