Somewhere in between. Feels A LOT larger than Baltimore, yet quite a bit smaller than NYC. So yeah, a big(ger) Baltimore.

I guess I don't really understand it.
I don't find Philly as anything like Baltimore.

Philly is so unique in the way it was built, nothing like NYC and nothing like BMore careful.
Well, I guess I can see how someone would think it's similar to NY (in it's high density) and how someone would think BMore (w/ it's tight row housing), but to me, Bmore, Philly and NYC all have their own flavors, incomparable to each other.

Philly and Baltimore are built similar. Also, Philly's young black culture is a lot like Baltimore's: What they wear; what they drive; the whole dirt bike situation. I've felt more like home to me than DC. DC feels more like a tame version of NYC.

Philadelphia seems more like New York than Baltimore, but it is still very different from both. In my opinion, Philadelphia is most similar to Boston, but again, it is still different. Philly is Philly, it's not a bigger this or a smaller that.

Now, I'll be on my way and start my "Is Seattle a bigger Portland or smaller San Francisco thread"...

Baltimore. It doesn't compare to cosmopolitan New York City in any way.
