Gone but not forgotten: when Philadelphia was still the city of brotherly love.
I grew up in central PA so I knew there were parts of Philly that were ''challenged". And, being in Chicago the last 10 years, I understand that gangs often fight over their territory lines. But I found it hard to wrap my head around the tow truck turf deaths taking over the city. The unfortunate timing of the Discovery Channel's "Wreck Chasers" reality show has me fighting hard to resist the urge to rubber-neck, but good grief -- they are shooting each other in the leg and running each other over (literally) just to score the tow job. [Give me the goofiness of "Scrappers" any day!] I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Philly is now the largest city by population to have a casino, but let's get a recession recovery program in that metropolis soon!
The way things were before Miseo-delphia came to be (miseo the hate to phila's love), you are missed.
