I have never made a comparison of downtown's in this thread. All I did was list construction happening in D.C. When people got upset about the construction happening in D.C. and called D.C. sterile, that is when I got offended and called a spade a spade. You along with every other Philadelphian on here has yet to talk about the rest of the city which is all I said. Someone reading this site would think center city made up most of the city of Philadelphia. It doesn't....
I've been talking about the rest of the city the entire time lol... have you not notice?
But once again, this is a downtown battle, not entire city battle.

So you're basically saying you had no business in this thread to begin with since you only wanted to compare notes on what city has construction going on?
You having a meltdown about Philly being this and that still won't change the fact that DC's DT is not in the same league (not that it probably isn't great) which is what this thread is about. You worrying about people's perception of Philly the city as a whole is your issue/lack of having life. I could careless what peoples perception is of DC as a whole..nor would I go on some mission for people to see things my way. As I said earlier you guys got way too into your feelings, talking about crime rates, sports teams, etc..which are all signs of you realizing you have no agruement when it comes to what this thread is about which is "Downtown's"
Old City
Washington Square West
Rittenhouse Square
South Street
Avenue of the Arts (plays and concerts)
The Waterfront (Cav's River Deck, Sugarhouse Casino, Roxxy and Bamboo night clubs, Dave and Buster's)
those are the bustling areas with lots of night life activity at all times of the night. obviously if you walk to penn center or logan square where the financial and business district is then it is going to be dead...
there are other great night life scenes outside of Center City as well like the sports complex (concerts and such), Manayunk (Main Street), UCity, Northern Liberties, East Passyunk Crossing, plenty of areas in the Northeast, Templetown
Make sense? Clearly you were in none of those areas if you think there is no night life activity...
You probably were walking Market Street and JFK. Blvd in the Financial and Business Districts knocking on the office doors of the BNY Melon Center and asking why there are no clubs in an office tower if you think there is very little night life activity in Philly... and clearly you didn't watch any of the videos of the clubs/bars I posted.
You would get you point across a lot better if you left those lame jokes alone...I'm just saying
Because D.C. is where black people come to party, not New York. Every time he has listed a nightlife spot, it has been a predominately black venue. That seems to be the major point you and many on here are missing in relation to nightlife. The list of the top 100 clubs in the nation that D.C. had three on were all black venues as well. It's just the culture of the city. U street may be one of the livest upscale black nightlife strips in the nation.
Did you Know Black people do not make the same choice, because they are tens of millions of Individual people?

I come in to every thread and talk about construction. I went into the Washington D.C. vs. Los Angeles thread and did the same thing. Go see for yourself. Comparing cities is for losers personally. Why is that interesting for these people? The only thing I like about this site is talking about construction and development which is universally exciting for most people in the world. Comparing architecture of cities and who has more people on the street is pretty much for losers which most people in the world would say about people on this site. You know, nerds, geeks etc. etc. I just like construction and this is the perfect place to talk about it. What else is this site good for? If you could read my post history, you will rarely see a post that isn't about what D.C. is building. That is all this site is good for in my opinion.

Take a poll about the best places for African American nightlife. I guarantee D.C. and Atlanta are the run away favorites.
