Philadelphia is very much a city of neighborhoods. Your experience in one neighborhood could differ greatly from another, even if it is in close geographic proximity.

It shows often on this sub. People will essentially talk past each other because we’re talking about completely different day-to-day life experiences depending on where we live and work, etc.

And that’s before we get to the people commenting who don’t live here at all.

Spot on. In just a few miles of Germantown Ave, you have Chestnut Hill, Mt Airy, Germantown, and Nicetown all within close proximity and all with very different vibes.

Wissahickon Ave is crazy to travel on with the transition. Go from multi-million dollar homes to high rise apartments to industrial and ending in North Philly within three miles of each other.

For sure. Hell I live in a few blocks of Gtown Ave in E. Mt Airy in a row home and a few blocks over from me are what could only be described as mansions.

I’m in the latter category but at least I try to make that evident with my flair.

I pay city wage tax so I have at least some bitching privileges 😂
