SEPTA, Reading Terminal Market, cheesesteaks, big fat hot pretzels with mustard, Tastykakes, scrapple with syrup, the big heart at the Franklin Institute, the Mutter Museum, the Mummers, and,of course, my Flyers....I moved to Canada from Philadelphia with my family years ago, but my heart will always belong to Philly!!! xx :)
I was 8 in 1976. My parents had a fucking wild block party in Coral Springs Fla. Our address was 10651 N.W 41st Street Coral Springs Fla. I will never forget it. All the pools were open to everyone. My father and us kids went up to South Carolina and bought $400.00 (1976 prices) worth of fireworks 3 days before. I guess today we would be thrown in jail. Thanks Sad Sams!!
Philly's OK. I mean, it's no Boston or New York, but it's ok. Still, this is a good song. Do people in Philly like freedom, particularly in Philly? :)
@LeCutter"...It's no Boston..." Are you serious? Would we want it to be? This song, along with TSOP, are two of the greatest songs about an American city period. I cannot think of one song about Boston.
@mhaze210 Elton was born in Pinner, Middlesex, England in 1947. He didn't even come to the States until he was in his late 20's. As much as I love Elton, and I'm from Philadelphia, he is not.
