The "tude" I have is in reaction to what I've gotten since moving here. I've never had any issue whatsoever in the other 3 spots I've lived in Center City.

I'm open to everyone being cool, I just haven't seen too much of it so far. Maybe things will change, but I am surely missing 12th street at this point. It's not a total loss since the new apartment is so awesome.

I've lived in the same 'hood as you for the past six years and I've yet to have any kind of problem with my neighbors.

Methinks the neighborhood is not the problem.

Nah, I think eldondre would concur with me that this area where megahurt now lives boasts a good share of malcontents on PB (starting at Lombard and going down to Catherine)... but it takes 10 of you guys to equal one zur, all else being equal.

I happen to have lukewarm enthusiasm for DiCicco, and I'm happy to stay in his district East of Broad.

'Sides, parking over here isn't such a bear. And we think his scooter is cute.

Meh. Just move back to the gayborhood. Are you cute? We can use more hotties over here. Getting slowly tired at the sea of bald+goatee guys around here.

I like to think I'm "cute"... but it hardly seems useful in the sea of senior citizens that I see all over this hood. Not that it was a whole lot more useful on 12th, since I'm straight, but I digress.

Meh, you don't need to be gay to live in the gayborhood (but you already know that).

The gay mafia approves permits for straight people to live here all da time.

For single straight females, it's a great area to live in. You can be fairly sure when you leave your stoop at night you won't run into a serious problem. And there's always hot menz looking for a new hag (aka bodyguardfairy or "my, ugh boyfriend" when yucky guys hit on you).

Jefferson nursing staff and admins are more inclined to date you because

a) you can afford to live in the area
b) you are 5 seconds from their work shift.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

By the way, 20th and Lombard? There is nothing over there? Well, down here on Chestnut, the people are real cool and keep and going down and the neighborhood gets nicer. However, the other night, I walked down Quince street and loved the little alley with the guy playing with his dog and people sitting out. There really isn't too many places to hang out outside right here, unless you are homeless, and then I like to get you up and moving if you overstay your welcome. God I am mean. I walk my dog everyday around 20th and Lombard, haven't seen your scooter yet
