I don't know if the moderator can see deleted comments, but this bot needs adjusted. Friendly suggestion.

Mods can see deleted comments, but they may not see this unless you send them a message.

You just convinced me. I'm pressing the up button.

I agree and am calling my congressman about this right now. I live in California, but I’m sure he can work it out.

Let’s not go overboard. Take it in stages - start with Philtimore & Baladelphia.
GoonTime2@reddit
Moradelphia and Philbalt

We did that back in 1976 for the bicentennial.

What happens to Baltimore Ave. in Philadelphia?
SpiritInTheSystem@reddit (OP)
Add in some pedestrian friendly infrastructure
monoglot@reddit
It's pretty pedestrian-friendly. Maybe like two screwy intersections.
DentinQuarantino@reddit
OK, how about less pedestrian friendly then? I really feel like we ought to do something, one way or the other.
LongStoryShirt@reddit
Double roundabout?
GhoulTimePersists@reddit
The hits don't stop with this guy! But maybe they will, with some more pedestrian friendly infrastructure.

Nothing. There’s already a Baltimore Avenue in both cities. However, the Maryland city already has a Philadelphia Avenue, so the Pennsylvania city will need one as well.
althawk8357@reddit
You replace it with a street sign from Philadelphia Avenue in Baltimore.

Flip, Flip, Flipadelphia!
Cefer_Hiron@reddit
I think both can named Aladeen

Why not go 50/50 and call them Baltidelphia and Philamore
Sadimal@reddit
Or Maryland reclaims its original boundary line at the 40th parallel. That way we reclaim Philadelphia and still have Baltimore.

Next can we switch Oklahoma City and Kansas City?
On_my_last_spoon@reddit
As long as it’s Kansas City, Kansas and not Missouri. Then we have Kansas City, Missouri and Oklahoma City, Kansas.

Finally, an actually crazy idea
Avoider5@reddit
Sure. Why not.
Jman15x@reddit
Absolutely not
