I have no problem with 'Negadelphians' (as long as they're honest). There's a lot to be negative about.

The positives outweigh the negatives! Learn to smile and life live instead of obsessing over the ugly. The city persevered through a foreclosure crisis and crime spike in '08, I see no reason why it can't continue it's resurgence post-pandemic.

First it's racist, then it's hyped up.

How about just acknowledging those violent crime numbers are real, and something has to be done about it?

In 2014, I was on this site promoting the amazing and promising renaissance in regard to reduced crime and investment. So, wrong again.

And I suppose it's easy to have a positive attitude when you and your family are not getting shot to death. But then again that only affects the poor and desolate minorities far from prosperity, so no need to bother with those people.

Huh, Maybe it's both!


How about you stay on the Montreal forum?

Not even sure why or how you got here, Philadelphia isn't in your top forums.

I'll never smile ... obsessing over the ugly keeps me going.


Why don't you start posting about the positives instead of obsessing over crime posts?
