It's that bad huh? Damn shame given the rich history of Philly.

Also, I love me a cheese steak.

It's not that bad.

It's been less than great since the lockdowns and our DA is a sack of shit, but if you're in the right neighborhood it's an awesome city.

Just bought a place. Surrounded by old philly Italians. It's got its shit to work out and we definitely have a long way to go, but as far as city life is concerned, Philly has been my #1 without a close 2nd.

Yeah, Krasner is a cocksucker by all accounts. I hope the pendulum swings. I need to visit sometime soon. I'm a history nerd but have never made the trip to the Philly. Also, huge It's Always Sunny fan. lol.

Congrats on the house! That must feel pretty good.

Dude you need to get over here if you're a history buff. I lived by independence hall for a while and along with the surrounding area, it's an incredible place. Even though its a liberal cesspool now, it's hard not to feel proud when you're walking the same streets that the founders did.

Yeah. I would take a trip soon, but I want to wait until after the election. I think i will go to DC for the inauguration this year when GEOTUS wins. I will make a stop in Philly in for a few days.

Have you read Ben Franklin's biography: The Greatest American? It does a good job of describing Philly in the early days.
