Census moves Phoenix ahead of Philly in population

The AP reports:
Philadelphia is no longer a top-five city, in terms of population.
Phoenix is now the fifth-largest city in the country, bumping the home of the cheese steak, hoagie and Independence Hall to number six.

Leaders in both cities have traded friendly trash talk for years over the number-five spot. But with the release of updated U-S census estimates earlier this week, the desert city finally overtook Philadelphia.
One town has union problems,the other doesn't.The way Philadephia's going San Antonio will eventually pass it.
