10.

Haven't lived there in forever but the town had a lot of character especially in the early 2000s.

Be feeling right at home in Philly

7/10

Nice east coast city, walkable, reasonable weather. Great food, great culture. Great sports city

Love my city... and the eagles


Surprised no one mentioned neo soul in here.

We can take it back to 70s soul too. People sleep in the city becuz of the appearance but being from Baltimore I love that shyt. Strong black presence. A lot of doe music and food. The history is endless

zero....architechturally it might be the ugliest city in the world....the females are hideous too

That's straight bullshyt. It's consistently named as one of the top cities in the US architecturally speaking.

Philly is my hometown. I give it a 7. I actually rate higher because I know the town and the people. But I recognize that it's one of those towns that you have to have born or raised in to love.

Never been but nothing outside of Creed maybe, even made me remotely want to go.

Might be a cool place to visit once or twice, i met this cool/cute black chick from there while i was in the service who I probably would’ve dated had she stayed around longer but that was it.

all I remember is how they booed every team out there... seemed like a depressing place to live

I'd give Philly a 7. Good food, great architecture with possibly the best day time skyline in the country (Atlanta has the best night time skyline). I hate the weather, and the girls are rachet as fukk.. and thats coming from a Baltimore nikka. It's also unique being one of only 2 majority rowhouse cities in the country.

I don't think it's particularly that similar to NYC tho people tend to view it that way.

8/10. Philly is an underrated city, imo. Food is good but it won't be the famous or well known places that have the food. A lot of history in the city as it was America's unofficial capitol.

A lot culture and a very passionate Black community. Also a lot of museums. But the African American museum is a must visit as it was the first of its time in the US if I'm not mistaken.

Good sports culture though the white fans can be a litle extra.
