Some times you say things that don't even make sense. The sales TAX doesn't go to the stores, the stores pay the tax to the government for sale of an item , the government gets all that money, whether it be state tax or government tax. So it would be senseless for one store not to charge tax and another one not to, they can be charged with tax evasion.

[@Bozemanjustin]

The problem is when you visit a city that is Democrat controlled versus Republican The Democrats are communists who want to crash the Bill of Rights The Republicans want to preserve the Constitution and the freedoms it gives Americans

I agree. It’s best to visit in may or June. The weather is more comfortable.

[@patrickandrews5166]

I guess people - especially foreigners - don’t realize how big Philadelphia is. It lies between NYC and DC so it often gets overlooked. But Philly is a huge city. And believe it or not it is a major tourist destination. And it’s a shame they visited in January. Summer is so beautiful in the city. You can dine alfresco at most restaurants and lots happening.

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

Philadelphia is the second largest city on the East Coast. And nationally it's still in the top ten....I think 6th largest in the nation now. It was the third largest till 1950 when Los Angeles overtook it; and then Los Angeles overtook Chicago as second largest in 1980.

[@garyfredericks814]

Philadelphia has the largest natural park within its city limits of any city in the world. The first operating room in the U.S. is in Philadelphia. W.L. Gore Created Goretex, they are in Wilmington, Delaware considered in the Greater Philadelphia area. Philadelphia is a city of Neighborhoods. Each Neighborhood has it's own culture. Old City has been preserved from colonial days. The cobblestone streets were Ben Franklin's idea. Ships that came from Europe to bring goods back would have the boat loaded with stones which they'd off load at Penns Landing. The piles got too high and they needed to find a way to get rid of them. Franklin had the idea to use them to pave the streets.

[@jamberstone1]

Yes! The Wissahickon Valley "Gorge" was an internationally famous tourist attraction for visiting Europeans in the 1800's & looks pretty much the same as it did then - very beautiful & a bit wild

[@lisadarcelwicks]

I was born and raised in Philly and it’s soo cool seeing you walk around my old stomping grounds in Center City … I went to art school in Center City and then worked downtown for years after ❤️ I moved from Philly to Arizona for warm weather in 2015 and I kinda miss it

[@gdhaney136]

I bought a Gortex windproof jacket 34 years ago, and I still have it. I got it 60% off because I worked at Eastern Mountain Sports. Best investment ever. Still stops the wind and the rain. I'd pay full price - totally worth it.

At 2:22; I understand what you are saying about not wanting to go into a store that is empty; too many 'hi, can I help you?'s! I'm from the U.S. and I am so socially awkward, I seek out stores with self checkouts, the invention of the ATM was one of the highlights of my life. I remember every time I wanted cash, I had to go inside the bank or to the service counter of a store to cash a check. Social interaction...ugh!!! :P

[@mspfinney]

You two need to come to Minnesota, (Minneapolis, St. Paul) in the summer. We have lots of things to see and do including the Mall of America, the largest shopping mall in the United States. It has its own wedding chapel, indoor amusement park, several very nice restaurants, hundreds of stores, an entertainment floor with movie theaters and comedy club. We have no sales tax on clothing here so no added expense.

[@goosebump801]

🙌💯 Yes! @Joel & Lia Come in late August and catch the Minnesota State Fair, too. State Fairs are often not that great, but we really do it right here. The variety of tasty, unusual food…the animal showings (besides seeing them in their barns - including piglets, newly-hatched chicks, etc.)…the midway rides…and amazing people-watching opportunities. And you simply MUST try Sweet Martha’s Cookies: freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies with the most perfect texture…! And as @mspfinney said, there is lots to do. Minnesota is called the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for good reason, and the weather will be beautiful in August/September. I’d recommend you stay in Uptown. Check it out! ❤️💐

[@richremaly8418]

Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothing and most of our groceries.

No one outside philly will know this but the uniglo store their in was my college called the art institute of philly.

Cool to see my school now a store in their video lol

[@stephmomof4856]

Love y’all! Lia so cute with her “Tahcoes” it reminded me of when my 14 year old Son was reading the menu at a fancy Mexican restaurant and he was nervous to order so he pronounced the food as he read it “yes…I’ll have the chicken qway-sun-dill-uh” I nearly DIED right there… all I could hear was the line from napoleon dynamite,” why don’t go in there and make yourself a dang qwesadeeluh?” We have lived in TEXAS since he was 2. Lol but for real y’all are so sweet. New Balance are awesome (they last longer than Nike and I like the retro black and white ones) and I love living vicariously. Stay safe and have fun! (Mom of 4)

[@saratemp790]

Fun to see you in downtown Philly because I grew up near there. I also didn't know that Urban outfitters came from Philly. I used to shop at the only Urban outfitters in the Village in New York many years ago and I thought 'that' was the first one. I'm surprised it's now found all over the world.

Yes, Urban Outfitters is Philadelphia based.

[@kieranshae]

British cadence is always interesting, I've never heard anyone say Uniqlo like that.

[@chrisbrown8748]

17:33 It’s tons of food options all over the city and that wasn’t always the case.

[@LarryHatch]

Great vid, guys! Goretex always makes stuff expensive but that's a major ripoff. You can buy the real branded fabric for $12-15.00 a yard on ebay. You can imagine what the sweat shops in China are paying for your bit of Goretex inserts - maybe 5-10 cents at most. GTX ramps up the price and only for one reason...they can.

[@liamengram6326]

As someone who hikes a lot, Goretex isn't just a price tag booster, it's a necessity. Try hiking 16 miles in boots that are waterproof but don't let your feet breathe, you'd be better off just hiking in tennis shoes since your feet will end up soaked anyway.

NY NY been too worried over increased street crime to visit since C V. What I love most is to go to the historic areas including Independence Mall, Society Hill and the Old City to commune with the founding fathers. At moments I have been moved to tears. But my best trip was years ago before 9 11 etc. and heavy security there. No bollards and I thing there were not metal detectors. East in to Independence Hall, the old Liberty Bell Pavilion. No apparent drugs or 'smoking' on the streets; and South St. was fun. Oh the convention center not built, so it had not yet destroyed, seedy as it was some of it was, that section yet.

[@rileyreed2230]

Love the vlog! The mask mandates are weird for me too, I got so used to wearing one anytime I went inside anywhere but yesterday I forgot it and had to go in somewhere without it. I know it’s different depending on the state and where I live in California, It’s optional if you want to wear one or not; it still felt weird though and most times I will probably still keep wearing a mask. The shopping trip sounded fun and really successful too! 👍👏☺️❤️

[@garrettklein7720]

I'm in Missouri and it's very rare to see anyone wear a mask now. Since the cdc made the new recommendations and covid-19 has cases have been going down, even more so than a couple months ago. I wore a mask until the last couple months. It feels nice to not wear one now. Hope cases don't spike and we have to go back to them.

I am SHOOK that Joel wears an extra-small jacket! He's tall and muscular, an XS is usually what a really slight, skinny, like skeketal gawky teen would wear! If fit Joel wears an extra small, what do those rail-thin, bony shorter men wear? Super duper extra small? That doesn't exist. And usually in men's sizes, Small is usually the smallest, meant for those extremely unhealthily skinny shorter guys. And he thought that was too big? I'm surprised those small sizes are long enough for his tall frame. That size really is meant for tiny little guys, usually just transitioning from boys sizes. Most guys Joel's more fit and healthy size wear a medium at least. Just shocked after working in retail clothes for many years and helping guys decide which clothes look best on them, including measuring and tailouring suits, I just can't imagine someone of his height and thin but healthy- fit build wearing literally the smallest size available for men.
