[@prushimush]

I'm a Philly native who has moved to Boston and I agree here. There are several key differences, but the two cities are pretty similar to one another, certainly more like one another than other cities outside of New England. The claustrophobic cobblestone streets, tiny doors and weathered cellar hatches in the North End and Beacon Hill near the State House remind me a lot of Old City in Philly, if not in street layout but general historic architecture and feel.

[@prushimush]

Luckily it has been easy for me up here in Boston as a Philly native(Super Bowl notwithstanding - don't worry, I still bleed green), every major team except the 76ers plays in different divisions. "Sawx" fans are passionate and honest people. Boston is a baseball city historically, before the Patriots and the AFL all NFL franchises up here had failed to take off.

[@Undecided0]

Every team that I'm a fan of has a rivalry with a Boston sports team.

[@prushimush]

Every team thinks they have a rivalry with the Patriots, but Pats fans up here brush them off - they don't consider anyone rivals because they are "the best" in their eyes. It doesn't help that the AFC East is a shitty division(Butt Fumble?). NFC East on the other hand is very competitive. Sox and Yankees is an old and intense rivalry that will never die. It's still alive. "Stankees" is what they are called up here. There's a little heat between the Celtics and 76ers too, but it's older. Expect it to reignite if the Sixers do well next season.

You will get a lot more for your dollar in Philly. Boston's got a runaway cost of living problem similar to NYC, but it is not a NYC tier city. This could happen in Philly eventually, but it's ~5-10 years away, at least, possibly more. Dorchester is rough. It's practically segregated block by block, full of Vietnamese, Haitian/Caribbean and old Irish Catholic families, and they all dislike one another. It's also suffering from a big price inflation which makes life difficult for the people born there, and there's a big dope problem on Mass Ave(methadone mile). These people are getting their rents hiked to $1700+ for one unit on a triple decker, and they lack access to decent work. It's kind of sad.

Great Lakes Megalopolis is significantly less dense and not as contiguous as the Northeastern Atlantic Megalopolis.

Yeah but we have university of penn which is just as good as Harvard and MIT , well that’s a subjective statement because it really matters what you are studying MIT is the holy grail for engineering but No one surpasses U of P in medicine and it has a really highly respected law school on par with Harvard. U of P has the Wharton business school and the highest ranked dental school in the country. It’s a tough argument those two schools you mentioned are really elite. But on the other side of market street there’s Drexel university which as far as name recognition doesn’t come close to MIT but scholastically is ranked in the top ten in engineering studies, and about ten minutes away is temple university which is the number one trauma hospital and medical school in the world. The stuff that was developed in their labs regarding gun shot wounds is so advanced that the U.S Army and Navy send their doctors to Temples campus and hospital to study and learn all the cutting edge procedures before being deployed to a combat zone. You have to understand Temple is in north Philadelphia which is like a combat zone without the Geneva Convention to protect the poor students that come here from some farm in Idaho and have no idea what they just walked into until they experience their first home invasion at gun point. I can’t tell you how many freshmen girls go missing only to be found dead in a abandoned house 50 yards from their dorm building it’s really sad.

All Alone really do you live in Philadelphia because I was born and raised, I did a lot of work on the campus , and I live at the far eastern end of Girard ave so I know that part of city well.The whole area around temples campus is not being gentrified and Diamond St. is one of the biggest open drug markets in the city. The only area anywhere near that school that is being gentrified is the part of Kensington where the EL turns , of course Fishtown is nice ,and Port Richmond is one big construction site with half million dollar homes being built in every empty lot available. There is nothing to the North or West that is not a ghetto and to the south you have to go to spring garden street before it’s a nice neighborhood.

Mr Big MIT & Harvard are consistently ranked better than UPenn, lol. Nobody would even compare UPenn to those two, easily the best two schools in the world. MIT obviously has a focus on math & engineering, (although Sloan is often rated higher than Wharton), and the Harvard business school is the unequivocal best in the world. Harvard’s medical school is also better than UPenn. Harvard is the greatest school in the world. UPenn is not only behind Harvard & MIT, but also Princeton, Stanford, and Caltech. I can’t believe you’re seriously trying to make the case UPenn could ever come close to MIT in the offered degree choices or Harvard in, well, basically anything. Harvard Law, Harvard Business, Harvard Medical are all obviously way better than UPenn. Boston also has Tufts which has beaten UPenns dental school multiple times, not that anybody really gives a shit about dental schooling anyway. If you have such a love for Philly you’re going to make this outrageous argument I pity you. UPenn and especially Wharton are some of the best schools in the world.

[@9EtheRStaTiCShOcK]

Michael DiSciullo the only thing is that philly is bigger. But you have more of a CITY feel in BOSTON, it’s more crowded, a lot more cultures, and you have to have money to come here. BOSTON is more educated, more densely populated, and more clean. He just said it’s older. And the architecture is better. Philly can compare to Baltimore and St. Louis when it comes to importance. Philly downtown is so small. And i been to Chinatown in Philly. It’s like two blocks 😂. That’s no Chinatown. Trust me I’ve been to Kennsington, university city, south philly, north philly, Wyoming ave ect in philly. And I’m was born and raised in philly. And honestly it’s was boring and extremely trashy. And I felt Boston was more modern in a sense it was for classy professionals or if you have a good income. If your poor go to philly. If you have a career or high class and want a modern clean city feel Boston is for you. Boston is so more advanced. Philly trash. And i lived in both cities. END

Definitely have been to both Boston and Philly and yes you’re exactly right Mr. Beat, Boston is a super hard city to navigate and drive in due to the layout of the roads and streets are there. That’s pretty much the case in all of MA, Another thing also is those streets change names every few blocks and addresses tend to have about one or two digits most of the time. I could never live or survive in Boston without a smart phone because of this.

[@Tubes12AX7k]

Tasting at least one good Hoagie is a must. The name Hoagie came from Hog Island, which was where the Philadelphia International Airport was built. Many of the workers were immigrant laborers mostly from Italian background. The workers' wives would pack lunch food for their husbands that was based on food from home, but modified to fit what was available to them. It's sort of a cross between a Mozzarella di Bufala e Pomodoro, and Puccia. At any rate, the Philly Hoagie is delicious. The roll can't be doughy....it has to be airy and a little chewy. With fresh tomato.

[@dogdayafternoon9551]

I once went on a road trip stopping at both cities. Definitely two of the greatest cities the US has to offer.

[@abramsmm1]

Boston is prettier but a much costlier place to live, for not much, if any, additional income. It is also more prone to boom and bust, affecting all of New England. Boston has the traffic jams (and they drive like NYC taxis), Philly area has the tolls. Can't build east from Boston, creating all sorts of transportation issues, but also creating the coastline attractions. Both have good health care options and plenty of colleges and universities. There is more poverty in Philly, but I find people friendlier, or at least more polite. Philly is noticeably warmer. I would choose Philly, but being careful about where to live. A good comparison would be Philly vs. Baltimore (the 2 remaining places in the mid-Atlantic where you don't need a trust fund to live and work).
