Now for the "Philly is shytty" comments. Yes there are very shytty parts. And like I said in my first post, things are changing but the city still has a long way to go. They recently shutdown the Gallery and knocked down an entire block of buildings across from it. Market East is about to be one of the most expensive shopping districts on the East Coast. An investor from NY is pouring money into the North Broad Corridor from 76 up to Temple. You've already seen changes with all the new condos. Some one purchased the Lorraine Hotel and are about to begin working on renovating it into condos. Town houses are popping up everywhere in the Kensington Area. That entire area all along the El train is gonna get revamped. The empty warehouse across from Sugarhouse is currently being turned into a Fillmore. A boardwalk will be built along the river from the casino going north. A huge complex is going to be built on the festival pier that will include condos, shopping, restaurants and bars. The Brewerytown area is on the come up. A few years ago nobody would be caught dead there. Another casino is being built down by the stadiums.

When I first moved here from NYC in 03, I lived in Northern Liberties. shyt was all warehouses. The Piazza or bars/restaurants, weren't there. I've seen so much change throughout the neighborhoods i've lived in during my 12 yrs here. Give it a few years breh and this city will really blow up.

I've been here for a long time now, I like it hell of a lot better than my hometown (Vancouver)

What I dont get is why is it that there are so many people (especially New Yorkers/Texans) who have such a weird obsession with hating Philadelphia :mindblown:, you are never on our minds yet they feel the need to come into every Philadelphia discussion and talk shyt. It's similar to the weird obsession a lot of CACs have with Black people.


As far as Philadelphia goes, there is a very nice Afrocentric feeling in this city that outsiders dont see as Italians/Irish are usually the face of the city but Blacks are everywhere here, the mayor is black, the food is awesome. You gotta try Ritas's Water Ice, Herr's Potato Chips and hit up Wawa if you ever slide through. Of course, Cheeseteaks as well.

Texans? The only hate I see any Texan has for Philly is when the Cowboys play the eagles. Outside of that, Going by an actual place, Texas uses more of the hate shytting on oklahoma.

lol man yall kill me...I've heard a lot of stories of the downtown developing...I'm tainted though living in NYC....thing with here is, when something is mapped out...the shyt takes like a week to get here. When it comes to Philly...the plans are always 3 decades in the making. It's always barricaded by bureaucracy, red tape and a bunch of other nonsense. They been talking about having "big plans" for the city since John Street came on the scene. A lot of what you're referring to seems to be confined to Center City (like 5% of the city) and it seems like regular shyt...come on Cheese Cake factory? Cigar Lounge? Willow Grove in the burbs has more in that mall than they have in the whole got damn city.

Now granted Philly is crooked especially at City Hall and a lot of shyt was suppose to be built that wasn't. This time is different because money makers are coming to the city that is challenging the old standard. Example, the condo's built on 12th and Wood. These two brothers rich said fukk the racist unions and hired independent contractors who were minorities as well and the union terrorized every day but the shyt got done. The city is changing breh because money is finally coming.
