The Ugliest City in America

[arniejolt]

AND THE WINNER IS...

Philadelphia receives a dubious distinction. Travel and Leisure Magazine has named Philadelphians the ugliest people in the country!

The magazine asked 60,000 people to rank 25 major cities and Philly came in dead last. It says Philadelphia not only has the ugliest residents, we also have a big weight problem. Miami came in number one.

Councilman Frank Diccico says the study is ridiculous. He says "How you can compare a city like Miami where everyone walks around in thongs all the time with Philly where we're covered up with hats and gloves five months of the year."

For what it's worth, San Diego and Charleston were named the prettiest people.

It kinda makes sense, it's the City of Brotherly Love until you say you're a fan of another team besides the Eagles or, even worse, say you're a Cowboy's fan.

Then they turn into the City of Brotherly Thugs.

Philly is home to a number of dubious distinctions like that.



I hear they boo at Santa Claus! :D

But I heard it was always sunny there

Sounds about right.

Haha poor Philly. It must be all those Cheesesteaks (mmm Pats and Ginos), or maybe it's something else who knows. I think thats a bit hard to judge, but still, very funny!

The comment about San Diego is pretty spot on. When I moved from there to Portland, I noticed a drop in looks (and a gain of weight)... on average. There's still plenty of hot chicks here.

Hippies vs yuppies?

I was in Philly for two weeks for work (ok, actually in northern Delaware, but that's not the point). I was trying to get to the airport after my first week, and I entirely got lost in a run down part of the town (I hesitate to call it a "ghetto" per say, and it was daylight). Wasn't cool at all. My GPS kept sending me in circles because the road it wanted me to go down was closed due to the mass flooding the NE that was happening at the time (summer last year).

I would have thought Detroit would win this honor though.
