Give it a break with the thuggery crap, unions are good , you just don't like them fighting against anything you are for!
By the way CARPETBAGGER was a term used for Northerners who moved down south after the civil war during reconstruction to make finiancial and political gains at the expense of the beaten southeners. I have no doubt that you are also aware of this.

But don't you see the similarity to yourself. You are a mid- westener who moved east and is now promoting the idea of destroying Philly neighborhoods for your own financial and personal gains at the expense of these true citizens.

Face it big boy, for all intensive purposes you are a CARPETBAGGER! Don't be ashamed, you should wear your title proudly Joe the "Carpetbagger"!

Well I am from Philly not the Midwest.

So someone from the Midwest who moves here with the idea of destroying Philly for his own personal gain is a carpetbagger huh. Wait.

At least when the Philly casinos open up there will be two places I can go where I can drink beer and light up that isn't in either in my apartment or my friends' houses without having to deal with whiny people bitching. [Yes, Philly casinos are going to be smoke-filled... doesn't that just get your goat?

All of my friends now go to suburban bars.

I liked the food.

I like the idea of "something else" to do on the weekend.

I will still go to AC...
