Philadelphia and Baltimore are fighting over a dead man, which may have pleased the former owner of the body being that it’s Edgar Allan Poe.
Edward Pettit writes: “This is a literary grave robbing. I want to exhume his body and translate his remains to the City of Brotherly Love. … That’s because Poe is ours. He belongs to Philadelphia.”
Sarah Weinman has tolled in too, saying Poe Knows Philly.
