I saw someone online say "it's like if someone came and parked their nice car in front of your house, and decided to leave it to rust up for the next 3 decades". I don't mean to overly negative (too late lol), but I can just imagine how many parents over the years have come to Philly to drop their kids off at college and they visit IKEA, sit in the cafeteria, and munch down on a meatball staring out the window thinking "maybe Philly is just a big junk yard" haha..

As someone who grew up here in the city (West Philly & Germantown) and went to that IKEA several times as a child, I can assure you that most people don't think that. We always referred to it as Philly's Titanic, and wished that we could go on board and check it out. It's just such an interesting oddity, and shows that Philly is full of them.
