Lived in Philly for just over a year. Beautiful city as far as scenery, history and stuff to do if you are an outdoorsy type person. But even after a year of residence I was absolutely amazed at the things people would openly say or do. Can't tell you how many times I had to look someone in the eye and say "you know you just said that out loud, right?". Point being, in my experience, COL peeps got nothing on the stupidity and mouthiness(is that a word?) on Philly peeps. Sorry for the thread jack! Glad you handled it well, better than I likely would have, and came out safe!
