      Bill Burr's had a great "joke" about how legendary boxer Joe Frazier was from Philly, but he's black so they had to come up with a fictional white boxer (Rocky) who they could idolize instead.

      New Jersey is a suburb, a sigma-bond electron cloud sort of deal between NYC and Philly.

    Philly probably has the most functional public transportation grid in the whole USA. It's absurd how good it is compared to most places and they even still have their trolley lines. I think it had to do with some kind of really strict zoning regulations from like the 1700s that never got adequately challenged or overthrown? I don't know, but gotta have respect for still keeping those trolley lines after most cities ripped them out and replaced everything with car-centric streets without sidewalks.

      It's possible I'm more sick and tired of "I'm from New York and (self aggrandizing rambling here)" comedic acts than the city itself.

      Then again I had a very bad time in Newark but even then I'm willing to believe Newark is just the smaller more belligerent New York.

        Mostly it's just a really walkable city in a nation without them and a very extensive subway system.

          yeah I have a pretty easy time getting around whenever I'm in NYC, I'm just joshing. It's the only city in America I know of where getting around on foot or bike isn't a problem at all, maybe Chicago or San Francisco for close seconds. And despite Brooklyn's reputation for being rowdy or scary, it's actually pretty chill. I'd probably lose my mind living there permanently though.

        can someone please explain to me whats so special about bodegas? :stalin-stressed: How are they any different than a regular convenience/corner store?? Is this just a meme that I'm overblowing?

          People who move to New York and get media jobs area only familiar with franchised convenience stores I guess.

          1. Most of them are independently owned, so it appeals to the liberal love of small businesses

          2. They are everywhere. You can easily walk to a bodega any time of day and get food

    Everyone knows Hexbear's favorite city is Akron, Ohio. You can visit a house where John Brown lived.

      Based people I’m pretty sure but the reason they were radicalized is that neoliberals turned their cities into absolute ruins that everyone is desperately trying to climb away from
