You know you ARE from West Philly if you remember Al DiPalma's Hoagie

the pharmacy college but never heard of USP (*née *Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy). I work at USP, so I run into this a lot.

I knew it as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. My best

I think you mistook my post and my intention. Her post was obviously
designed to appeal to PhillyMag readers. That doesn't make it true,
however.
There is more than one way of looking at West Philly without it ALL being
bad except for the UCD approved areas. I posted my ideas of what makes West
The whole west philly vs university city thing pisses me off - they are two
very distinct areas (even if UC is in West Philly). And really, if you're going

Philly.
Mr. Davis notwithstanding he may very well not remember all the the things
