I live in philly, It's not like your gonna walk around and have to worry about getting shot.
although my neighborhood is pretty bad. last month there were 3 shootings on my block. all you have to avoid is being someone that someone wants dead, or wants something from. all the shootings have been between 245 and 400 when the kids get out of school. also, philly has weird neighborhoods. like where I live, it's bad but the next block east is really nice. and vice versa, north philly is the same too, at least in some parts. Until you get to kensington area, its not consistently run down or getto. west philly too, is pretty bad in places. the temple area even, which is north broad, I dream about putting the spotlights they have on campus on my babies. They seem more powerful then the sun. but yeah, they light that place up like it's 3 pm at night. so, there are patches. But I've lived all over this city. never been robbed so long as I wasn't stupid. (Like counting bags in needle park). as for south street, well, it's having trouble retaining some of there artsy fartsy roots. and the rock n roll stores are being replaced by jewelers. Go fucking figure. Philly, as much as I love this city is really getting annoying. there are a couple places you can go, and it's really pretty out here. the music scene is okay, though not too many people come to support local bands. and true, when the weed is good, it's good!
