I doubt it as Philly is a mean city

The farmer phrase was only used for the Decav family
But it was total bullshit .

The Decav strong point was Elizabeth and Newark and trust me
Not many NY gangsters would ever venture thru those streets , they
Are very very dangerous neighborhoods for white people , connected or not.
I used to go to one of the go go bars there where whites ran into some blacks
And there were numerous shootings and murders , scary shit , and without question if you were white there were black kids on bicycles offering crack right outside the bar .
