I vote for Weblo, though I do think it could be the TA. One is funny, the other a pathetic loser.

Uhm, this one statement makes me think that you don't want to be near Fishtown. You want to live as close to UPENN's campus as possible.

Or better yet... I think you'll find more of your feather in California.


Philadelphia will be way too blue collar for you.


Down with the proletariat.

Sure, I'd prefer them to be in someone else's neighborhood but honestly, I think an increase in traffic is going to be the sum total of the effect on the neighborhood. I am tired of the whole casino debate and extremism on both sides...I tend to think it will neither be as good or bad as anyone says. Both sides have ridiculous statements that make me roll my eyes.

Brooke, the OP probably also doesn't realize how different Philly people are from NYC'ers.

The casino debate is nothing compared to the extreme sciaphobia* residents who live in $250,000+ homes have.


And the original poster also doesn't realize how fiercely neighborhood groups try to keep empty rotting vacant lots from being developed in favor of the impromptu parking spaces, vs. developing something beneficial to the community.





* n. fear of shadows; Philadelphians are afraid of tall buildings and constantly bitch about the shadows they cast on the ground--especially during daytime hours when those same complainers are not in their homes b/c they are at the workplace. We're not talking about tall buildings blocking your view in your highrise condo, but tall buildings located almost a mile away. Google the Inquirer for Vincent Fumo.

We live in a wage slave neo-feudalist system wherein the capitalist mantra of "profit first, get your own, look out ONLY for your self interest and screw the rest" has taken America by the throat and is squeezing with all its might. You don't even have to be a pinko anymore to recognize this. The symptoms and problems are manifold, lotteries and gambling are the bottom feeders of this system.



So Hard work gets you ahead if you choose the right path.?

I'm confused...



THis guy's a sucker?
