 Welcome to Philadelphia, the best city in the United States of America  There are many reasons as to why Philadelphia is the best city in the United States of America. Did you know that it's the only city in the U.S. to receive a World Heritage City designation? Not even its neighbor New York has one. Let's just get the best reason out of the way:  Benjamin Motherfucking Franklin The man personifies the history of Philadelphia. Worked in printing and later pioneered electricity, never mind being one of the founding fathers of this wonderful nation. Look at this piece of artwork. Don't you wish you were depicted in art like this, surrounded by angels?  He's also on the $100 bill which is commonly referred to as Benjamins. Andrew Jackson ain't got poo poo on this man.  We also have Tastykake. It's so good that we have an emoji for it.  If you haven't had any of them, well then I feel bad for you son Philly sports teams get a bad rap, but do you hate Putin and Russia? Well let's reminisce about when the Philadelphia Flyers beat the poo poo out of the USSR "Red Army" hockey team so bigly that they gave up and left the ice like little babies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE72Unn_E1A The fans are passionate as heck and that Santa Claus was some drunk skinny dude who was being obnoxious so he deserved it. Do you like food? Well hoo boy do we have food for you at the Reading Terminal Market  This place owns and that's all I'm gonna say Check out the 30th Street Station, it's art deco as heck and I'm sure Diamond Joe has probably made a few stops here:  And I don't eat them much admittedly, but cheesesteaks do still in fact own:  Philly's restaurant scene is amazing and there are a ton of BYOB restaurants. I can keep going on and on but basically Philly owns. Post about how much Philly owns ITT.

I'm gonna start reading the OP right now and see how many sentences it takes before bringing up New York (the better city). e: 4 sentences is still longer than average for how long one can talk about philly before bringing up another, better city so kudos

Counterpoint: some robot was hitching to my city and it got trashed in Philly. Counter-counterpoint: it is the city of brotherly love.

Did you know Pennsylvania was originally going to just be Sylvania but then they put Penn's name on the front against his express wishes? Well, now you do. Thanks!

Fun fact: if William Penn's associated had named it "Castlevania", nintendo would have had to have paid big bucks to use the name - worth thinking about

It was also meant as the weirdest gently caress you, the Penn it was named for was his royalist dad, it's like "I'm going to name it after your family so you know I think you, personally, are a dishonor on your dad"
