Is San Diego and LA the west coast equivalent to Philly and NYC?

[UberEatsDriver]

Both got their own identity
Both within driving distance, but got their own metro

Sorry but I’m not comparing Philly to San Diego

how many pro sport franchises SD has to Philly

its really not a good analogy

San Diego doesn’t have a lot of sports teams because nobody cares, it’s way better shyt to do than sit in a crowded ass, noisey ass stadium (even though I saw my first NFL game at Qualcomm).

Btw the that description sums up the entire east coast

Philly ain’t really that similar to NY other than being close. It’s more like a DC/Baltimore hybrid.

Baltimore hybrid.


DC is different than both Baltimore and Philly.


NYC has more similarities to Boston

LA and San Fran moreso I think.


I haven’t been to SD yet but i know its crackin

San Fran is too far. Philly is literally an hour and half drive depending on where you leave nyc and end up in Philly but overall 2 hours

San Diego to LA is more like Fort Lauderdale to Miami

Fort Lauderdale to San Diego sure. Miami to LA not too sure

 

[tuckgod]

San Diego

Where’s Horton Plaza and the gas lamp district?

If someone forced me to leave that for filthy ass Philly I’d literally kill myself.

Good analogy combined DC and Bmore. One think I like about the Northeast is that you can go from NYC to Philly to Bmore to DC and all the styles, lingo is totally different. Each city has it own unique look.

Yea but I disagree with the DC. DC is a very unique east coast city. Baltimore and Philly clearly have some similarities even down to the way they talk sometimes.

Name three things most people around the country can identify is from/apart of San Diego..... I'll wait

Those powder blue Chargers unis and Ron Burgundy.

Moreso this than anything.

I'd compare NYC to Jersey before I'd compare NYC to Philly

It's like Houston and Dallas

Completely different cities, completely different politics and shyt.

not really cause one portion of Jersey is Philly and the other portion is NY.


Camden, NJ is pretty much a twin city of Philly

Read through the thread and still don't know what San Diego's identity is besides having a nice beach and a place called Lil Italy

their identity is conservative and military town

 

[UberEatsDriver]

The main strong connection nyc and Philly have is hip hop. Both cities listen to the exact same artist and deep into battle rap.

same for Jersey

Dont really matter. There’s way more to do in San Diego than Philly

a 90 min drive to LA. 6 hour drive or a short flight to Vegas. A short drive to Mexico. The beaches, the women, the vibe, the weather. It’s not even close.

If we’re using proximity as a measuring stick, Philly is a 90 min drive to Baltimore, less than a 2 hour drive to NYC, a 3 hour drive to DC, a short drive/day’s trip journey to the Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland beaches, within reach of the Poconos, less than 30+ mins from the 2nd biggest mall in America, a day’s trip to Hershey’s Park, and within an hour drive to Atlantic City.

That’s how I feel too. The only part of Philly I get that NYC vibe from is Center City, most of South Philly, and the Kensington. The rest of the city reminds me more of either DC (West Philly and parts of NW Philly) or Baltimore (SW Philly and North Philly).
