Most of Center City Philly is active on weeknights; slow over on Market/18th etc area as this area is clustered with high-rise commercial buildings but otherwise Philly is busy. Philly has a huge Center City residential population.
I disagree that it's vibrant during weeknights except for a few areas.
Downtown Philly is dead on weeknights. You mean a small portion of it being active like on South St. and maybe Rittenhouse park area! The neighborhoods of the rest of cities, not downtowns, are active on weeknight. Let's be clear on that.
Quite wrong, my man. Whether it be old city, South Street, Gayborhood, Rittenhouse, Chinatown, it all has activity on weeknights. The shops close at 7, but the bars and restaurants keep everything going well until about 2 AM. In addition, Manayunk, Fishtown, NoLibs, Passyunk, Temple, Ucity, Bella Vista, all have plenty of people running around until late in the night.
The only crap part of downtown, which I wish they would knock down, is the area between Market East station, and 5th and Market. It just sucks. Knock it down already.
There are nights when "downtown" Chicago is dead as a doornail..usually in winter (which is an eternity). The action moves away from downtown ..NYC too.

Barely not impressive for its size and I disagree that it's huge. It needs a building boom!
