[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Philly -- massive insecurity re NYC. Constant need to prove that NYC  isn't all that. In reality it's full of people who don't leave Philly bc they can't make it anywhere else; they need to be where they were born and raised bc preferential treatment re hiring is alive and well. Don't like outsiders. Not the brightest lights in the harbor. The only city that seems to look down on the ivy league school in its cities. 'Nova, Temple, Rutgers, and Penn State grads get hired constantly over UPenn grads bc UPenn students are thought of as elitists or outsiders -- even the ones that WANT to stay in Philly after college.[/quote]

+1. Philly is just insecure in general.  No one cares about philly. [/quote]

I dislike everyone I meet from Philly. 
They are arrogant and egotistical, and racist. And so overly proud of their city, which is a crummy s-hole.   Good food though! [/quote]

I feel the same about Philly, which I always think of as Filthadelphia.  I took Amtrak there from DC and it went through I swear shantytowns.  The scene looked like a favela.  It is criminal that they've allowed the public schools (not talking about surrounding suburbs) in Philly to fall to shit... much worse situation than DC.  The people seemed very defensive; very proud townies who think Philly is the absolute best even though they've never been anywhere else. And I hate that weird accent they have.
