I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with Philly.
Latley, the two polar emotions are duking it out around the raw wound that once was my heart. The crime, blight, lack of fashion sense and ghetto attitudes are putting a real hornets nest in my bonnet! As if just FILTH alone isn't enough!
I used to think it was just my up and coming mid-life crisis but everything here is stale,stagnet and has the ambiance of a graveyard.
Nobody ever challenges the status quo(This ain't NYC! Art, Fashion, and Culture as well as artists themselves truly suffer in Philly! We can afford to be here to do just that!)
My next question...why does almost everyone I know who leaves here to live in another city come crawling back? Perhaps they realize it costs too much to live in a less hateful place...or they just love the familar...it isn't hard to be top dog in this kennel of rabid pitbulls!
