Where the hell did he go in detroit?!? :Q
Hahaha, note I said "Detroit area"! Anyhow, hung out in Royal Oak and some other suburb on the north side and found some cool brewpubs. I really dig how Michigan does their divided highways in the cities - a shit ton better than the craptastic road system in Pennsylvania.
I live ~3.5 hours from Philly and have traveled there many times. I've driven around from down by the airport (the worse airport I have ever traveled through) to the old Italian neighborhood to get one of those Pats King of Steaks - which are really pretty crummy sandwiches. Been around the university areas and the train station. Also I've stayed closer to downtown in the historical area, which admiringly isn't too bad but isn't all that badass either - regardless that area is probably the best Philly has to offer. We've traveled to the northern suburbs - Valley Forge and King of Prussia - and besides a huge ass mall it isn't any more remarkable than any other major metropolitan area.
far from a shithole though
I find Philly to be a physically a dirty city; Philadelphia sports "fans" are the worse fans I have ever met; the city has a massive crime problem. Yup, it's a shithole.
Sorry 🙁
Conversely I have a blast in Pittsburgh every time I get out that way. I absolutely love Pittsburgh and find it to be a much, much more enjoyable city than Philly.
