Breaking: City Paper Discovers White Flight
Why are we losing people? After all, Center City looks a hell of a lot better than it did when John Travolta was racing down Market Street, almost running over Mummers, trying like hell to find his hooker friend before she fell victim to John Lithgow’s scary-ass watch.
The answer: It’s not about Center City.
It’s the rest of the city. The stuff they didn’t show in Blow Out. The neighborhoods, where most of us actually live.
We’re losing residents to the ‘burbs and other cities because an increasing number of people think life’s better lived elsewhere, for a variety of reasons.
Also in this issue of CP: More developing news on the new clothespin statue at 15th and Market, a profile of some new rap group called The Roots, and word of a new ballpark.
