Finally, Some Philadelphia Praise With Actual Evidence

In the past few months, Philadelphia has been named America’s Next Great City and Madrid USA &c., &c.

The praise has always made this Philadelphia native happy, confused, skeptical. Why were we suddenly the hot city? Because magazines were saying it?

But, now, doctors from Sweden have finally found some Philadelphia praise that doesn’t make us skeptical at all:

In cities such as Philadelphia, where 317 people have been shot during the first 2-1/2 months of this year, gunshot wounds are so common that trauma surgeons here are considered global experts, often pioneering techniques to save lives.

Gunshot Wound Capital of the World! Now that’s a title we can really be proud of. Suck it, Detroit!
