CP Choice Goes to Hell
7 deadly sins, 7 heavenly virtues and all destinations in between.
Published: Nov 1, 2006
We took the good. We took the bad.
And when we took them both, we realized we had the facts of Philadelphia life. Because let's face it: All of us have a little sinner and a little saint swimming around in our DNA. So, what better way to mark City Paper's annual roundup of things we love and hate* than examining them through the prism of the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues. Sounds a little dark, sure, but then again, ye who enter needn't abandon all hope; at the end of the day, we love this town, in all its decadent and decaying glory.
