Do you mean Wanamaker’s?

I’ve just never heard anybody but schmaltzy newscasters call it that. Valleys usually imply nearby mountains.

I root for Notre Dame, that doesn’t make me from South Bend, Indiana

I took a bus to New York. That doesn’t make me a New Yorker. I took a plane to Cancun. That doesn’t make me Mexican.

Dr Oz grew up in Wilmington, which has a Septa station too. He lived in the dorms at Penn in his teens and early 20s. Would you say he is “from Philly?”

What is this “Delaware Valley” you speak of?

Learn to use the word “near.” As in in “I live NEAR Philadelphia” or “I grew up NEAR Philly.”

Now do the Lakers and UCLA Bruins

>We throw batteries at German culture

while drinking Kolsch beer from PBC

Climbing greased poles is Italian culture, Santa is German culture. I'm still missing your point.

If you've ever eaten corn or turkey, drank a pumpkin spice latte, or smoked tobacco, you can thank a Lenape

Los Angeles was part of Mexico, how can it not be part of the culture?

> Mexican neighborhood

That's most of Los Angeles.

>no culture

Los Angeles was founded by Spanish explorers in 1542.

It produces almost all the movies, music and TV shows you consume. It has a population of 4 million, where 1 in 6 people work in a creative field.

It has a downtown, beaches and a subway. The Getty Museum. The largest port and manufacturing center in America. The sports teams have won an embarrassing amount of championships at every level: more NCAA champions, more Super Bowls, more Stanley Cups, more World Series, more NBA championships and MLS cups than Philly.

But sure, no culture.

Not just the city:

How do you respond when the smoker looks at you and says “You got a problem?”

>someone smoking is not a threat

That depends on what they are smoking

They should tax saws and axes,

Good thing we don't live in the UN.

What is your definition of "old growth? like 150 years old?

That condo stuff is sometimes BS. The condo companies sometimes "give" a local celebrity a fully furnished condo for a year, so they can market the other $1 million condos to people who might want to live next door to Chase Utley or whoever.

The actual celebs have their "real" houses in the burbs,

"On Wednesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner dropped his opposition to the appeal, opening a potential — though far from assured — avenue to freedom for Abu-Jamal, an outcome that had previously seemed impossible."

“District Attorney Larry Krasner did the right thing when he withdrew his office’s appeal in Mumia Abu-Jamal’s case,” the Amistad Law Project, a Pennsylvania-based prisoner advocacy and prison abolitionist organization, wrote in a statement. “This shows commitment to individualized justice.”

According to new "witnesses" there was another guy in Mumia's brother's car who was the real shooter, but the brother never said this or named this phantom.

"At the post-conviction review hearings, new witnesses were called. William "Dales" Singletary testified that he saw the shooting and that the gunman was the passenger in Cook's car."

"Singletary's account contained discrepancies which rendered it "not credible" in the opinion of the court."

"The six judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled unanimously that all issues raised by Abu-Jamal, including the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, were without merit."

This scam went back to at least the '80s. "Acoustic Monitor speakers with polyurethane woofers and tweeters" supposedly bound for Pulsations Nightclub or somewhere else. They had paperwork showing the value to be at $10,000 but would give them up for a quick $300 in cash

In reality they were worth less than $25.

New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, St Louis, Atlanta, Portland, Seattle, New Orleans, Boston all have similar District Attorneys and all have similar murder numbers.

Chester, PA and Camden, NJ murder numbers are down. They also have reasonable DAs.
