You're being quite hypocritical with that last statement. Please clarify your last statement. i mean Baltimore is larger than DC if that says anything. OR are you saying Baltimore is a ghetto. please, do tell

ha...that was funny.


But seriously, I don't think Philly needs anyone 'beseeching the masses' on it's behalf.

Be glad the spotlight is off you for awhile.

Ferment something new in the dark.

Philly is probably the most forgotten big city.

I don't see it as forgotten. I was just there. People seem to talk about it.

I didn't realize Philadelphia was so forlorn and unloved.

Maybe it's your proximity to New Jersey.

How about you work to make Philly a place to remember? It could help.
