In the end, was just missing one sports team. Already had hockey, football and basketball taken care of, so it's probably baseball... what would Philadelphia's team be? *facepalm

"Its always Sunny..." was based on Paddy's Pub right? That is in Center City, more specifically Old City. Nowhere near South Philly. Trust me I've driven past the place 10000 times

Everything I know about Philadelphia comes from Always Sunny. Surprisingly very little of this stuff is ever mentioned. The only equivalents of "you guys" I could think of were things like "Jabronis" and "bro".

Betsy Ross (Elizabeth Griscom Ross) was the seamstress that put together the Original American Flag. The flag was designed by Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey, He was a lawyer, author, artist, member of the Second Continental Congress, the first native American composer, and signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Native American composer as in he was a Native American? Or "native" "American" as in born in the future United States? His name and resume just do not sound right for a native American of the period.

Anyone addressed as a 'native' of any land or place means that they were born in that land or place. ,,,,,,,,,,, As in " A native New Yorker"

Notice the "native American", as opposed to "Native American"? - That should have clued you in to what he was.

There's no actual evidence that Betsy Ross sewed the first US flag. The first time the story shows up is from her grandson in 1870, almost a century after the event would've taken place. The entire story is based on his word of the "family tradition" that she made the flag.

It's amazing that in a quiz almost entirely made p of real people and events, you would ignore the real boxing great, Joe Frazier, for the fictional Rocky Balboa .

I think you hear both yous and yous guys. I grew up in S. Jersey, then 7 years in Philly and also Yous guys is popular up in the Scranton area.

But yeah, you definitely hear yous all over Philly and not just North Philly.

As a Pennsylvanian, DO NOT GO TO PAT AND GENO’S! They are incredibly overrated.

Go for smaller businesses if you want a cheesesteak.

Of course, I have my cheesesteaks without onions, so maybe my opinion’s invalid.

Short of you amending the question to 2nd Continental Congress, the correct answer is Carpenters' Hall as an absence of numerical identification generally points to the first of a series of events or places.

Half of my knowledge about US history comes from The Simpsons, the other half comes from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
