Philadelphia Freedom

Phila is all the things I love about DC, without all the things I don't. It's hipper & cooler without trying too hard. It's more age diverse. It's friendlier - no airs, no posers. Concertgoers are more into the music, and the performers respond accordingly. There are fewer sirens and they're not as loud. And it hasn't (yet) been ruined by block-swallowing mixed-use development.
