So I tell someone to give you a break, and I'm attacking you personally

Your comment came across more as an underhanded (in other words, a cloaked) insult than a friendly quip. Also, I'm not a "kid".

Anyhow, getting back to the discussion before these string of comments, I was just saying that "downtown" boundaries can be a contentious topic since people usually gerrymander boundaries to either promote a downtown by including neighboring vibrant 'hoods or to reduce a downtown's image by evaluating a particular city's downtown while excluding certain neighborhoods from the "downtown" definition.

Well according to gwillyfromphilly, Philadelphia has a downtown area that consists of 8 sq miles.

Well from the Schuylkill River to the Delaware River is 1.8 miles. What streets are the north/south borders for Downtown Philly?

Don't know about the north border but the south border is South Street, where Center City and South Philly meet.

It will be time when Philly surpasses Manhattan. Center City is the gold standard for downtowns.

I know its been mentioned a few times, but I don't think Miami is getting nearly enough attention on this thread compared to cities with similar downtown populations.
