My parents were both born there, but my dad went to Central Bucks for high school and my mom went to Haverford. Why? Because their families moved out of the city. Philadelphia County and Philadelphia City are the same since the Act of Consolidation of 1854. Which just demonstrates the following:

May 10, 20223 yr Author Quote Do Republicans Really Want the Leaker Outed? As we noted yesterday, and as we note again below, Republicans are finding a lot of things to talk about when it comes to the leaked Supreme Court decision, except... the content of the decision itself. We are watching very closely for clues as to what the politicians really think when it comes to their political prospects in the midterms, and it's likely instructive that folks like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are expending lots and lots of oxygen this week talking about how wrong it is that liberals/Democrats/socialists/Antifa/'Murica haters are protesting in front of some of the justices' houses. Based on their rhetoric, and how red their faces are getting, this is an offense apparently many orders of magnitude worse than, say, storming the U.S. Capitol. Last week, of course, the angry rhetoric from the right was aimed at the leaker. However, at least among the GOP pooh-bahs, and their most highly placed friends in the media, that talk has almost completely stopped. Maybe the judge-house protests are more aggravating. Or maybe blasting the leaker isn't getting a rise out of the base. Or, just maybe, folks on the right are beginning to suspect that the leaker is one of their own, and the McConnells and Cruzes of the world don't want to say anything about, say, giving the leaker the electric chair that could come back to haunt them. In our initial items on the matter, we suggested it was certainly possible the leak came from the right, including from Chief Justice John Roberts himself, but that we thought someone on the left was more likely. These days, that opinion is definitely in the minority. NPR's legal correspondent Nina Totenberg, who is pretty dialed in, says that the "leading theory" among insiders is that it was a conservative clerk. Former senator Al Franken, who is also pretty dialed in, is confident it was a conservative, and speculates it might well be Samuel Alito. These folks have good reason for thinking that the leak is coming from the right, as there have been further revelations since the original leak. Most obviously, The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Roberts is definitely in the minority, and that the 5 justices in the majority are holding firm. The Post claims that its reporting is based on not one, not two, but three conservative sources with access to insider information from the Court. Maybe one of those three was the leaker, but even if they weren't, it's clear that the vaunted secrecy of the court is not so vaunted as it might seem, and also that folks on the right apparently have much interest in controlling the narrative and, it would appear, using the media to maintain discipline among the five conservative justices. Last week, Roberts said that he would bring the full weight of his office to bear in seeking to identify the leaker. And maybe he meant it, and maybe the person will be outed. However, Politico's executive editor Dafna Linzer said nobody working for the Court or for federal law enforcement has contacted her, as yet. That seems a pretty obvious first step, no? And one that should take, what, an hour to execute? We'll also point out one other thing. In the 1970s, anyone and everyone wanted to know the identity of Deep Throat. And, unlike the Supreme Court Leaker, he actually broke the law. And yet, despite much effort, nobody figured out who he was until he outed himself 30-plus years later. So, if Roberts eventually throws up his hands and says "couldn't find them!" it could be because it just couldn't be done. Or it could be because Roberts didn't try very hard. We may never know. (Z)

Especially to people who have never been to Philly and only believe what they see or hear on ESPN. But there are some holes in Philly, like every major city. To me, it’s my favorite major city. But because of my sports teams and all the memories I have had there. People are very misunderstood. this is where i am at. having grown up in the city, (ironically @Dave Mossin the olney section), i always defend the city as a whole. yeah i know it has it's issues, but it's my city and i know there are still plenty of great areas. that said, F krasner.
May 10, 20223 yr There are parts of Philly that are awesome - so much history there, obviously. I've had some amazing experiences there over the years. F ESPN and all the other chuckleheads who rip on it

Moss was talking about a mass exodus from the city by mostly middle class folk in the 20th century. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "white flight," because the demographics underlying it led to a shift in the racial makeup in urban populations, with the suburbs becoming predominantly white and urban centers going the other way. It wasn't intended as part of the main topic of the thread. It was just a sidebar. We were just talking a little history. Quote White flight or white exodus[1][2][3] is the sudden or gradual large-scale migration of white people from areas becoming more racially or ethnoculturally diverse.[4][5] Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, the terms became popular in the United States. They referred to the large-scale migration of people of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban or exurban regions. The term has more recently been applied to other migrations by whites, from older, inner suburbs to rural areas, as well as from the U.S. Northeast and Midwest to the milder climate in the Southeast and Southwest.[6][7][8] The term 'white flight' has also been used for large-scale post-colonial emigration of whites from Africa, or parts of that continent,[9][10][11][12][13] driven by levels of violent crime and anti-colonial state policies.[14] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flight

May 10, 20223 yr Most cities have ishhole areas. I live in Spokane Washington, and there is parts of our downtown that are absolute cesspools. We have had in increase in homicides this year. We are moving to Arizona at some point in the future, but I am not moving because of crime, there is crime everywhere.

FWIW, I'll stay consistent. Voilent actions from BLM, Antifa, the insurrectionists of Jan 6th- dont care whom, all are bad. The politicians/media who are silent are complicit, those politicians who condone, or worse yet CALL for violence should be removed from office. I'm looking at you Maxine Watters, Lori Lightfoot etc. Many in here only condemn those who they oppose, and are silent or make excuses for those they support.
