trivia

The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly... culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere... their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial... and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there. Oscar Wilde

is a metropolis sometimes known as the City of Brotherly Love, but more accurately as the City of Bleak November Afternoons.
