A Trio of Fine Authors Looks at Philly

Former Inquirer columnist Steve Lopez:
“It’s a city of bottom feeders. With no bottom.”
 
Author Bill Bryson:
“Philadelphia, the city that gave us Sylvester Stallone and Legionnaire’s disease.”

Pete Dexter, former Daily News columnist:
“It took me a long time to get used to Philadelphia. The weather, the traffic, the ground rules. I’d never seen a place where people were as rude to each other, for no reason. Of course, I hadn’t been to New York.”
