[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drexel and Penn are fine with a lot of visible security. [/quote]

Penn? Please the Warzone people are getting stabbed and shot right near campus. Stop spreading lies.[/quote]

The area to the west of Penn has been a yuppie neighborhood since I was a child in the 70s. Sure, it waxes and wanes, and crime has always been a problem--and I'm sure still is--but it is also, very urban (in every sense of the word), walkable to Penn and Drexel, served by trolley lines and buses that also go to Penn and Drexel. It's a pedestrian neighborhood. Feels a lot safer to me than DC and that's not just because I was roller skating around it at age seven after dark. (Ah, the 70s.)[/quote]

I don't know...I wouldn't consider the area West of Penn a yuppie neighborhood.  The area East of Penn (you cross the river and that is where downtown starts)...that is a yuppie neighborhood.  You sure you have your directions correct?[/quote]

Absolutely. You sure you've ever been west of 40th Street? Guess not. [/quote]

Yeah, I have been West of 40th Street...but admittedly not further than what used to be the old Murphy's tavern (I think that was 44th?).  Again, I would never call that a yuppie area.  [/quote]

You mean "The Tavern?"

Well, all our parents who were doctors, professors, lawyers, architects, Penn administrators, scientists, CPAs, and bankers (not many bankers)  would disagree.

Ever been in one of those really big Victorians? They're amazing. It was a really special place to grow up. [/quote]

We knew it as Murph’s.  It was popular because I believe Murph himself (at least we called the old guy Murph) was not a stickler for IDs.[/quote]
