Gimme your wallet!
That's the center city I know
Watch out, high roller over here.
Maybe you are...
Welcome friend.
Good call, I'll add it in.
Honestly, a lot of things are better than Geno's/Pats.
It does seem like a bitch to drive in/through.
I was born and raised in Philly and moved to Dallas, TX in 2006. After visiting every other year since moving here, I've found myself enjoying the city more and more, much more than I did when I lived there. I don't know that I could ever move back though.
I really miss Wawa though, and would trade it for Whataburger.

I always get a cheesesteak from Johns Roast Pork when I go to Ormans which is right down the street. Best rolls I have ever had.

Bucks/Montgomery county checking in. Great OP!
Guys, the Phillies are actually on a roll right now. Would've never thought it.
Edit: I am actually looking forward to the Pope coming. Gonna try to go down and see him when he comes.

Opinions on Hakstol in here?
Station Pizza in NE Philly has the best cheesesteaks.

Anyone old enough to remember when he was here in the 70's?

Very Phillyish. Nobody needs a reason to give him shit. With his stupid hat and stupid car.

Graduated not long ago with a degree in computer science. looking for software jobz n stuff.
I hope I can find something good soon. I need to move out of suburban hell.
Boo to you too!
I liked the halal cart at 16th and market and them the burger cart between market and jfk on 17th. Had decent chicken teriyaki too
Very nice OP. I was born and raised in South Jersey and am a Rutgers-Camden alum. Lots of great memories of going into the city to visit the museums and parks, take in an Eagles/Phillies/Sixers game, hit up some bars in Old City or just to grab a late night cheesesteak.
I live in NC now and the one thing I miss most of all is Wawa. They are spreading south but not fast enough!

OK so, take this with a grain of salt, but my boss's brother is a cop in MontCo and he's told her that they are taking almost all cops from the surrounding burbs and importing specialty (K9, bomb) units from Chicago for his visit.
Apparently, from ~22nd to ~7th and ~Arch to ~South is gonna be cordoned off to vehicle traffic. Add in a shitload of tourists filling up the remaining public transport, you have a Center City that is essentially shut down.
My coworkers in the burbs and South Jersey are already planning to work from home. It's gonna be nuts.
Should be easy enough. In the legal scene, I know that a lot of the larger firms are looking for people with your credentials.
As long as this is going down on the weekend when I'm not here

Born and raised in Bucks County. Huge Flyers fan. Pretty big Phillies fan and I guess I'm a fan of the Eagles haha.
Going to spend the better part of two days in Philly next weekend with someone. Spend all day in Philly on Saturday then go see the Lion King broadway show. Sunday going back to Philly for the Zoo. Gonna be fun

He's going to introduce some new and much needed energy into the team and it's going to be fun.

Haha... Oh wow. Are we thinking of the same place? Across the street from the Wawa and Somerton train station?
Anyway, I basically live at South and Broad. Work at 8th and Market. Lived in Philadelphia my entire 30 years.
OP should include the performing arts side of things. Like Merriam Theater, Kimmel Center and Academy of Music.
That's the one. I used to go to the Somerton Swim Club as a kid!
With an operation of this scale, take into account that there will be like a week of prep and a few days of breakdown and cleanup.
It's gonna be chaos. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be the only one in the office because I'm walking distance, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'll get to goof off with the other select few people who make it in.

I was in Philly last week and I had cheesesteaks from Jim's and Dalessandro's. Jim's was really good, but I'd have to give the edge to Dalessandro's.

Grew up in Delco, currently live in Manayunk and work outside Philly. Went to college in Pittsburgh, definitely made me appreciate Philly a lot more

Yeah, I know next to nothing about this scene. I'll add the mentioned in. I've heard good things about the Walnut Street Theatre too. Is that a legit spot?
I consistently hear good things about their steaks but have never been. I'll add it in.

I haven't been to the Walnut St Theater in a long time but I hear good things too. Pretty sure it's legit.
Kimmel Center is a really well designed space, acoustically. I've seen some Philly Pops / Philly Orchestra shows there.
I've been to a few dance shows in Merriam and I go to the Nutcracker every year in Academy.
The Academy is a beautiful building:
And, yes, you should go here because I too would say it's the best in the city.
Haha. Small world. My parents live right around the train station. I walk to Station Pizza every once in a while for some fries. Killer fries there.
I used to live in Philly, but moved to Wisconsin recently
I used to be an intern for the Preston and Steve show too, shit was pretty awesome yo
Also, worked for the Phillies for 4 years. Miss Philly a lot, but mostly because I cant find good food out here, and no Wawa is a terrible thing

I'll have to keep a look out. If I can avoid selling my soul to military contractors like Lockheed and Raytheon i'll be pleased (even with less pay)
cuz the midwest is a cultural wasteland

German food is banging out here, but Asian, and Italian food are nowhere near as good as out there
Pizza hut is prolly my best Pizza option, which is a sad sad truth to live with
They definitely do. It's been a couple of years since I've been back up north, but if I go to grad school it'll be NYU so there will surely be trips to Philly.

You should definitely go. I'm already planning another trip to Philly just for Dalessandro's cheesesteaks.
Not really, but I will go back there some day.
Everyone stay dry, it's gross out there today.
You may be dating yourself my friend.
