Although I found the attempt at humor mildly amusing, being a Camden Resident who passes by that digital billboard everyday, believing that Camden is home of most of the most wanteds/murderers is kinda stretching the truth. Killadelphia is eating Camden, NJ's murder capital of the country title for breakfast this year. So ummmm, point the mirror the other way buddy.
I appreciate your mild amusement at my attempted humor.
Having lived in Philly from 2004 - 2006, I wholeheartedly agree with you. The city is falling to shit. Nothing like a corrupt ineffective government with a corrupt ineffective police force to speed up the deurbanization of a once relevant city. I've never actually seen this billboard, but I'd like to think that it's located at the entrance to the Ben Franklin Bridge, so that as the dwindling population of the birthplace of freedom flees to the exurbs of New Jersey, they're left with a name a face and a phone number to attribute the death of their city to.

Oddly enough it is one or two blocks away from the Ben Franklin and the very road that leads to it(Linden Street I think), but faces the traffic that enters the city. But yeah, point made, Philly is gettin pretty bad.

It'd be cheaper and more effective for Philadelphia to just build a giant mirror facing Camden
...ouch
that one hurt inside :'(
