I travel for my job, and visit rural PA and it’s surrounding states, and whenever I tell anyone I live in Philly I hear the response “I’m sorry” or “That shit city”. I’m not confrontational, but I’ve come to love living in this city, flaws and all, and I’m slowly getting irked by the ignorance and bluntness. What’s a good response to those comments that’s subtle and will let me live the high-horse life, but carry on with my life?
Edit: Philly living for five years and I’ve travelled during the pandemic, so best believe I’ve heard it all and some.
