Philadelphia is a shythole

[ISO]

Just got back from Philly

The nightlife does suck I went to the sorriest hookah lounge of my life...shyt was run down with one worker and it was BYOB and it was poorly furnished I left that shyt with the quickness

Then I went to another lounge near Chinatown that had a god damn cover fee and you had to sit at the bar if you wasn't getting a bottle and that shyt wasn't even active on a Saturday night

There was this bad light skin joint with the silky 24 inch Brazilian, fat ass in a green jumpsuit she looked like Heather Rose, but she left quick because the lounge was type dead. I can't speak too much for the women it was Made in America weekend there were a lot of young college girls 19, 20 years old from the local colleges and at this point I ain't looking at no college sophomore chicks. A lot of the locals that were working there were average or rough looking but the Coli got this funny thing where they pretend only Northeast women from the hood are rough looking. It's the same everywhere and every hood got those around the way types and diamonds in the rough. I'm sure Philly is no different.

It’s a good looking city downtown is nice and there’s Upper West Side-ish looking blocks. I wanna hit up North next time for sure and just venture around the whole metro. But I was there short stay in a telly downtown

The cheesesteaks are overrated. Ishkabibble's was the best, the shyt I had from Cleavers was massive but pretty flavor-less. I'm not a fan of the cheese whiz they throw on it. To me it was nothing Ock in NYC can't make in the deli and at least you know they gonna throw that orange Sazon packet in.

Philly got a serious problem with its youth. I was in Center City and the teens just congregate downtown outside the fast food establishments and by the movie theater. I swear it was more teens than adults down there at night. I didn't think nothing of it but it sucked to hear that they were supposedly fighting and ransacked the local Wawa and that its a recurring thing for teens to ransack the Wawas to the point they closing early.

Yeah Philly night life been fell off. The majority of the folks go to DC and other places out of town. It's sad because in the 90s and early 00s Philly was the spot to be. We had out of towners here back then but now it's horrible

Just got back from Philly

The nightlife does suck I went to the sorriest hookah lounge of my life..

Over the last 10 yrs it's been a transition from downtown club/lounges to hood bars in individual neighborhoods being the main spots ppl go to
Every weekend Philly downtown is dead, even on Made In America weekend apparently. Maybe Riverdeck was popping on Delaware Ave but that's about it.
It never use to be like that, this is kind of a recent thing.

Positive from this is a lot of black owners are coming up as they are the people who own the local bars (ron uncut, barcode, bleu brook, etc)

 

[Womb Raider]

Philly ppl don’t want to be in Philly lol.


I’d drive up to Brooklyn every weekend if I could

 

[ISO]

Philly full of one way streets too

 

[Money Be Green]

Philly full of one way streets too

Just like Bmore, DC... the whole east coast

I was at Bleu Brook on Fri...went to school with one of the thicker bartenders, got 3 rounds of shots for free 99

Cheap apartments. But atmosphere

This is originally why I wanted to move to Philly after graduating from Pitt. So I could be close to the DMV and NYC

But then I settled on moving to NYC instead.


I love Philly to death...but man it gets rough there.

Man...I have had BANGIN cheesesteaks from the bodega...

And this is gonna hurt some philly poster's feelings...but I've had better cheese steaks living in Brooklyn than I did in Philadelphia.

Nothing wrong with Philly in my book except the fact that the city is dangerous and some parts look seriously dated.

Another issue narrow streets with cars parked on both sides. Using a uhaul in Philly is a nightmare.

also the people at the beginning of the thread saying the south has better looking neighborhoods I’d imagine are comparing good areas to the bad parts of Philly which is not fair.

I’ve taken the Marta train in ATL and the ghetto areas I saw there don’t look any prettier just more grass and woody areas.

I spent $290 in there a couple fridays ago (paid for a birthday group). Had a good time and I'm noticing those kind of lounges are becoming the new thing in philly. Check out Kings Cafe on Chelten Ave. Similar vibe to bleu brook except bigger and with pool tables in there
