Yeah, I know the early '90s were the low point. I was five when Rendell was elected, so I don't have a clear memory. My Center City experiences are from the late '90s when the recovery was definitely underway. Also, the historic sites were still fine back then and Center City at its lowest point was never Camden.

I think Oxford Circle was nicer in the '90s, though.
