I use to wear a bullet vest when walking to work at night after having two guns pointed at me during a robbery. You just never know when it will come in useful.

^^^ I think visually places like N Philly or a Camden are about as bad as it gets in the US. The S Side of Chicago probably has some areas just as bad - both cities have more than fair share of bad areas.
There's nothing positive about ghetto culture, unless you're into thingsc like poverty, ignorance, butchering the English language, out-of-wedlock births, dope or senseless violence.
Philadelphia has better food, a more vibrant downtown, better transit, more bikeability, superior arts scene, more history, higher quality museums, better festivals, and less crime.

Shut up and stop being a homer. Philly is a bigger Baltimore not a smaller NYC. Chicago is called the second city for reason. Public transit is better in Chicago than Philly and so is everything else. The only thing Philly has over Chicago is location and weather.

Chicago is called the second city because of the Chicago Fire! The term doesn't have any relationship to New York. Philly can give Chicago a run for its money. I'm not saying Philly is better but it's arguably pound for pound just as urban as Chicago.

I know that but the same way the mason dixon line was originally intended to divide MD and PA and DE, it turned in to a north vs south thing. The "second city" term for Chicago really does mean #2 these days but don't tell folks in LA and Philly that though, you won't like them when they're angry lol.

You say that as if being a smaller NYC is a compliment and a bigger Baltimore is an insult. Lets get things straight now. All of the cities in the northeast are similar to Philly as it was the model city back in the day. Basically if you mix parts of Boston, NYC, Baltimore and DC together you'd get Philly. People like you are the reason Philly is underrated. I bet you you think Philly was NYC or any other Northeast city if we blindfolded you and dropped you off in the middle of Philly.
