No. The riots + pandemic really ruined Philly. The charm is lost…

I kind of feel the same. Although, it has improved since 2021. The summer of 2021 was really the worst I've seen my area and I've been here since 2007, and in a different neighborhood since 2005. I thought I would buy something and stay here, but now I'm not sure. Waiting to see what 2023 brings.

I think when it hit rock bottom any sign of life was seen as an improvement lol. I’m not arguing that people aren’t in Philly. But the old world charm, the brotherly love, which is what made Philly Philly, just isn’t there anymore. Idk how to explain it really. It’s just, different.

I don't disagree with you, but I've felt it other places too. Pandemic did a number on humanity.
