Nah....that was accurate.

I've been to Philthydelphia many, many, many times. In most sections, day and night.

It's a cesspool of crime, graft, drugs, gangs and decay.

Philly once was a decent place to visit.

Just visit.

Show me one world class city where your lumbering pedestrian stops and urinates on a building wall, in full view of children.

Third World....yeah, it fits.

Reminds me: I was there a few years ago. The area by Rittenhouse Square. That is supposed to me more upscale. The area was crawling with derelicts. One was staring into a restaurant where a family was eating. He was leaning against the window doing an obscene act: Nothing was done.
