[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love some of those old houses in Philly and the Main Line suburbs but it would take more than that to get me to move there.  Philly is such a dump and the surrounding communities seem very segregated with little diversity.  I think you'd forever feel like an outsider there. [/quote]

philly is pretty much the 6th borough if you know what i mean. All of the families I know that bought are/were working in new york, and commute back up there multiple times during the week while the other days working in the philly office of their firm (most of them consultants).

it is dumpy but it's getting better.

I find the food scene in philly to eclipse dc by a long shot.

Philly is mroe 'closed off' and 'angry'. It is an angry city.

But I think there's immense value there for the right couple/family/person. [/quote]

Wow, I would call it a city with far more joie de vivre than here. Dc is dull and navel-gazing , power / status-obsessed ... Philly is much more carefree and funky. People are less stiff and friendlier. Everything is negotiable. No sales tax on clothes. Worse economy, so prices are way lower. But there is a sort of self- contained aspect of the city that gets tiring. Also a little inferiority complex. But there are such great things to enjoy there, it was never an issue for me. [/quote]

The whole place has gone down hill since Mayor Rizzo left the scene.[/quote]
