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 day. 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.
Doesn't surprise me you are from there.

Without San Franciscos aesthetically pleasing looks, its just a dump full of stinking bums and is just lame and uninteresting.

Don't live in SF. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't.

So the fact that Philly has lost 30% of its population and the city is one stop away from falling into utter chaos means something?

I know people get dinged for discussing history for Philly - but your comment relates to when, 30-40 years ago?
