Philadelphia, a once vibrant and prosperous city, with many magnificent theaters, venues for entertainment...and now
NOTHING BUT A GIANT PULSATING DISGUSTING BOIL WHICH MUST BE CURED BEFORE ANYTHING GOOD CAN COME OF IT.
Reform and restoration can only come from within with citizens who care and are willing to work at it.
IT WON’T HAPPEN...IT IS LEFT WITH BEING UNSALVAGABILE FOREVER.
Glad we were able to excape.
Was one of the top healthcare and health research centers in the country; massive numbers and types of educational institutions and museums; a great great town for foodies (either for dining out or for market shopping); fantastic all-city festivals; a patchwork quilt of old-time ethnic neighborhoods where others could come to taste the speciality cuisines or attend the church bazaars; great sports venues and events; hundreds of historic establishments from one of the oldest cities in the country; every kind of high-culture community such as for opera, ballet, horticulture, crafts, on and on; and formerly a very friendly populace who lived the motto, "city of brotherly love."
In ruins.
