Intense. When I think of Philadelphia I think of variety: The richest of the rich, the poorest of the poor and everything in between. The city is so mature, hundreds of years old. It's seen booms and busts and booms again. It's shiny, it's run down, it's colorful, it's dull. But it is a collection of everything a city could possible be.

What about the Flyers and that shitshow I just watched on TV?
Quite an intimating looking location (except for that little view of my cable guys), I love it.
Thanks.
The gentrification line (and my place) is two blocks west of this spot which has been the spot of two killing in the past year. The turnaround is that stark in places.
Flickr's the reason I bumped this, actually. In my traffic stats over the past couple of days I've had a few hits from SSP that linked back to this thread so I said 'what the hell'.
Glad this got bumped... I picked a good time to stop back. Beautiful thread VZ.
