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.

But hey - we also got the highest wage tax in the country and an 8% sales tax!

Just this year Chicago fell in the rankings while D.C. rose. Go figure.

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.

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).

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.

RACIST!

(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.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because these rankings of attractiveness are all screwed up in my opinion.

San Antonio near the bottom??? Texas women are among the most beautiful in the country and San Antonio’s are no exception.

Just look at an Iggles football game. Everyone there looks morbidly obese and look like they will die of a coronary any minute. Does anyone in Philly excercise?

Obviously, it's time for all the Philadelphia haters to come out. Even the article lies about the survey:

the City of Brotherly Love also ranked as the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldy

http://www.travelandleisure.com/afc/2009/city/philadelphia/

While true it was least attractive, that is the only category it is last in. There's no need to lie like this.

Only because none of the pollers ever made it out of Detroit alive.
