31 Reasons Philly is Awesome

This is most definitely true up in Bucks County. Tailgating you on 2 lane, double yellow line roads, being far too important not to continue yakking on their cellphones in dicey traffic conditions, etc.

I grew up there. Try driving faster. We like to drive a certain way in Bucks and it's not slow or the speed limit or even 5 mph above the speed limit.

LOL@Wawa...

We have Wawa in NJ also. The quality has gone down tremendously over the years. The don't cut their lunch meat. The coffee isn't that good anymore. A lot of their stuff is pre- made. In fact, I've heard from a number of people that they are going to do away with making sandwiches. Their full menu will be pre-made so they can reduce costs. Everything will be made at the warehouse. Sounds really appetizing.

Was writing as you posted that. Shrug, I've just noticed over the last decade how much slower people drive in bucks which is annoying. Although at least the bypass has been moved up to 55pmh.

born and raised here and still live here. It's really gotten nice within the last 8 or so years. Many good places to go out and eat and always something to do.

No matter what anyone says it's still fucking dangerous, trashy, and gritty, which is why i live in bucks county and just drive to the city whenever i want to do something fun 🙂

I heard that it was always sunny in Philadelphia.

Also, The Philadelphia experiment did not involve Philadelphia or cream cheese.

The only thing I hate about Philly are the drivers driving in NY. All of the previous shitty drivers from NJ moved out to PA and are shitty as drivers and parkers in NYC.

Ever seen a person from NJ try to parallel park? It ain't pretty. I see them in a compact struggling in a spot I could parallel park my full size bed Toyota Tundra in.

My girlfriend was born and raised in North Jersey and she's the best parallel parker I know. I was born and raised in PA and I'm not great at it.

I will agree to the idea that Philly doesn't get much respect. Philly is the 5th largest metro area in the US so it always seems to get bypassed when we talk about the bigger ones like New York, Chicago and LA. And, surprisingly to me, Miami which is fourth.

Yes I have. When im on the road and I see a NJ or PA driver near me I steer clear. Vermont is becoming my newest steer clear from.

Philly is one of my favorite "eatin'" cities.

I basically only go to Chicago, NYC, Philly, and New Orleans if I want to stuff my face silly for a week 🙂

And don't forget all the crack.

The wife and I had to visit a few years ago to care of some passport type business or something. (I can't remember the details but my wife is Italian/French and the Italian embassy in Philly is the one our area of the US is assigned to.)

I saw some nicer looking parts while driving through. The area around the embassy was fairly nice. But otherwise, the parts we were in were pretty ugly, old, worn down and dirty.

We went to Gino's and Pat's. I like cheesesteak sandwiches but I don't see how they're all that renowned.
