@acw it's weird that the only thing I really miss from Philly is the pretzels. I mean occasionally I want a cheesesteak or something but I really miss the pretzels... and wawa.
@Stumpy @acw as a philly expat yes, that is weird. very weird.
that said, there was a time here in CA when i forgot how delicious a real cheesesteak was. i lost the faith, and life was a little drabber for it. then i took a trip to PA and found a great hole in the wall and daaaaaaamn. memory restored.
hoagies too. and bagels in NYC. you can't get that stuff out here.
