very funny, p. however, now that i have seen your photo, i know i can kick your ass! (jane snickers)
don't even pretend for a minute that your "city" can compete with phila, but all that crap is what we moved away FROM!!! my "backwoods" town is the county seat, and, believe it or not, we have the best of all worlds. we have 2 castles, art museum, 2 human culture museums, 3 sushi restaurants, 10 5-star restaurants. james michner & oscar hammerstein lived here when they wrote all their great stuff. pearl s. buck too. george washington slept here.
we have 2 cineplexes (14 & 22). parts of "beloved" and "a soldier's story" were filmed here. best of all, mel gibson is filming m. night shamalyan's new film UP THE ROAD FROM ME. LITTERALLY. that's right, mel gibson is staying in MY TOWN for a few months.
...and my neighbor drives a rolls.
smartypants! hee hee hee.
