THE HATER'S TRAVEL GUIDE: PHILADELPHIA

Congrats to the Hoosiers! They're onto the Sweet 16 for the first time in three years.

And now their next leg of the tournament takes place in none other than the city of Philadelphia.

As someone whose family originally is from South Jersey, went to undergrad in the Philly area, and is still a fan of all four terrible professional sports teams in the city, I feel not just honored, but obligated to tell you about this place, which totally doesn't have an inferiority complex compared to New York or DC, no not at all.

HISTORY

This city was originally founded along the Delaware River in 1682 by William Penn, whose one stipulation when founding the city was that it not be placed in the same territory as Rutgers.
