Philly drops to #6

So much for living in the 5th biggest city in the United States. According to data recently released, Philadelphia is the 6th biggest city--falling behind New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and now Phoenix. This isn't official yet because the US Census hasn't declared it so, but the report says that the official data in June will only confirm this to be true. Actually, Philadelphia used to be number two for a while before the other cities overtook it. Let's hope it holds onto #6 for a while.

Still, one-third of the population in the US is within a three hours of Philadelphia. That's absurd! It makes me wonder how the west would look if we had immigrated to America via the Pacific Ocean instead of Atlantic.

It's nearly against my religion to post to a blog...certainly a new experience at least! Look what you've done to me!

6th? 6th is a perfectly respectable number...and maybe it shouldn't even be about the numbers...kinda like Sunday school in that respect.
