Overall

I currently have lived in Philadelphia for three years. I am digusted by the filth of the city. It seems like Philadelphians are the dirtiest people on earth. There is trash everywhere. The people are very rude and would probably give you the finger before holding a door open for someone. They are also the worst and rudest drivers. Center City is a very nice area but WAY OVERPRICED as for the few other neighborhoods that are not crimeridden. It took one month in Philadelphia before I was mugged at gunpoint and when I mentioned that to any Philadelphian there was no sympathy moreover they would respond with "Oh when I was mugged for the third time" or "When my car was stolen." The rent, taxes, and general cost of living are way overpriced for what you get here (lets face it this is no New York or DC....but the prices are comperable). I am thoroughly digusted by this city and cannot wait to leave this summer. Save your money and go to DC, New York, or Chicago. MAYOR STREET AND CITIZENS OF PHILADELPHIA GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND CLEAN UP THIS CESSPOOL!!!!!!! Oh btw the food is good and the history is a nice benefit.....but dont get mugged on the way to Independence Hall or dinner.
