Take a hike. No, really. July 21, 2008

Philly has been named as the fifth most walkable city in the United States.

It’s so exciting that they made up the word “walkable” (at least, according to Microsoft Word). Nice, isn’t it? At least it gives us something good to brag about.

At one point, we were fat. And apparently still, we’re ugly, as The Temple News reported. And now, we can walk places.
