It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the beloved comedy about the most selfish/hilarious group of people owning a bar in South Philadelphia has been a hit for years for a reason. Rob Mcelhenny or Mac on the show grew up in Philadelphia and knows the city’s ins and outs. The show may be fictional, but it does take place in a lot of prime Philly locations. Although there are a lot of scenes filmed in Los Angeles, there are always sneak peeks of the City of Brotherly Love in at least a few episodes each season.
