As part of a yearlong exploration of Philadelphia history and experience, Linn Washington Jr., associate professor of journalism at Temple, writes in an essay that Philadelphians hold a heartfelt loyalty about their neighborhoods. “And that loyalty radiates through the collective psyche of the city.
