Philadelphia is also classically used around the Northeastern US to describe a city that is NOT classy. Someone from Philly not knowing that Albuquerque is real and thinking of their family as classy fits right in with the Philly steriotype.
Philadelphians have a high opinion of themselves because they use Pittsburgh as a comparison instead of NY or DC.
I’ve lived in Maryland for most of my life and have no wish to jump into a Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh fight. I have visited both cities and have found them to be equally inviting. I do wonder if Breezewood could be considered the opposite to somewhere like Timbuktu. No matter where you live in the Continental US, you or something you purchase will like spend a brief amount of time in Breezewood. Also, is Centralia a gateway to hell?
Also lived in MD for most of my life and I have no problem jumping into a Philly v Pittsburgh fight. They're both pretty mid but in the tiebreaker at least Philly is putting delicious steaks and cheeses on succulent rolls while the great culinary minds of Pittsburgh are standing around wondering how many more vinegary wads of cole slaw can be fisted into a pastrami sandwich.
theres a nice abandoned highway & highway tunnel in Breezewood I use to DJ raves at. Its also apparently surrounded by rattlesnakes which is something i wish i would of known before going there multiple times on molly lol

Just to be clear, you do know that Timbuktu and Albuquerque are real places.
