Philadelphia - The Ugliest City In America
October 23, 2007
Philadelphia has recently been voted the ugliest city in America. Are you kidding me? I absolutley refuse to believe that my own city is the ugliest of them all. I have seen a fair amount of cities in 24 years, twelve of which are on this list. And I could argue to the death, that Philly is certainly not last on that list.
But, apparently the country has spoken and Philadelphians find themselves on the bottom of this rediculous fucking list. I can’t say I disagree with the entire list, but number 25 does not sit well with me.
I guess that is what we get for eating cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, and cream cheese.

Overall, Philadelphians were ranked 22 of 25. How insulting. But not as insulting as being ranked 25 of 25 like the people from LA. I always knew they were no good.
[…] I posted a rant not too long ago about the recent Travel and Leisure ugliest city in America poll. Philadelphia came in as the ugliest city. Which is my hometown city, and needless to say, I wasn’t happy about it. It is just more evidence against the rest of you outside the city limits of Philly, that you are complete idiots. […]
