Reply to comment by synthetikxangel in Debate: when can you say “I’m from Philly” by SnooStories6852

So, my cousin, who lived in Northeast Philly for 46 years and just bought a house in the suburbs, is not from Philly, but the person who just moved to Fishtown from NYC during the pandemic is from Philly? If your answer to that question is yes, you’re definitely not from Philly.

Yeah like if you grew up here and the city is pretty much still on you… You’re from here… ya know? Like… Meek Mill is from here no matter where he lives now. Will Smith, though he seems to forget sometimes, is from here. Jilly from Philly is still… Well… From Philly. (Jill Scott). Eve is married to some billionaire, yup, still from Philly tho… Amber Rose… M. Knight Shamalan.. Lil Uzi Vert.. Mario Lanza (Burried in Italy, still from here) All still from here.
