Dear Travel + Leisure:
If you're going to talk smack, get your story straight. Least attractive city? (Insert buzzer sound.) Have you seen the people who live on Staten Island?
You said we were least stylish. Wrong , wrong, and wrong.
You said we were the least active. Does any other city have this?
You called us least friendly. Bullshit.
If we've got to live with the ugly label, at least recognize that we are Sexy Ugly, as defined in Urban Dictionary thusly: "Someone who is not conventionally good-looking, but possesses an appealing personality, style, or talent, and is thus considered sexually attractive by many."
Our restaurants rule. Our music scene kills. And just because sometimes we slip and say "wooder" and we may have a little bit of junk in our trunks, well, that just adds to the appeal.
Sincerely,
Us

There was a giggling spokesgal from T&L on the radio this morning. Seems the survey was limited to 25 cities, ranked on various things.
So, looked at another way, there are only 24 better-looking cities than Philly in the whole damn country.
It's also obvious the people filling out the T&L survey weren't at your birthday party.
I was above outraged at this silly poll/ranking in Travel & Leisure. I only lived in Philadelphia for one year, but I fell in love with it and cannot wait to return. I live in Washington, DC (for now) and it is by far less attractive, less stylish, less fit/active, and the restaurant/bar/music scene SUCKS.
Philadelphia is sexy ugly and I love it.
Anyone who has ever watched an episode of MTV's 'True Life' knows that Philly isn't the least attractive city.
Let's be honest, here.
Sounds like the people at T&L need to be tazed.
WORD. Load up the tazers: road trip to T+L offices (we could then record the trip and submit it for publication while we're there...)
Best. Idea. Ever.
in the words of cliff poncier:
"this negative energy only makes me stronger. we will not retreat - this band is unstoppable."
(and this weekend, we ROCK PORTLAND.)
I still love that movie. :)
