For you A$$holes that are constantly bashing Phila

[jarntt]

They actually both love Ohio and would gladly move back, but their asshole significant others basically demand they stay in Philly because they can't cut the umbilical cord, so they have to settle for horrible commutes, an unjustified high cost of living, and driving around to 4 different places to buy alcohol, unfortunately.

Yeah, but the great Schools

sidenote: I love the inclusion of the driving around to 4 different places to buy alcohol. I don't know what it means exactly but it's great that it is part of their decision on where to live

OP - I like Philly. One of my favorite cities.

They don't sell alcohol at groceries store or gas stations. I remember the first time I went out there it took us over an hour because we wanted beer and whiskey and my friend's co-workers that were hanging out wanted us to get them wine. It's the dumbest shit I've ever had to do.

I thought they changed their idiotic alcohol rules recently.

I think you can go to certain WaWa's and get it, but not all of them.

Not any more. Grocery stores sell beer and wine now. You have to still go to a state store for the hard stuff though.

I thought it was only certain places. Do they all sell it now?

I didn't read it but I always take these as Fluff pieces and half the guys say the same crap. Actions speak louder than words. Honest question because I don't know if people are making this up or not. Did he really live in Jersey?

I have no idea where he lived. People that live directly across the river or within a 50 to 100 mile radius from center city Phila consider themselves as in the Phila area, and most are Phila fans. Most of the people that live in that radius either moved there from Phila or their parents made the move.
In the old days, just about every Flyer lived across the river in NJ.

They should have had significant others if the Phila area is such a problem for them.

The ones I go to (Giant and Wegmans) do. Not sure about other ones but they’re big chains around here.

Yeah, it's still metro. How many of these athletes actually live IN the city they play in? Most live out in the burbs.

In Phila I think it is still Beer Distributors for beer needs, and State Stores for Alcohol. It is an outdated system, the state sells the alcohol, there has been attempts to break up that monopoly but it always seems to go away. If you go across the river to NJ you can get anything you want in 1 place.

I'm not sure what it says about Philly, but Southwest Jersey isn't exactly known for it's incredible Schools or quality of life...

Our liquor and beer/wine are sold separately, but a lot of times it'll still be in the same building (grocery store), at least.

Really? Outside of the Camden School District, from what I have always been told, NJ has very good schools, that is why they pay so much in taxes.

Naturally, they're both just better people than their significant others.

I am not sure you read the article. He said he wants his daughter to call Philadelphia her hometown. He also mentions he loves the area, the organization, the city and the fans. I don't know how much more comprehensive he could have been.

OK - fair enough. He stated his daughter would call it her hometown since she was born there & had some other kind words.

Again - why do you care how others perceive Philly? I was born there but have no desire to live anywhere near there but so what. I have lived in various parts of the country & each of them have pros and cons. Folks also are going to value the area where they live & were raised more than any outsiders. Again - just enjoy it & your team & don't worry about the opinions of others.

Philadelphia is an unflushed toilet.

Isn't that most of the country other than northern Florida?
