US Election Week 2020

Philadelphia: protecting American democracy since 1775.

To "Hail Columbia"

End! End the Trumpist reign
May Philadelphia's name
Ring through the world with loud applause
Ring through the world with loud applause
Sure they threw things at Santa Claus
and cheered at Michael Irvin's fall
Like when they broke the glass at that Flyer's game
They have earned ever lasting fame

Did I mention that I love Philadelphia? I've never been there before, but watching the numbers creep up there ...

If you ever go, don't go to Geno's or Pat's.  You want to go to Steve's Prince of Steaks instead.  Same or higher quality, much shorter lines/no lines at all.

I have a soft spot for Philadelphia despite never having been there: Rocky, cheesesteaks, it's Always Sunny, Gritty, rioting sportsfans and I've met loads of Americans travelling and the few I've met from Philadelphia have been great fun and have an amazing accent.

Wanted to visit for a while - mainly to try the cheesesteaks in their natural territory.

Amazing accent?

I have a colleague in Malta who went to high school and college in Philly. He is about 5 feet tall and has a coarse raspy voice and speaks with an awesome Philly mobster accent.

[Valmy]

Why did he move to Malta? Tired of those snowy Philly winters I guess.

[Caliga]

@Syt I wonder if you would think my accent is 'mobster'.

The funny thing is, growing up in Philly a few times people asked me if I was someplace else.  A chick I went to high school with once asked me if I was originally from Texas.

Come to the proposed languish meet up - you can show us all the best places! 😀

I'd expect you to have a redneck accent. "Y'all" and stuff

Ah ok. I thought he was a native Philadelphian.

He was pretty yankee when I met him.

But he may be overcompensating now that he moved southwards.

Actually, I met up with a high school friend of mine in San Francisco a few years back, and within 30 seconds of us chatting he said "Wow, I can tell you live in the South now."

It's OK Cal, he's cool.

Malthus wants us all to go to Philly at some point when this pandemic is over. Or when Dorsey just convinces us all to ignore it.
