Why such a misleading title? It makes it sound like these businesses are leaving Philly (as evidenced by idiots claiming they “left” because Philly is dangerous)

It’s a magazine written for the suburbs that, despite that fact, uses the name “Philadelphia.” No I’m not kidding.

Because anti-urban clickbait is this tabloid's MO.

This is the same place that published a headline saying Philly was going to hire people who couldn't swim to be lifeguards.

This is not a newspaper.

It’s not a tabloid either, even if some tabloid-y stuff has appeared under its banner (and I would argue that most of what appears under its banner isn’t tabloid-y at all).

As you said, “This is not a newspaper.” A tabloid is also a newspaper, one whose page size is half that of a broadsheet. It was designed for reading on the bus or subway.

We are a magazine. Magazine journalism does differ from newspaper journalism.
