11 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Visit Philadelphia

Philadelphia -- the city of Brotherly Love. It's such a beautiful city to be in the middle of and to be caught up in. So much culture, so much food, so much life, so much history -- so why would you want to visit it?! Well this is where I come in. I've decided to spend four days and three nights in this city and soak up all the culture so you don't have to.


11. So you want to visit Philadelphia? Well why would you want to?

I mean, there's nothing that the city offers, such as a beautiful skyline lit up at night. Why would you want to see that?

10. Are you expecting to find something beautiful?

They have trees with leaves that fall, and cherry blossoms that bloom in the spring, and paths along the bridges and parks that you can walk/run/jog. Basically, I can find those things anywhere.

9. Philadelphia has the worst fans in any sport.

And they're super rude to other fans. I mean, it's not like their baseball team has won anything worth bragging about.

8. There are way too many smells that include food.

I mean, sure I wont lie, the Philly Cheesesteak is basically an institution in itself; but I can make those in my kitchen. Unless they're made with 24 karat gold, but until then..next!

7. You can't walk anywhere!

All the buildings are too close together and way too colorful. I also would like to let you know that there is also too much shopping and too many stores on one block. Spread 'em out boys!

6. Too many concert venues in such a small place.

There are way too many concert venues in this city and no one good ever comes to play, unless you're into something like, jazz.

5. Small shops, not enough chain stores.

Philly is known for having a lot of mom-and-pop stores and you wont find many chain stores unless you're shopping on Walnut or Chestnut streets. Shop small, I suppose.

4. This city is filled with a lot of boring history.

There is plenty of history behind this city. Word on the street is that this city was pretty important in the formation of the United States. Well, I guess Beyonce had nothing to do with this formation or signing any contracts.

3. This city is pretty void of education under the age of 40 years-old.

College? Good luck finding anything in this city if you're under the age of, let's say 40. Pretty hard getting into anything.

2. Nothing interesting ever happens in this city.


I mean, it's not like streets are constantly blocked off for movie productions constantly. It's not like a major Disney movie by the name of "National Treasure" was filmed in this city and let us not forget about that little doozy of a television show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", because that's a lie. It's not always sunny.

1. The prison system here is pretty run down and outdated.


I don't think there's much to say about this subject aside from the photo above. Pretty run down and scary looking, don't you think? I hear the prisoners are pretty quiet though, but they're scary looking also.


But aside from all the apparent sarcasm, please by all means, don't visit one of the most (and my personal favorite) cities in the country, that's rich in history, education but has one of the most diverse cultural experiences. Please, by all means, stay home. More of this wonderful place for me, but if you must visit, then I suggest by all means, you take advantage of this beautiful city and all it has to offer; including the food. Come hungry, leave feeling the love.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
