Here in Philly, I automatically know that someone is a tourist or transplant if they:
-Don't cross against the light and/or "jaywalk" (a term conceived to criminalize pedestrian activity).
-Don't know how to transfer between the trolleys and the El or BSL
-Call the El the "Market-Frankford Line"
-Yell "back door!" at a trolley operator
-Use the named street before the numbered street when describing an intersection (ex. "Chestnut and 16th" instead of "16th and Chestnut")
-Walk slowly through Center City
-Says "the SEPTA" (ex. "I'm going to take the SEPTA to City Hall" instead of "I'm going to take SEPTA to City Hall")
