This might sound odd, but enter the zip code and not the city you live in. for some reason the clock chose some other philadelphia in the world that has a different time zone as its logical conclusion for philadelphia, PA. I entered my zip and the problem was solved
 
clicking on the "i" gives me a list of cities. but setting it to the correct city also gives the wrong time! weird huh?


how do i type in the zipcode. all i get is a list of cities!

Try clicking on the "+" in the lower right of the dashboard screen and then click the "x" on the clock to close it and then open it again from the list of widgets on the bottom of the screen.
 
Do you have the correct time zone set in System Preferences? If you have the wrong time zone selected (and then have set the correct time manually), the widget thinks you're somewhere else and calculates the times incorrectly. For instance, the fact that it says the time in LA is two hours earlier than it actually is suggests that your time zone may be set to Central Daylight Time.
 
ok. that was the trouble the default timing on my machine was set to chicago! problem solved. thats a bunch!
