This is also an x-post by the way. If you're a native New Yorker fine, but don't make fun of Philadelphia if you're a New Yorker who moved from a crappier city or town than mine.

Haha, but Sara, those are SOUTH Jersey-folk. Even people from New Jersey make fun of them.

But where the fuck did that strange breed of tight-shirted, slicked-haired thuggish pod-person that clogs old city in Philly every weekend come from?

north jersey = guidos, ghettos, gangsters AND gangstas, smelly petrochem factories, ASSHOLE NYCers
south jersey = hicks (a/k/a "pinies"), ghettos (camden and trenton)

otm. while we're on the subject, cape may might as well be delaware. it's so NOT what people from other states would think of as "jersey."

haha my guess is that they weren't even THERE when the bistro was a crackhouse.
if i prefer the "crackhouse" era at all, it's just because rents were lower and small businesses (not just trust-funded bistros) could actually thrive. places like see/hear could actually afford to stay open.

and it hurts me in my heart cuz there are small cities where lots of independent businesses thrive and are in little danger of being crushed by 800-ton corporate gorillaz. i lived in one. it was great.

"I'm so fucking radical because I spraypainted a graphic of Bush with vampire teeth on a wall where everyone who sees it will already agree with me,"
and
"You know, I used to hate people who joined the army, but then I heard on NPR that some of them actually do it for the money for education. Maybe I can get one of those regular youngsters to come give a talk at my activist group."

I think I'm suffering from Second City Syndrome, which is a complicated thing, since part of it involves hating Second City Syndrome. I cringe now when the local news comes on, and they're like, "Such and such person did such and such thing, and if you stay tuned, we'll tell you about the very tenuous links to Chicago." WHO TH' FUCK CARES? Do they do this on the New York City local news? I don't know, personally, but I imagine not. New York doesn't have to try that hard. It's already New York.

kenan, meet the philadelphia media (probably THE worst offender of the "find ANY local connection with a big national/international story" syndrome that i've EVER seen).
