um, OK? Doesn't mean much to me, I live in Australia. 
Philly's one of the most miserable, violent cities in America. For all the art and culture we have here, we also have huge sections of the city that are covered in dog ->-bleeped-<- and littered with... litter. Nobody cares. Blue-collar, cheesesteak-eating, sweatpants-wearing, racist, jingoist, homophobic, transphobic slobs. Obnoxious, self-important dirtbags who own six vehicles and run the engines, just because they can.
I think this photo sums it up:
Note the giant cheesesteak at the top. There's propaganda all over that place, calling for the death of Mumia Abu-Jamal. (Disclaimer: I know nothing about the facts of that case.) They have a policy that all orders must be made in English. They print stickers with the owner's picture in front of an American flag, and it reads, "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for deportation."
A friend of mine also got spit on there, for leaning up on his boyfriend.
I love South Philly, because you can do whatever you want, and there's nobody to tell you not to. I hate South Philly, because ANYBODY can do whatever they want, and there's nobody to tell them not to.
