i've lived in all parts of the city... Feltonville, olney, Port richmond, university city, frankford, fox chase and parkwood...and im gonna tell you that its all ghetto...all over. no matter if your in the NE or the badlands. Whereever septa runs a bus, youll find a ghetto. Whererver theres an apartment building, a mall, or a project, youll definately find a ghetto. And with the city becoming more and more desolate, jobs moving out, crime growing, economy plummiting, abondoned buildings spreading, the citie's 'badlands' will infest the "white neighborhoods" in no time. 20 years from now, youll all wish you lived in scranton, or reading, or allentown. The way things are going here, centercity wont be a community, it will be a tourist atraction and thats it. people wont live here unless they have no other choice. People who can afford it now are moving out, and thats what will continue to happen until the entire city looks like np or wp

The greatest city behind New york. Very urban and has the best food in the country ( besides New york). To the person that said Philadelphians were being mean to them, toughen up! get a back bone! Thats how people in the northeast are get over it!
Philadelphia is great!

"Philadelphia is not the city of brotherly love; it’s the city of incest. Philadelphia comes from the Greek Philadelphus, a title commonly given to men who married their sisters."
"Philly is not the city. New York is the city."
"Philly is not the city. New York is the city."

Where troubled youth spend most of their days chilling out, shooting basketball, and getting into physical confrontations.
