"I live in Philly, one of the biggest cities on the NE coast outside of NYC. I travel pretty regularly between NYC and here for work. The state of American cities is insane and ignoring that for fear of being sided with conservatives is purely cope."
"NYC is too clean and gentrified and you can't afford it anymore? Move to Detroit, or Baltimore, or Saint Louis, any city in Upstate NY. Parts of Philly would probably work too. You could rent a dumpy apartment in these cities for $600/month."

"Some of the Muslim girls here wear very tight dresses that show off their asses and it's very confusing. I think a good chunk of them are recent adult converts, so it's not like they're trying to piss off daddy by being more secular/sexual. Strange things are happening to the American Muslim communi"
"I am a 29yr women in West Philly who desperately needs to make new friends. I'm involved in a longterm hetro monogamous relationship and am strictly looking for friends/community...

"Yeah, there isn't any culture and there are only two decent coffeeshops in town. Yeah we don't get good movies because we don't have an indie cinema. But I have found PA natives, at least in my area (Philly and Pittsburgh are different stories although I enjoy both cities), to be really fucking awes"
