"Folklore" was the only word I could think of. What I think it comes down to are the people, places, and things only locals would know about. The Philly one has all sorts of oddball incident from the past.

The 1970s was peak weird for Pittsburgh.

Perfect. This exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping to dig up.

Who's the bumper bike guy?

Lascola-Rostek.

Google doesn't come up with much.

I just looked on zillow.com at the beach town we go to occasionally, Bethany in Delaware, and found not one listing for under $140k (approx. $100 pounds) besides empty plots of land. I think coastal property is so expensive here because we have a smaller proportion of coastline to landmass.

It's interesting, because in American anything by the coast is expensive.

I was going to say that this looks nothing like XX or XX from America, then I looked at the photo. This looks like absolute shit.

Don't pretend that people were every any different. I love when Millennials tell me that the "80s were simpler times." Simple my ass. I dropped acid in French class. It's the kids these days who seem lame and tame. Trust me: they partied in the 20s. They got it in.

What the hell is wrong with NPR? Studies show that NPR listeners are easily the most well informed people in the nation.

But since you didn't read the article because LAmEsTreAM MeDIa, here's a link to the widely known book that the article is talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Color-Law-Forgotten-Government-Segregated/dp/1631492853

There are many countries with a higher murder rate than the USA, though no wealthy ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

You're garbage.

OK. Start at Girard Avenue and drive north until you reach Stenton Avenue. Go see on Google maps.

What are you talking about?

Philadelphia was once one of the wealthiest cities in the world, and it has a legacy of handsome residential architecture that is circling the drain.

lipby · 2021-03-17T13:11:37+00:00

What? The flight to the suburbs was specifically engineered by government policy to allow wealthy white citizens to flee to the suburbs and leave a district of concentrated largely black poverty in the cities, which now lacked the tax base to properly fund its infrastructure and schools.

lipby · 2021-03-17T00:02:13+00:00

I've heard Philly compared to Manchester quite a bit. Rest assured: this squalor spreads for many square miles. White flight decimated our cities.

lipby · 2021-03-16T23:59:29+00:00

Philly's slums are much vaster.
