Philly Boosters want you believe IT IS NYC, when compared to Pittsburgh .... and that's anything but True.

I will continue to refute that bit of Fake News, I'm not trying to win over the Philly Boosters.

It's always Trolling when the opinion is NOT one you want to hear .... Sorry that claim is Overused and Tired! .. I'm sure many Philly boosters have reported me, and yet I'm still here giving my opinion, deal with it.

Philadelphian's only compare their city to NYC because of the close proximity... and nobody is saying Philadelphia is on an equal level to NYC. EVERYBODY in Philadelphia will say that NYC is an infinitely better city. Philly and NYC, like Boston and NYC, are sports rivals first. Secondly, Philadelphian's basically look up to NYC and us it as an example for how Philadelphia can continue to make itself a better place. Nobody is saying Philadelphia is close to NYC.

Philadelphia's peers are San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Dallas and Washington DC. These fall under the big 3 of NYC, Chicago and LA.

Sorry Philadelphia is not on the level of these cities. It seriously under performs just about every city you've listed save for Miami.



Again with the Fake News.

True to form: As I wrote, your posts nearly always guarantee a good laugh.

I'd hate to see you banned.

BB why do keep saying Philly boosters, when you post more stuff attempting to flaunt Pittsburgh and downplay Philadelphia than anyone else on here? That is the definition of a booster.....


And I think you aren't comprehending other peoples posts, because you keep saying we think Philadelphia is like NYC, can you quote and post on here where someone said that because I can't find it.


Other Pittsburgh posters actually contribute to the discussion, debate civilly, and appreciate positivity in both cities, which is why I acknowledge their posts, your charts and word vomit are shadows to me.


For everyone else, BB will never appreciate anything positive that Philadelphia does, so why bother even trying to be civil with here, just ignore.

Lol. You love graphs. You like to cherry pick the weirdest things to try to prove that Philadelphia is such a terrible place.

Dallas: $504B
Washington DC: $471B
San Francisco: $411B
Philadelphia: $391B

Sorry, but it's not. Pittsburgh has a nice regional theater scene, but it's not a top national theater scene in the US like Philadelphia is.
