Word on the streets is that Philly has been breeding ground for the nation’s ugliest and rudest people. According to Travel & Leisure magazine we have been listed as the least attractive, stylish, friendly, active, and worldly humans in the US of A… I’m going to have to write a letter.

Dear T & L,

Up yours! How’s that for kind? How dare you! I mean, have you walked around Philadelphia, there are some hot chicks, and hot hot men. What did you do? Confuse us with the people of…ohh i don’t know…Florida? As for culture….Are you serious? Have you walked around all of Philly? We’re no New York, but we totally have our own melting pot….With a lil more than 1.5 million people how can you even utter the idea that we are not cultured? ….. Stylish? Ok, so maybe we’re not as fancy as we should be, but we hold our ground. We stand out, we’re unique, and quite frankly don’t care what you think about our jazzy fashionistas. Active? hmmm ok, I get that, but you can’t be home to the cheesesteak and not have one everyday. pshh

As far as rude…. With people like you callin’ us ugly, and out of state drivers, and corrupted politicians not takin’ care of our schools, playgrounds, and social areas, and clubs that close at 2am…. how can you not expect us to be a lil’ hot and bothered?

Take a good walk around Philly. We are beautiful.

Yours Truly,
Hot Stuff
