[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in West Philly, in those forties blocks before Penn Alexander existed and went to Masterman. It was a fantastic place to grow up, with a blend of urbanism and space I have longed for since and found nowhere else. University City, they'd call it, then. I think it's nicer now than it was in the eighties... But other parts of the city are poorer and the lines between the haves and the have nots are sharp. I would move. back in a second. Hell, I'd move back on half our salary. But it must be said that on my Facebook friendslist full of Masterman alum... I think I know two families that stayed in the city and both have gone the private school route. Masterman's bigger than it was, but I think it's harder to get into than ever... And while good high schools exist, and good elementaries, yeah MS is a problem.[/quote]
