No, Philly certainly isn't NYC lite, and nor should it be. It always cracks me up when people compare Fishtown to Williamsburg or Bushwick. Philly does have its own thing going on, though, and has a lot of potential to be a real creative center on the East Coast. At 50, I'm too old for clubs, but what I would like to see is a more robust art/experimental music scene that isn't dependent on bringing people in from NYC, which is what seems to happen. I mean, I like seeing my friends do stuff here but I already see most of them when I'm in NYC for work 2-3 times a week.
