Official Philly Discussion Thread....

[filial_piety]

This thread bring back memories

Was born in Philly, mostly raised in WOL. From Sommers Road / 72nd and Ogontz, my Grandmom still live there, been there almost 50 years.
Also lived in Mt. Airy, Olney, G-town, Glenside for a hot second.
Spent my HS years in S. Jersey / Sicklerville, then went to college in Camden.
Was in NYC since 2014, and now in Pittsburgh last 3 months.
Aint nothing like Philly tho... , shyt just feel like home when u there. I'll probably move back at some point.

I heard Cheltenham reopened finally, but it's like a outlet type set up.
Paganos been my cheeseteak spot since a youngin', but they been fell off since it changed ownership.

Murder rate was crazy this year from what I seen. Had some family effected by that shyt too.

they tore Cheltenham Mall down and turned it into a pavilion. It's aiiight, but it'll never the be the same as when it was indoor with Clover, the Aracade, the movie theater, Gimbals, Scorpion clothing etc etc....

In gentrifying Philly, speculators pay heirs peanuts — then flip their properties for massive gains

Two young black men flipping properties in Philly have made $4 million.

They getting folks to sell property for 6K or 14K then flipping a few days later to sell at over 100K.

Is this problematic coooning (we know the folks they finessing look like them, almost guaranteed) or just young entrepreneurial black men self empowering themselves through American style capitalism?

It’s really a small world too cuz this jawn i went to middle school with in PG dates the bul on the left.

On one hand he making money. On the other he is speeding up the whitening of Philly

Y’all talking about the arcade that used to be outside the movies in cheltenham mall. The memories.
My mom used to take me. She liked mortal kombat but soul caliber was my favorite.
