Philadelphia Haters

Thank you.   I couldn't be prouder.

There's many passionate sports towns.  Chicago.  Boston.   New York.   Just to name a few.

Every town has it's ugly spots; however every town has it's positives as well.

Philly - as much as the negative publicity it gets - rarely gets the positives.   It's a cultural diverse city with tremendous Universities.  Penn, Drexel, LaSalle, Temple, St. Joes and Villanova right on the outskirts.

Lively night life with trendy restaurants and sites.  Philly Art Museum is one of the finest.  You'll never get bored in Philly.   Attractions galore for all ages from the Philly Zoo to Eastern Penitentiary (one of the biggest Halloween attractions in the country open all year round which is fascinating), to the biggest collegiate rowing event in the country, to one of the biggest cycling events in country all in the same vicinity.  Perfect spot not far from the Jersey, DE and MD beaches and also not that far from the mountains if skiing/snow boarding is your thing.  Terrific food and atmosphere/nightlife.

Couldn't be prouder of - in my opinion the most passionate fanbase in America.
 
If you're a Philadelphian these past few days made you proud.

Great job Philly!
