Does any city make another city irrelevant the way NYC does Philly

Atlanta to Charlotte

Ain't Flint a suburb of Detroit? That's not a good comparison.

FLINT IS A GOOD HOUR AWAY FROM DETROIT ON THE HIGHWAY.

Joey Jihad versus Shea Davis lol

Garbage ass thread not even going to get into the differences and how they are not related at all.

Think about it. Philly has 1.5 million people. It is the second largest city on the east coast. Its crazy to think if NYC never existed philly would be a top 3 most talked about place in the country, but since NYC DOES exist, philly isnt even top 10.


Only other city that remotely comes close is LA making San Diego completely irrelevant, but even still Philly is leaps and bounds a better city than San DIego with more history and diversity, yet NYC just makes it a non factor to 99% of people.

good... keep all the fukking tourists and extra high ass prices away from us

San Francisco makes Sacramento irrelevant.

Lol he’s kinda right. Matter a fact we are in the shadow of DC, Philly, and NYC. DC only 45 minutes away and the cities are exactly the same size but it’s the nations capital. Philly is 90 minutes away but is much more similar to us. Houses are the same, slang, style of dress etc but has double the population. NY is NY. We get lost in the shuffle which is why this city has a huge inferiority complex

DC and Philly's metro areas are actually about the same size, with DC just passing Philly. A lot of people here in DC work and hang out in the city, but don't necessarily live within city limits. DC's population is steady growing while Philly and BMore is stagnant.

Philly is being gentrified now

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

New York would make ANY city irrelevant besides LA and the Chi.

And why you picking on Philly bro? No one talks bad about Philly. Philly is one of the dopest cities in this damn country, surprisingly as a east coast city. They call it the city of brotherly love for a reason. Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet are from Philly.

The chi is NOTHING compared to LA, MIA, HOU, ATL or NYC you really tried to sneak that in there

I've always said Philly is a poor man's New York.

In terms of location, Philly is GOAT. 90 mins from NYC and 2 hours from DC. About 45 mins from Baltimore. Also, you get the "big city" feel of NYC (to a degree) but get the cost of living of Baltimore for the most part.

Philly is actually pretty dope

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

As far as East Coast cities it gets talked about less than NYC but more than Boston.

Don't Jack that. Boston and NYC get compared often and for good reason nyc is the big homie boston is the lil cuzzo

I always thought Philly was pretty white and segregated in visiting over the years. What's it like to actually live there?


New York is a world class city if you can afford it and have that level of ambition.

NYC lowkey owes a some dues to Philly urban culture, as it's the true home of disco music(hip hop's parent genre) and modern graffiti.

I dunno breh I used to stay out there between the 2 cities and I went to Baltimore way more

One night way back me and my homie was in some random ass hood part of bmore and asked some dudes where the hoes was at (we were like 19/20) and they pointed down this dark ass alley looking mad sheisty.

We looked at each other like

Walked down that sheisty ass alley, got to the end and low and behold it was a club full of hoes

Baltimore been good with me ever since

Soon as u get in DC from 295 it's tranny central

You were prolly driving down Rhode Island Ave or was near Sursum Corda since those where the trannies be at. You wanna find some females on the street to get wit, you and your boy should ask around like y’all did up Bmore

-One of the most visited places in the world
- Willis Tower is the second tallest building in the US

And I’m not even from Chicago. Tell em @Barnett114 @Marti
