Philly hoods are just different...I get PTSD watching this..

Crazy how Baltimore, Camden, Philly these East coast cities (I’m talking all of north Jersey Jersey City, Newark, etc) they ALL look the same.


If you didn’t see the license plates and phone numbers on the stores, you couldn’t tell which of these cities you were in…

They all look so desolate and cold. But it’s what we know. I’ve lived in the east coast (Atlantic region) my whole life and this is just how things look. DC, Jersey, NYC all these places I’ve lived and they all look alike

There's parts of North Philly that look like Gaza. It's an old broke city.

I live in Chicago now, but I'm astounded at how bad people say some neighborhoods in Chicago are, and they are bad but, Chicago at least has grocery stores and shopping centers. Parts of Philly you can go miles without both. 5th or 6th biggest city in the country and it's just blocks with only corner stores/bodegas.

I notice the property taxes are starting to increase, so this may change.

Sounds like I wouldn’t wish Philly on my best enemy

Here's a video of Philadelphia in the 70's. I been thinking about making a thread on this.

The kid on the bike at 2:28 is actually my uncle who passed away a few years ago.

 

[UpAndComing]

Been to Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Newark, Compton, Oakland, etc. Detroit might have been the worst

This video reminds me of what Bed Stuy Brooklyn used to look like

That's what Camden looks like the one time I went there to fuk a deaf pawg.

Some parts are really nice and the people are a double-edged sword; they can be a$$holes, but when you win them over will go to jail for you. They just let square miles of North, South and Down Bottom (West) turn to shyt.

I used to hang out in some of the worst parts like it was a badge of honor, shyt was silly in hindsight.

Now imagine what it looks like at nighttime. I swear, there are plenty of forgotten and economically neglected towns in America that are straight up demonic. You know those towns that are in the middle of nowhere.I would rather drive through the hoods of philly and not drive through eagle town in california.

Philly is a shyt hole. Most depressing city ever. It’s just UGLY.

Yup. This video ain’t shocking at all. Still parts of the Bx & Brooklyn look like this

 

[3rdWorld]

Looks just fine to me..long as they ain't shooting and stabbing I'm

Now the South Bronx

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Not even The Equalizer could clean those streets

That one block looks like all of Mississippi on one street

 

[L@CaT]

They at least got Great Sandwiches to make up for the depression lol

 

[doublecheese]

Old ass city designed before cars were a thing. Horse and buggy streets tight as hell. Such a dreary looking place. Visited a few times but it aint for me.

I was in West Philly last week, and there were parts that look like Yemen, but then i realized thats not even the worst parts of Philly.
