Ever wondered what questions non-locals have about Philly? Which stereotypes are true and which ones need debunking? In today’s episode, City Cast CEO David Plotz asks host Trenae Nuri about jawn, “Abbott Elementary,” Philly cheesesteaks, who gets to say they’re from Philly, and much more.

Want to dive deeper into the word “jawn”? Check out our episode with linguist Dr. Taylor Jones.

We also did a whole episode about “Abbott Elementary”! You can listen right here.

The PennDOT open house will be Wednesday, February 1, at 6 p.m. Find out more here.
