West coast vs. East coast (live, state, crime, population)

[pollster31]

why are cali people so interested in our ethnicities. i thought it was supposed to be some paradise where everyone sings songs and holds hands while looking at the sky dreaming about unicorns?

swear, all they think about is race all the time.

Unlike the west coast are demographic is constantly changing & the minorities are always swapping neighbrohoods although yeah you've got main influences but there not in your face.If you come over here you might have an ear eye & throat Doc as a Jew but a Brazilian might sell you a cell phone.So it's all over the place now.Italians do have ther own neighborhood near the Marina not to far from where the rocky statue used to be & the Vets stadium ...but anyway you question me all you want I choose WAWA anyday over Winchels.

Yeah that's funny & probably happened but Jersey has there own thing going on & Philly definitely gives South Jersey a hard time @ times & vice versa when they com over here.But yeah they have close ties to each other so never try to play one against the other in a real life scenerario you'll get tag teamed.You go to a Phillies game & now your an expert I got family from S.West off of Bartram ave & I hang there all the time no problems also got Family in N. East & Cheltenham NO PROBLEMS & if anything Jersey is more like NY not Philly to different styles.Nice try

Whatever. Philly hasn't been a first rate city since the mid 20th century. That title has belonged to NYC, Chicago, and LA with LA now #2 and Chicago #3.

Aside from good Italian and Jewish food and cheesesteaks and pretzels, there really isn't much going on. The nightlife is ok, but nothing spectacular. The history is cool, but you can see it in a da. Entire swaths of the city are crime infested filth pits, which is really a shame since there is so much civic pride.

Reminds me of a play on the old Philadelphia slogan: Remember our past, experience our future, forget about our present.

I'm not going anywhere you just seem to be such an expert on the racial and ethnic dynamics of Philly, a large part of the East Coast, and the West Coast.
