LOL... your own map shows and proves that Philadelphia was a Northeastern Rust Belt City, that like Pittsburgh (according your own map) is "Recovered" ... But in my summation based on data, neither city is fully recovered, they are "Recovering". Boston is what you would call a fully Recovered.

Philadelphia is in the green. Not sure what you're on about here other than trolling.

Move along.
Its always "Trolling" when the news isnt what you want to hear.

I'm on here proving that Philadelphia is IN FACT a former Rust Belt on contrary to what Philly Booster want people to believe. Both Pittsburgh and Philly are Green.

Why is Boston such a media darling? The blatant favoritism for that city is disgusting.

You can ask about Philadelphia but we gotta protect Boston at all costs.

Even though New England was rust belt.
Oh come on now, Philly and Balitmore both escape the meme "Rust Belt" because they're in the Glamorous BosWash corridor like Boston. We have brainwashed ourselves through NYC/DC media into believing that no part of the Corridor is Rust Belt. The Rust Belt magically stopped at Pittsburgh/Buffalo.

It once was a term used for area dependent on Heavy Manufacturing. Now its used as a pejorative to mock Northeastern/Northern Midwest cities as being "backwaters" towns. Philly is constantly trying to throw that shade on Pittsburgh as if Philly doesnt come from the same background with a lot of the same problems.

This is the only opinion you've shared that I agree with.

Why was this thread moved from the General Forum? the thread was meant for a national perspective not a local one?

Who moved it here?

Careful your Philly Booster Squad credentials are about to be revoked. No agreeing with logic.

I've always thought that the five SEPA counties plus South Jersey would make a great state.
It's not a new idea actually. I started hearing it about 30 years ago. Just leave the rest of PA!

Chicago is still considered rust belt, though, which surprises me.
Look at the copyright. It's from 2010.

I always thought it made sense for New York City and Philadelphia to become a part of New Jersey and become a super state.
