Philadelphia Depression
Mens Health magazine voted Philly the most depressed city in America. Now you know why Starkweather sounds the way we do and why MrBadVibes has such
a horrible attitude. We even beat out Detroit! Nice work.

Holy shit this is amazing.
Is Your Town Down?
Which towns stand in the face of depression
By: Sara Vigneri
Maybe it was all those years of futility for the Phillies. Or the shadows cast by New York City to the north and Washington, D.C., to the south.
Whatever the reasons, Philadelphia has earned the melancholy distinction of being America's most depressed city, followed closely by Detroit and St.
Petersburg, Florida. Men's Health compiled this list based on antidepressant sales, courtesy of NDC Health; suicide rates, from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the number of days inhabitants reported being depressed, based on the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System, accessed through bestplaces.net.
Where can you find happiness? Texas, that's where. Three of its cities placed in the top four: number one, Laredo; number two, El Paso; and number
four, Corpus Christi.
The 20 Happiest Cities
1. Laredo, TX: A+
2. El Paso, TX: A+
3. Jersey City, NJ: A+
4. Corpus Christi, TX: A+
5. Baton Rouge, LA: A
6. Honolulu, HI: A-
7. Fresno, CA: A-
8. San Jose, CA: A-
9. Lincoln, NE: B+
10. Bakersfield, CA: B+
11. Buffalo, NY: B+
12. Anchorage, AK: B+
13. Stockton, CA: B+
14. Shreveport, LA: B+
15. (3-way tie) Madison, WI: B, Montgomery, AL: B, and Des Moines, IA: B
18. Wichita, KS: B
19. (tie) Sacramento, CA: B and Omaha, NE: B
The 20 Most Depressed Cities
1. Philadelphia, PA: F
2. Detroit, MI: F
3. St. Petersburg, FL: F
4. St. Louis, MO: F
5. Tampa, FL: F
6. Indianapolis, IN: F
7. (3-way tie) Mesa, AZ: F, Phoenix, AZ: F, and Scottsdale, AZ: F
10. Cleveland, OH: F
11. New York, NY: D-
12. Salt Lake City, UT: D-
13. Atlanta, GA: D
14. (3-way tie) Yonkers, NY: D, Pittsburgh, PA: D, and Kansas City, MO: D
17. (3-way tie) Long Beach, CA: D, Los Angeles, CA: D, Nashville, TN" D

If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

yeah it's a real bitch bringing up a family on only $4 million a year...my heart goes out to TO...right
I saw mcnabbs mom in the supermarket and asked her " why does Donovan always eat his soup out of the can?" ..she says " cause whenever he gets near a
bowl he chokes"....
yeah philly is swell...not many things to do, very fewplaces to see a show anymore that arent huge, the best heroin in the USA, high cost of living,
low wages of employment, and the city that loves you back. ....have a pretzel on me

This has got to be false. CLEVELAND has to be the most depressed. Mabe the reason it's not is becasue everyone here is moving to Philly.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I can't blame them because the jobs are leaving too.

I need to look at a fucking map, Boycott. I'm such a fucking retard I barely know where Philadelphia is. I have a buddy in Croatia so I'm adding you
to my list of friends that are from places that I can't find on the map.
That Philly story that Mr. Moron linked is so fucking depressing. I like watching a good hockey fight just like any guy, but goddam, 15 years old,
what a horrible way to die. Living in Philly for 13 years did damage to me that I'm still trying to undo.

Hey Boycott, you and my Croatian buddy are neighbors! Any hostility between the 2 countries?

philly news is all bad news..yesterday a 7 year old kid got shot by some ass hole who was shooting at his step dad from across the street. then the
step dad takes off....earlier that day a kid was found hanging in the coat closet in his classroom ...i hate the fuckin news anymore... especially
living so close to the shit, and having an 8 year old son knowing this is the woonderful world he is growing up in....i only listen for the traffic
report, and that is also bad...

another shitty thing aboyt filfadelfia is tha fact there are hardly any good shows...unless in the fuckin electric factory...which blows
i remember, nicks, barbary, revival, dobbs, 40st underground, fake haus, and so on...i eben tried doing them in my buddies parents bar as a kid...we
did get darkside, 25 ta life, hard response, next step up, but half of em either didnt show or got lost...then had the easy with madball, breakdown
and a slew of others, but you know how it goes, anything good in this town eventually turns to mush.....the troc isnt too bad, but it seemed allot
cooler when i was a kid going there like 15 years ago...
