omgz yay! im from philly!! everyone hers from jersey and jersey = wannabe new york so im almost newyorkian!
Every time I've been to philly I've forgotten to get a cheese steak

. I really really love steak, and cheese, and sandwiches are my favorite food...EVER...but somehow I let it slip my mind. I think I've only been there twice though, once for a show at the trocadero and another at the electric factory.
Why do New Yorkers hate people from New Jersey? Just a question.
Because in Jersey you can not make a left turn. I am dead serious. You need to make three rights in order to turn left. The road signs to get on the Jersey turnpike are tiny...
but Jersey has starland Ballroom, and that place kicks ass! I haven't gone to a show there in a while, but there's also this really awesome mall there, and a denny's right by the best western in that area. Oh yeah and atlantic city! I've been there once, it was a lot of fun. Just gambled on the nickel slots and kept getting free drinks.
The show Jersey shore really doesn't help that state's image at all. I never watch it...but...I hear things...
@ Krampus,...I'm from Long Island. I can understand why you hate downstate New york. It's really over crowded here, the LIE and northern state both blow, and it is the epitome of those popped up pink collar assholes who make the scrunchy face for pictures on facebook. The majority of women here only care about uggs, expensive handbags, and bebe. It might be like this everywhere, but I can say for sure that I've only come across a handful of people who are genuine, nice and awesome. Not my best friend though, he's a fat asshole.
There's only 2 good things about living here, I'm only a short train ride away from the city, and usually every good band that tours comes to NYC so I've seen pretty much every good band I've cared to see that has toured. I live by the beach too, it's a dank gross beach but its a cool place to have bonfires and drink.
