Honestly, I don't think that people from other places have a negative impression about Philadelphia like so many people who are from here do...wake up, PHILADELPHIA--it's all in your head!

For every person with your view is 10 kids from Cali or Florida who only think Philadelphia is:
-Nutty sports fans
-Abandoned buidlings
-Ghetto of all colors
-"Nottin but ol' stuff"
-No pretty people
-No beaches!
-Accents
-Quakers
-Amish
-And yes, Cheesesteaks!!!
I'm not saying that this is correct or all kids from the "hip south and west" say this, but it forms a big majority, from what I have seen.
But let me be the first to tell you that I am 100000000% glad you came and I garnetee will WILL NOT be disappointed. Philadelphia is an excellent city. Too bad the smog of LA and Orlando has fogged too many people's brains to figure that out...
