For the third year in a row, residents and visitors have voted Philadelphia the city with the least attractive people, according to a survey by Travel + Leisure.
But that's not all; the City of Brotherly Love also ranked as the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldy by 60,000 respondents who ranked 30 cities in several categories ranging from food to nightlife to culture. On the bright side, the beauty of the museums and art galleries was enough to boost Philly to the third spot in the Historical Sites/Monuments category.

Well, they just gotta keep the uglies outta the museums and they’ll get a bump again next year! :)
They must be suicidal, too. Last time I drove there, I nearly hit about 5 pedestrians in 15 minutes. They just step out into the street without looking.
Also, in an “ethnic” neighborhood, the barbecue grills were blocking one lane.
And their are cheering the dog-torturer Michael Vick.
Just this year Chicago fell in the rankings while D.C. rose. Go figure.
They’re looking to hit paydirt when they win that lawsuit against you for negligent driving. Hopefully they’ll get enough for an extreme makeover.
“Sire, the people are revolting!”
“You betcha — they stink on ice!”
They looked good last night. BEAT THE YANKEES!
That can’t be right. Da Mayor must have used some of that $100 million for the Olympics bid on bribing the Chicago’s ranking downward.
Last time I was in Philly, I got depressed very quickly. What a bleak, drab town. And the buildings/streets were dreary too!
The only nice folks I know in the Philly area are imports from upstate NY, so they don’t count.
Philly sucks. Last year two of my friends and I almost got mugged (and in the case of my friends, it would have been a black-on-black mugging, LOL).
Tennessee (except for Memphis), Indiana, and upstate SC, in comparison, are freaking awesome.
No wonder Ben Franklin skipped town and didn't come back.
Was looking for Baltimore, but found:
#19 Las Vegas
Visitors may be coming for the “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” attitude, but they aren’t coming to check out attractive locals. They do, however, appreciate the glam city’s luxury hotels (#1), big-name restaurants (#4), and people-watching (#3).
#27 Washington, D.C.
Policy wonks may strike visitors to the nation’s capital as intelligent (the city ranks #6 in the category), but apparently not as visually appealing as Miami’s beachgoers. For the third year in a row, Washington finishes strongly for family vacations (#2), historic monuments (#1, duh), and museums (#1).
I just got back from my first trip to Vermont. Never been to Philly, but it’s hard to imagine that the people there are uglier than the people in Vermont. Even the women had beards and looked like loggers.
All the “Hot Babes” marry rich ugly Men and move to the “Main Line” which is right outside of the City.
I don’t get it. I love Philly. I’m from the south too. I think it’s a great city, although, I do live in the suburbs. I like to travel to the city though. The art museum is one of my favorites and I love the Independence Hall area.
These people have never visited New Orleans.
having met Ed Rendell in person, I do not disagree
(To be fair, the folks in many white neighborhoods in Northeast Philly aint exactly the most attractive in the world, ditto the cows in places like Bellmawr across the river).
Miami had the hottest women of any place I have lived. And I am NOT talking about the poseurs on South Beach either.
