As a Philly native living in the dmv now, I miss our food terribly. Not just cheesesteaks but the GOAT Italian food, the Thai food, the Jamaican food, the Chinese food, etc...

Same here DMV food scene is nothing compared to Philly.

Before I Let Go - Maze & Frankie Beverly
Summertime - The Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff

I'm moving back to the area from the DMV

I love what University City will become in the next few yrs with improved transportation infrastructure, more high-rises, retail and restaurants

Patiently waiting for University City Square 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 to be complete...as well as Schuykill Yards

To be honest the city like most in the country is going through a rough patch. Zombies everywhere and crime. Those areas are nice but if you got kids I would think twice bro. If you could get real estate and wait.

i go out there every now and again.

That's one of the main reasons it was so hard to adapt to DC when I lived there. The food and the culture differences. Beautiful city but, their culture is so unique its jarring because its nothing like NYC/Philly. Had me going to Georgetown for offbrand cheesesteak paninins to get a familiar taste of back home. There was a spot in Columbia Heights called JJ's Cheesesteaks but, they closed down. I've accepted I'm going to spend my life in the Philly area (either PA, Delaware, Southern Jersey or in Maryland near the Delaware border) because I start missing home when I live somewhere else too long.

That's one of my main issues with Philly. The suburbs are so boring I'd be using so much gas driving back and forth to Philly. A company would have to pay me $80 k or more for me to even consider moving back to Philly. Good food just isn't a good enough reason. Yea you got a nice house in Middletown or Elkton Md, but it's boring. South jersey going over that bridge daily would annoy me.
