Yeah that’s why it’s impressive that Boston is somehow even more racist. It turns out that if you base an entire cities economy around Italian people fighting Irish people you get some prrrrrrrretty racist cops

Came to post that I really liked Eulogy, the Belgian beer bar. But apparently they closed because the owner keeps getting death threats from former employees. https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2017/08/10/eulogy-tavern-closes-old-city/

One evening when I lived at 21st and Sansom, I heard a police siren and roaring engines getting louder rapidly. A few seconds later and a police car chasing another car at high speed down Sansom St blasted past my place, I heard screeching tires, a series of gunshots, and then silence. And then the city LIT UP with police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, helicopters... I swear 98% of Philadelphia's police force rushed to pack in outside of my apartment. What had happened was a guy was driving down Sansom in a stolen car, shot into another car at 17th, and took off. There was an officer in his car right there so he started chasing. The other guy ditched the car at 22nd and Sansom, fired a bunch of shots into the cop car, hit the officer in the shoulder, and took off running. As approximately 517,000 other police officers suddenly flooded the area, he got sandwiched on both sides while trying to run over the Walnut St bridge and decided to jump into the Schuylkill. They thought he swam away and escaped but it turned out he got knocked out when he hit the water and, uh, being face-down unconscious in the water for a very long time until you're found means the outcome was grim. But here's a shot I took of a helicopter scanning the banks looking for him trying to climb out somewhere  I had only lived in Philadelphia for a few months (2006, maybe?) after finally moving out of a small, rural north central Wisconsin town. That sort of eventful night wasn't something I'd have ever guessed I'd experience before then. Anyway, I still miss that city a lot.

Most cities are like that but the mugginess of East Coast cities is pronounced.

The entire city smells like dogshit, to the point where if you ask a local what they know about Wilmington, they’ll say it smells like dogshit.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Philly is America's fifth largest city, Boston is the size of loving El Paso. You can't compare the two they're not in the same category by any means. Boston is some local town, Philadelphia is a world city. Charlotte North Carolina has way more people than Boston. Metro Boston has a few million more than metro philly, boston proper is mostly just small because of how mass zones their towns. Neither are big cities like a new york. I've visited philly a few times, it's nice. Where would be a good area to stay if you visited?

Bust Rodd posted:Yes. We also rioted in the streets when Obama won, and again when we won the World Series... and again when we won the Super Bowl. The other fun fact is how the old Eagles stadium used to have a courthouse and lock-up at the stadium. Great way to save the cost of transporting philly fans. http://www.philadelphiabar.org/WebObjects/PBAReadOnly.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/CMSResources/10Q_TPL.fall11.pdf

If you have money Rittenhouse Square, if you’re looking for hip Air B&B with lots of food and bars then Fishtown, everywhere else is just extremely urban doesn’t have a lot going on if you aren’t a student. Philadelphia’s museums alone are worth the trip, really for Art and Science you can see some of the coolest poo poo in the whole world.

lol i got hit by a car last night right near Federal and Ellsworth i was at a crosswalk and the escalde was slowing down so i crossed but the dude kept coming and hit me at like 4-5mph and knocked me back a few feet, it was some black dude going off on his kids, distracted i got up and stared at the guy and said like "what the gently caress how did you manage to gently caress stopping at a crosswalk up?" and immediately the guy broke into what sounded like the Dave Chapple white-person voice like "Oh my goodness, I am extremely sorry, I humbly apologize my dude. I was talking to my kids, are you okay?" and i was okay so I said "yea man I'm alright, it's not a huge deal just be careful" there was no real point to my story but i got hit by a car near my apartment in philly so i figured i would post

It will be very affordable and close to lots of good bars and restaurants. You can get touristy things like cheesesteaks and water ice. An Uber to Center City will be less than 10 bucks. There's lots of totally free and unrestricted parking.

Remember that time Philadelphia PD dropped a bomb on an apartment building? All major metropolitan police departments are in a race to the bottom where they basically become military forces but it seems Philly really was a pioneer in this area.

Mostly seasoning, quality of the bread, how long they let that steak sit out and how they got it in the first place, the quality of the other ingredients, and the proportion of ingredients, it's easy to make properly but there are still places that output stale cheesesteaks that are greasy as poo poo.
