Like each of us, cities earn their nicknames and, like each of us, cities may long for another nickname when saddled with a less-than-favorable one. In a city with a mayor who just released a two-decade plan to be litter-free, Philadelphia may wish to be "The City That Works" but is still, mournfully, "Philthydelphia." If it is to work, Philadelphia cannot be a city of the little fix because when the fix is in for some, the rest of us are left in a city that can never live up to its potential.
