I say I am from Philly even though I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I came to Philly for college at 16, then grad school and never left. I've lived the great majority of my life in Philly and formative years, my kids are born and raised here, I know almost every square mile of the City, in and out, paid wage and property taxes for the entirety of my adult life, and defended this City tooth and nail from all of the suburbanites calling us "Filthadelphia". I'm from Philly.

Shout out to all the 90's baddies who remember Strawbridge's Christmas exhibit!

Nope!

Tell us you aren't from the area without telling us you aren't from the area. With this and the Delaware Valley comment, you are batting a thousand.

Oh I’m from the area. I was born under the EL. Now I live four blocks from the EL. I’m just not a “90’s baddie” whatever that is.

Right in your link it says the Wanamaker’s Christmas show has always been more popular.

How long have you been a fellow Delaware Vallien?”
