[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Philly is mroe 'closed off' and 'angry'. It is an angry city. [/b]

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

LOL. Interesting description. Most people in the Philadelphia area have a backbone and feel real emotions so I guess they might seem "angry" to DC milktoast.

I went for an interview in Philly once (it is a place that has offices in DC and SF and I interviewed in the SF office just before hand).

Same position, just different office, but same organization. Long story short, there were a couple of annoying things they had me do (not related to competence or testing but more HR related) that the SF office didn't and was very nonchalant about.

I made a comment asking why I had to do this, SF didn't make me do it. And this angry overweight italian-american woman whose face looks like she lived a real hardscrabble life retorts "this is Philly, not California!"

That's another thing OP - check it out, philly is one of the fattest cities in the country. Landwhales guzzling down cheesewiz on their cheesesteaks.

CA pussies might not fit in either.  :lol: [/quote]
