Did you ever take a person less seriously because of their accent?

    Fine here. Here's something from the Tourism Bureau:

    • That video makes Philly seem like at least an interesting place to visit for specific events. Fights and people yelling at one another does not.

        Yeah for tourists. It's the locals with the fights.

          So if you were trying to sell someone on visiting or moving to Philly, would you say that loud, violent males is an endearing part of Philly culture and the experience?

          Imagine for a moment that people aren't like you and that's an okay thing...to be different.

            This is undeniably true.

            • I visited Philadelphia with some of my friends from Michigan. It was pretty fun. There weren't many awesome things. I just remember the Philly Cheese Steaks "wit wiz". And meeting Jason Britton. And seeing Ben Franklin stuff everywhere. The other girl that went is pretty obsessed with Dr. Franklin.

                it's Whiz Wit... as in Whiz wit(h) onions

                I don't go to Geno's though... I actually generally avoid South Philly to be honest.

                MRT ****s with me for not leaving Philly... to be completely honest, I rarely go past North Philly and Center City. I haven't been in West Philly in over a year... haven't been in the Northeast for a long time, either. Can't even remember the last time I was up in Northwest... Southwest is a place to avoid as well. I hear scary **** about Southwest.

                      Center Philly and South Philly are the only places worth going to. Good restaraunts in center Philly. South Philly for the sports complexes.

                        Says Original but it's from Rocky II, I'm pretty sure.

                          Gotta agree with that. Lots of historical stuff to see too. Driving on cobbled roads with a sport suspension is a kidney killer though.

                              • I seem to fall into a Scots accent when I drink to excess despite having no scots blood. That combined with a love for the skirling of the pipes, especially the more martial tunes, makes me think I was a highlander in a past life.
