Absolutely. For what it’s worth, I’m not trying to do a Pgh v Philly thing here and I know it’s not a 1:1 comparison.

Yes, I would really enjoy the proximity to NYC and DC!

Thanks! I’m not too concerned with niceness, after all, I live in Seattle. People are here are the “seems mean, is mean” type.

It’s interesting to hear you say Pgh is cleaner, I assume you mean just the general condition of streets or…?

Can I ask where you lived in Pgh? Everywhere we lived was in the East End: Lawrenceville, Point Breeze and West Oakland. I’m wondering if these areas are more comparable to the Philadelphia suburbs than any city neighborhood!

I currently live in Seattle with my boyfriend but he’s looking at a job in Philly.

We used to live in Pittsburgh and I am from PA, but really unfamiliar with eastern PA.

If we liked Pgh, do you think we would like Philly? We’re planning a trip to visit the city and get a feel for how we like it, but I would be curious to hear from any other Pittsburgh transplants to Philly. Thanks in advance!
