Philadelphia is the new NYC?

The New York Sun points out that Phili has launched a new advertising campaign aimed at pissed-off New York artists who can’t afford our rents but who might be tempted by the promise of slums and ghettos for all. Thanks a lot, hipsters. [From the Sun], “The ads take the form of posters and inserts in an alternative weekly newspaper that direct people to [uwishunu.com](http://uwishunu.com/), a Web log run by the city 's tourism agency that focuses on nightlife and Philadelphia's artistic scene.” How sneaky! The $5 million, two-year campaign also targets Boston and Washington, but there aren't enough starving artists in both those cities combined to revive Philadelphia's economy.
