Philly is interesting.
It's a bit like New Orleans in that it's a blue collar town. I think the native Philadelphians are similar to New Orleanians, except that those Philly folks have the yankee attitude. They're good people. They wear their emotions on their sleeve. It's an older town. They love their own and are skeptical of outsiders. They're the first to welcome those that accept them. Sound familiar?
They throw batteries at Santa.
It's how they work and they're cool with it. They really don't care what any of us think, and if I'm honest, that's pretty cool.
