This is just complaining that the SF Exploratorium is not in your city.

No, this is complaining that the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia has gotten worse over the decades.

You're asking a lot to expect people on HN to know that Philadelphia exists.

But that makes sense. Half of Philadelphia is practically illiterate https://www.achieve-now.com/poverty-cycle
