If you think anything south of Market St. is South Philly, what do you consider Center City?

that's a pretty ethnocentric view. i'll give you QV & BV but old city & society hill are not a part of south philly. not even remotely. sorry.

and i was born and raised in philadelphia and i've never in my life heard that market street is the dividing line. south street is the dividing line.

maybe you guys could be a little less obnoxious about boundaries and your neighborhood. why is it such a big f'ing deal to you?

You may live the Bella Vista/Queen Village/SWoCC section of South Philly; but south of South Street is South Philly. You would think that would be obvious.

In this thread, though, you've reacted with far more hostility over the someone's mistaken suggestion that Old City/Society Hill was part of S.Philly. As if to say, "God FORBID!" lol

I think lots of you guys are not feeling special enough
