I too adore Philly and have fond memories of visiting family friends who lived in a neighborhood v. similar to the one you described.<br /><br />I've been thinking long and hard and I don't think I've had my Philly moment yet. I am ready and open to fall in love with a city! Been making great strides in my life plan (or at least great strides in being in the right headspace to think about the life plan).<br /><br />Cheers to fun weekends!<br /><br />EAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363285378662330939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-51608960998423370202010-03-31T22:04:41.356-04:002010-03-31T22:04:41.356-04:00Fantastic post - I completely relate to the HS sum...Fantastic post - I completely relate to the HS summer camp at a college. Though my experience was in rural northern Missouri (Truman State) taking a class on chaos theory (math nerd here). some points in your life you realize everything that is possible and that it's so close you can taste it!Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392211010068887721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-74743584366587136722010-03-31T16:53:38.585-04:002010-03-31T16:53:38.585-04:00I consider Philadelphia the place where I became a...I consider Philadelphia the place where I became an adult too. I moved here from out of state nearly 10 years ago on a whim with $200 in my pockets and have never looked back. This city has it's grip firmly around me and I love it. It teaches me new things every day and I am stronger and wiser because of it. From the people in our neighborhood to the network of eclectic, small business owners, to the crazy unreliable public transportation to the thriving independent music scene. I wouldn't trade it for the world.Candihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123510478495595150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-54819667526879563822010-03-31T12:41:05.918-04:002010-03-31T12:41:05.918-04:00I think of Philly as the place where I became an a...I think of Philly as the place where I became an adult, too, but for an entirely different reason. My car was broken into and then towed during a residency interview. In a rain storm. On my last day of interviews after 2 months away from home. And I had 400 miles to drive by morning. The sad thing was that everyone I met in Philadelphia seemed hardly surprised by my run of bad luck. And it wasn't the city of "brotherly love" that I thought it to be. That being said, I learned that I can problem solve under pressure, never let them see me sweat, seek out the light in others and rely on it, and that my husband is the most patient, amazing man on the phone. Whatever Philadelphia is, it certainly is a city of lessons.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149924954853140252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-21963114420695099932010-03-31T09:28:26.922-04:002010-03-31T09:28:26.922-04:00That Philly life looks great!

What ever you do, do not look at Baltimore real estate...they have real life cute row homes downtown for reasonable prices. I am masochistic and browse on redfin.com regularly and then I remember that my commute would be 2 hours with traffic each way:(Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131427928906917323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-29221812766831903482010-03-31T09:08:34.741-04:002010-03-31T09:08:34.741-04:00Our neighborhood in DC is just like the one you de...Our neighborhood in DC is just like the one you describe!
