No doubt, Memphis is a great, classic American city, but I've lived in Philly and in or near 4 other large American cities, and every one of them has a lot to recommend it. We Americans are very fortunate in that respect. Most of our big cities have a lot to recommend them, if you stick around long enough to find the best spots.
I would gladly spend the rest of my life living in Philadelphia. There are gorgeous Revolutionary War-era neighborhoods with lovely stone houses with fireplaces on quiet, tree-lined streets, with parks and forests with creeks running through them (for miles). I lived in one of those, and it was dreamy. Philly is old enough to have sections as charming as you'll find in Vienna, Paris or Rome.
I don't have a problem with Philly. It's a good city. All cities have their virtues. I'm from Chicago and they have some shithole neighborhoods. Then there's the nice parts. It is what it is.
I was just busting his balls.
Take a walk through the riverwalk in my hometown.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing that. That is undeniably a great, major city. Also, that water is incredibly blue - very much like what water in Lake Huron. Almost overpoweringly blue - - in a good way!
After watching that video, it seems like one of the ice things we could do on the AAC message board would be to encourage people from each AAC city to post videos highlighting some of the off-the-beaten-path kinds of places that fans might enjoy visiting when they come to town to see a ball game.
For example, I'm sure a lot of AAC "remainer" fans would appreciate any videos that fans of Charlotte, UAB, San Antonio, etc. might post, and vice versa, leading up to 2023-24.
One of the positives of the AAC is that we are city schools. Love exploring cities.
