I moved to North Philly from Colorado due to work. I expected to hate it, but after a few months I fell in love with it. The history, the variety of the neighborhoods and how green it is. Great food scene and sports. There is something different about this city and it's people.

Fun to see 40% of the street videos being of my neighborhood. Having lived in Center City almost continuously since 1982, we use our car so infrequently that we have to write down where we park so we don’t forget. One topic the narrator doesn’t address is culture. I can walk to performances of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the main venue for touring Broadway shows within 15 minutes and the Philadelphia Museum of Art of the Barnes Collection within 30!

I do the same thing. I probably drive less than once a month.

The one thing i will say about people being friendly is that strangers on the street are very friendly. I believe we have the rudest customer service people. If you go to the suburbs, you get "regular" service, but in the city, people look pissed that you entered their business. There is no "hello" or anything. Its "what the fuck do you want?" I dont really mind it, but just wanted to mention it if that bothers you.

lol, yes it always bothered me. Lived in Bucks County but worked in Philly. Moved to Southern California 25 years ago, and one of the first things I noticed was how much more friendly the customer service people are. In Philly whether you order Starbucks or shop in a business, the clerk makes you feel like you are bothering them while just ordering something. Bucks County is just as bad, it’s all the same with nasty attitude customer service people. Just today I went to In & Out Burger in California, and was greeted by a smiling young lady, who asked me how I was doing, before she even took my order.

I'm coming for a one-month visit this fall. I'm working on my list. I will contact you beforehand because, at my age, I know exactly what I want, and the list of what is a waste of everyone's time is getting longer by the year. I'm currently living in Costa Rica. You'll need to fix the weather before you can expect to see me year-round. Thanks for the videos.

It depends where you live. Center city is relatively safe but north philly and south philly, depending on which part are very dangerous

I've lived in Philly for 30 years without owning a car and that's with getting married and raising 2 kids. Of course it's easier living in Center City than further out but you have to factor that into affordability as well. If you can avoid the 20-25K a year that many spend on car ownership then you can afford more/better housing options plus you won't waste 400 or so square feet of space with a garage which also ruins a lot of floor plans of the homes.

Indeed. Location is an important factor in needing a car or not in the city.
