The Ben Franklin Parkway is basically a lil champs elysees
Yeah, there is some jay nay say qwa about it.
Some day-jah vous.
There is a French Quarter
I live here. I never thought of it as particularly French and after hear this I still won’t.
Kek yeah nobody from the area would say Philly feels french
I've been to 46/50 states and visited about half of the major cities in the US. Philadelphia is easily my least favorite. I have never felt more unsafe than I do walking around Philadelphia. There are junkies on every street. At night, it looks post-apocalyptic with addicts just wandering around in the middle of the streets like zombies. It's the only city in the US where I've seen someone robbed at gunpoint in front of me, or where someone just openly tried to sell me crack. I saw a guy walking around carrying a hammer for protection on South Street. After ten minutes in the city, I understood why.

This sounds like someone who saw videos of Kensington and acts like they've been to Philadelphia
I lived in Baltimore for 4 years when I was in college. And Baltimore is a ROUGH city. I had to live in Baltimore city to qualify for a scholarship. I left 3 days after I graduated. I saw some absolutely horrid shit in those 4 years. When I say that Philadelphia is the worst city I've ever visited, that's no joke. If you live in Philadelphia and you think it's safe, you are completely and utterly delusional and suffering from PTSD.
Kek I imagine you cowering in fear downtown while a group of Catholic Schoolgirls walk by. So frail
Last time I was in Philly, someone pulled a gun and stuck it in the face of homeless guy standing 3 feet from me. The homeless guy wouldn't give up his money and the dudes buddy walks up and smashes the homeless guy in the face with his gun. It was over a $5 bill. By any metric, Philadelphia is one of the most miserable places in the US. The only way you could possibly defend such an utter shithole is that you don't know any better. You must be pretty fricking stupid if you choose to live in that rat infested cesspool. The world is a big place. You should get out and see some of it.
Seethe low T male
Try going just across the bridge to Camden. Its even worse, lol.
You've either never been here or just drove through a hood or some shit
I grew up in Frankford, then moved to Mayfair. Would commute downtown on the El regularly. I 100% agree with him.
Well it reminds me of paris with how many you know who being around
>you know who
Of course I know who. People who enjoy long breads, of course.
>long bread is looooooong
It certainly has a lot in common with Marseille.
It's America, they should be striving to be as not-French as possible.
I'd rather live in Lagos Nigeria.
At least Philly has safe zones in the center and northeast.
Here is all the guidance to Philadelphia you need to know: stay in Center City and parts of South Philly. If you're around skyscrapers, you're safe. Don't travel west of 30th St station. If Google Maps tells you to take the Market Frankford line (refered to by the locals as "the L") to get somewhere, do not go. If you take an Uber, do not chose the ride share option. They frequently pick up people in the ghetto. And whatever you do, avoid Camden at all costs. If you're going there for college and need cheap rent, go to Northeast Philadelphia or the area around Abington and take the commuter trains. Never start taking opioids because you will not be able to stop, and you'll end up as a Kensington zombie in 3 months.
The guide to Philadelphia is to just look up the gun violence map the city comptroller publishes online and live where you see fewer dots. New Jersey should just be avoided in general.
>Don't travel west of 30th St station
Ignore this guy it's fun over there
Why are people like this
Ignore him. He's obviously a terminally online weirdo if his first reaction is to start spamming political memes.
le French connection oui oui
I unironically can't tell whether that's Paris or Philadelphia.
>dirty, smelly, piss and trash everywhere, and the people are rude
yup, it's French alright
Philly is also filled with blacks who trash the streets just like my Paris!
its another fireworks or explosions? night
living in philly is suffering
If you were born and raised in Philadelphia, maybe I could understand defending it. It's a poor city. The vast majority of people who live there aren't exactly cultured world travelers. They don't know anything better. For anyone else who's just passing through Philadelphia on a vacation, it's a fricking nightmare hellscape of human misery.
The people born and raised there are the least likely to defend it. We've all seen the inner workings and know its a shithole. The most defense comes from people from rural PA who moved to Philly for college and have only seen Center City, their university campus, and a few touristy spots in South Philly. They are usually self-proclaimed socialists for some reason, which is in line with that one anon posting this
in response to criticism. Their response to the massive problems the city faces (heroin, murders, robberies, rape, looting) is to pretend the problems don't exist, or to try to make it easier to commit these crimes.
