NEXT great city? We're great now!

For anyone who hasn't heard, Philadelphia has been named "The Next Great City" by National Geographic Traveler. (Not the same as the magazine where you can find the newest species or place to bleed your heart all over, boppy.) However, it says:

But Bellows said the city's self-image still needs a little work: "Philly has a little bit of an underdog sense of itself and it doesn't even realize how great it is."

I've had enough of that. Mary and I will be spearheading the "Heck YES Philly's great!" program. Ask Mary's roommates. Or Louis (who is primarily benefiting from the eating portion of the program.) Jane, our associate member who may only participate in the "Heck Yes PHILADELPHIA's great" campaign, has volunteered to start a Philadelphia club at the college of her choice. We can't just stand idly by! What will you do?
