Question for eagles fans who don’t necessarily have Philly ties

[Geowhizzer]

I'm not from Philly, IGY, but I am from the "area," depending on how strictly you want to define it.  Born in Ephrata and raised in Chester County.

I am a Phillies, Eagles, Flyers fan.  As much as I like basketball (much less since Dr. J retired), I root for the Sixers as well.

My boy, unfortunately, was not born in the area, but in the retirement center known as Naples, Florida.  I'm fighting the New England pollution that his mother's heritage will try to seep in, though it's tough.  And if he ends up rooting for the Cowboys, taterskins or Giants, I'll have to kill him.

Good to hear that you still love him, though.

Dad drove FS61 and I over 60 miles each way to watch teams coached by Joe Kuharich, Jerry Williams, and Ed Khayat. If enduring that doesn't make us true Eagles fans, I don't know what does! 

Medal of Honor for you having to endure those years!

To PhillyFan and IceGrillinYou:

FARG YOU!!

......and no, I wasn't born in Philly. I'm just as much a fan as any fan who roots for the Eagles. Take your catagories and stick 'em straight up your stinkin' ass sideways. Farg you, both of you.

I love Philly fans. We can't even get along with each other.

What really gets me is that I've been accused of not being as much of a fan as someone who made a bet that the stinking taterskins would beat the Eagles at least once this year.

Stinkin' ass taterskin lover.

STFU.

Wow, I've been approved of twice on this board this week. I can hardly contain my joy.

Use a tissue or something.

Being in Rochester NY, I get it all the time.  All I need to do is sport my coat with the kelly green sleeves and tell them Reggie White will always be an Eagle.

What part do you live in?

I've always loved the city of Philedelphia. It has more history of this country than any city in the United States. The city's architecture is simply awsome, and I fell in love with it's historic buildings from the first time I visited there in the early 70's on a school trip. I come from a long line of builders starting with my great great grandfather and can really appreciate the city's great historic buildings. I've been to Philly plenty of times for things other than to watch a football game. Philadelphia is a heck of a lot more than the Eagles, Sixers and Flyers.

It's were master builder Robert Smith constructed some of the countries earliest and most beautiful architecture. Matter of fact, it's the city were the title architect was first used. It's home of so many historic buildings that it would take a whole page to list them all. One of my favorites is the beautiful Independence Hall, were the Declaration of Indepence and the Constitution of the United States were written. The Christ Church Steeple, designed by Smith, has been a big part of Philly's skyline for over 200 years. link The building itself is simply beautiful, I could stand and look at it for hours. It's an architectual marvel. Ben Franklin and George Washington went to church there. How much more American can you get than that?

My absolute favorite building though, in Philly , or anywere else, is the City Hall building


They just don't do building like they did in Philly in it's beginning anymore. I might not be a native, but I love the place, and I'm just as much an Eagle fan as anyone, so please, don't tell me I'm less of a fan because I don't hail from the city itself.
