The Philadelphia metropolitan area is the fourth largest in the U.S. by the current official definition, with some 5.7 million people.
Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in the United States. During part of the 18th century, the city was the second capital and most populous city of the United States. At that time, it eclipsed Boston and New York City in political and social importance, with Benjamin Franklin playing an extraordinary role in Philadelphia's rise.

Rarely. Only when I'm on a paved road that has lines painted on it for longer than 5 minutes or so. Equates to about once a week. When I do, I notice that there ain't shit to do with km on it. This is 'Merica. We have big tanks. So we don't have to do anything metric. Except socket wrenches, and we bitch about that.

Too cute for words
Sorry, but I've thought since I was a kid that it's a measure of how stupidly, blindly pigheaded we are as a nation that we don't use the metric system. We do virtually everything in day to day arithmetic in base ten except measure shit. Then we have to divide by 12 or 1320 or 8 or 16 or 144... It's just stupid, they're not even related to each other. Anyone know how many feet in a furlong????? Okay, now how many meters in a kilometer? See what I mean?SouthernN'Proud said:
