Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have always had a kind of love/hate relationship. We're joined by history and boundaries, but divided by more than 300 miles on the turnpike and more than 1 million people in population (we admit it, Philly's bigger).
We might poke fun at the weird accents and food tastes of the other, but just like brothers, we'll defend those same idiosyncrasies against all outsiders.
And this weekend, most Pittsburghers will take up arms to root on the Philadelphia Eagles against the much-despised New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

I’ve spent most of my life in Pittsburgh, and can tell you that is actually a hate/hate relationship.
Exactly right. If NJ wanted to annex Filthadelphia we wouldn’t stand in their way.
Even Camden or Cherry Hill won't take them!
Why we love Philly...and it’s not just because it’s not New England.
Yes it is (I’m not from Pittsburgh)
You do realize this is FreeRepublic and not DU, don't you? I think you're on the wrong site!
I see you avoided the question, did you or did you not boycott the state of the union? I mean same criteria you use for boycotting the nfl a bunch of anti American protesters, why are you such a hypocrite? And seeing as you and him and antics are all in agreement perhaps you should go to du

You need help answering the question? Did you boycott the sotu because of anti American protesters?
SCREW THE NFL!
Add Chris Maragos to the list...
We would carve out just a slight enclave to include the airport, seaport and the historical sites downtown. NJ gets the rest, including the leftwing suburbs.
Just rename it “West Camden”, and give it to the People’s Republic of New Jersey.
Both states would be improved.
The George Washington Bridge connects New Jersey to New York. Could you be referring to the Ben Franklin Bridge?
Too bad the thread jackers have arrived to turn this into an NFL thread. Could it be that they didn’t even bother to read the article?
