Slogans for Philadelphia....or, don't get me wrong, I actually like it here.
My friend Bill has been in town for the last week, he flew in to Philly to hang on the Fourth of July and to go to see the Feelies at Maxwell's in Hoboken with me. While we were driving around Philadelphia, I mentioned the official tourism slogan the city adopted about a decade ago, 'Philadelphia, the city that loves you back!'. Well we both think it's way off the mark, so we started to banter about what the slogan should be in reality:
'Philadelphia, did you look at me? Tell me you didn't look at me?'
'Philadelphia, if I had a tooth, it would hurt.'
'Philadelphia, a good place to die!'
'Philadelphia, it's so small as to create claustrophobia...don't believe the map!!'
'Philadelphia, it ain't New York...New York is grateful!'
'Philadelphia, abandon all hope ye who enter!'
'Philadelphia, where hanging out at Johnny Brenda's makes you a total celebrity'
'Philadelphia, everyone one here knows one another, they don't like each other and they sure as hell don't like you, so leave!'
'Philadelphia, pfffft, later!'
'Welcome to Philadelphia, if you're a tourist and you want a cheesteak, get an interpreter!'
" Welcome to Philadelphia, don't worry if you missed lasts month's issue, this months issue of Philadelphia Magazine is also a restaurant issue."
'Philadelphia, did you look at me? Tell me you didn't look at me?'
'Philadelphia, if I had a tooth, it would hurt.'
'Philadelphia, a good place to die!'
'Philadelphia, it's so small as to create claustrophobia...don't believe the map!!'
'Philadelphia, it ain't New York...New York is grateful!'
'Philadelphia, abandon all hope ye who enter!'
'Philadelphia, where hanging out at Johnny Brenda's makes you a total celebrity'
'Philadelphia, everyone one here knows one another, they don't like each other and they sure as hell don't like you, so leave!'
'Philadelphia, pfffft, later!'
'Welcome to Philadelphia, if you're a tourist and you want a cheesteak, get an interpreter!'
" Welcome to Philadelphia, don't worry if you missed lasts month's issue, this months issue of Philadelphia Magazine is also a restaurant issue."
