- Ummm, no. Philadelphia's population is growing. Don't you read the news? People are moving into the city. The 2010 census showed growth over 2000 and it's grown 0.7% in the two years since then, too.
You know, before you make comments that are patently false, you should remind yourself that this kind of data is easily researched on the Internet. That's a concept that has eluded the liars on Faux News too.— Tatt2 - this is another example of why people are moving away from the city.just don't dump the nuts,drug users,and dealers and the like on us,honest people.hope the woman involved,can shed some light on why she was ko'd...pitiful ,put more foot patrols out there!— t_darb_56
- Fox News just reported that the victim is a 28 year old grad student. Must be another rich kid from the suburbs who thinks its cool to get down with the people in an urban environment.— UncleJoe
