If you could live ANYWHERE in PA..... where would you choose? (Philadelphia: house, safe area)

[CHIP72]

I'm originally from eastern PA and have visited Center City Philadelphia a handful of times. I also live in "true" Silver Spring (i.e the downtown portion).

I learned early on that visiting somewhere is not the same as living there.

Yes I've been in Balt/DC traffic,but how could it be suicide when it's always so jammed?...
Have you been in n.e.phila I-95 or 76 or south Jersey traffic? Now that's suicide! Matter of fact I've taken up Prozac because of it

There should be a sign that if the traffic gets "X" bad it should show ads for a gun store so people can get off and not wait till they get home.

ha, never had the pleasure . i avoid 95 like i do skin cancer

I actually made a pact with myself the last time I drove 76 that I'd avoid that road at all costs! Now I plan my trips around it,I think Mapquest has that option also

Yeah, the Surekill, I mean Schuylkill, Expressway is even worse than the DC Beltway. Whoever designed the Schuylkill should be shot, if they aren't dead already.

What really sucks is if you are trying to get to the University City area from the west. You can either take the Schuylkill or drive down Lancaster Avenue (or a combination of Montgomery and Lancaster Avenues, which is a little faster) and then once you get through the western half of Overbrook drive through the loveliness that is west Philadelphia. Ugh. Thank goodness for the Amtrak Keystone Service (and/or SEPTA R5).

Because after a certain amount of time you begin to wonder if it'd really be all that bad to gun the engine and ram your car into the guardrail/other vehicles...
