A friend of mine emailed me this inflamitory article about Phoenix posted on a Philadelphia website. It was written due to the fact that we make take their place as the fifth largest city in the nation.

Any thoughts?

Re: Phoenix Haters
Probably both. It was rather outdated, and if I remember correctly, they ended up filing for bankruptcy.joe bartels wrote:Sounds like either total lack of interest(outdated) or poor management.writelots wrote:I was just a kid, but I remember there being talk of financial troubles and corruption. Who knows - but I think that the park went belly-up and was empty a long time before they tore it all down and built on the site (because I remember driving by the sign more than a few times when we were going out to the zoo).
Another tidbit of info...just next to Legend City was the site of the original Compton Terrace, started by Stevie Nicks' father (it moved a couple of years after Legend City closed)...I remember seeing a Fleetwood Mac concert and a Grateful Dead concert there once.

Re: Phoenix Haters
Nobody has to worry about that. I'm not even tough enough to eat a real cheese steak. I like mine with no onions or peppers, just steak and provolone. I don't mind cheddar or jack, but I can't believe the Philly folks like Cheez Whiz.joe bartels wrote:I'm gonna stuff a real philly sandwich down your throat Kokopelli

I humbly disagree, they're good.. but not quite up to snuff.. Tim and Joes were better IMO.
