"Airports up and down the East Coast are warning of similar problems as they prepare for the storm to move north up through Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, all the way to New York and eventually Boston. "
Wintery Nightmare: Northeast Braces for Storm
A Massive Snowstorm is About to Wallop Washington, New York and Boston
The figures you cite, are in fact the CORRECT ones.
When you include Washington and Baltimore together, as you can see, it is larger than Philly's. Simple metropolitan areas, Philly is slightly larger than Washington.
I just find it kind of amazing that Philadelphians tend to have a major inferiority complex when it comes to their Mid Atlantic/ Northeastern brethern cities. Perhaps that is why Philadelphia sports fans tend to be the most violent, obnoxious, rude, and nasty.. across the board. Its a way for them to take out thier aggression on other cities that makes them feel less inferior. They definintely have THE WORST reputation amongst all sports fans, regardless of the sport. Just sayin....

In all due respect you lose all accountability when you have to start combining 2 completely independent metroes. Washington and Baltimore are seperate metroes. If you combine the DC /Bal metroes you are talking about close to 10,000 sq miles. Philadelphia is 5,000 sq miles. If Philadlephia played the DC/Bal game and claimed equidistant Allentown,Atlantic City, Trenton,Reading, Lancaster it would have 10 million people. Lets stick with the PMSA for arguments sake.

Ahh yes. I'm surprised you didnt mention that we threw snowballs at Santa Claus. You are probably barking up the wrong tree on this one. With that fraud of a transient fanbase Washington has you might want to avoid mentioning fan support altogether. There are some skeletons you just want to keep in the closet. The Nationals regulary drew 8,000 TV viewers a night last year, I mean that is absolutely ridiculous.
Philly fans are passionate and loyal not obnoxious and nasty and will try to help their team win any way possible. Its not an inferiority complex its all about being a real city with prideful deep roots.We dont have international aristrocrats and governmental employees skipping through town like DC. Philadelphia is a parochial anchor that dates back generations and generations.
Well all I can say is: Maryland is within three of the nations largest metropolitan areas including Philly, Baltimore, and Washington, so we all have something in common...LOL
Do you have anything to say about the actual subject? If not, why revive a dead thread? Just to remind us it was dead?
