    I walk in Philadelphia, PA from University City near the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) to Penn's Landing via the entire length of South Street.
    From Wikipedia:
    "South Street is a street in Philadelphia, which was originally named "Cedar Street" in William Penn's original street grid, it is an east-west street forming the southern border of Center City and the northern border for South Philadelphia. The stretch of South Street between Front Street and Seventh Street is known for its "bohemian", "punk", and generally "alternative" atmosphere and its diverse urban mix of shops, bars, and eateries. It is one of Philadelphia's largest tourist attractions."

    Man I’ve always wanted to live in Philadelphia. I’m Michigan born and raised, currently living in Florida. I think the next city I’m moving to is Philly. Hopefully by the time I hit 30 years old. This town has got the vibes and imagery that I’ve been looking for in a city. ALSO been considering Boston but I hear there’s a lot of dick heads in Boston, so Philly will do just fine lol

Did it for years and in 2017 was asked if I would transfer to start a center there. Jumped on it and lived there 2 1/2 years until the pandemic when I moved back to NYC. Still go to Philly very often. Actually going there in 3 days. Apart from NYC, Philly is the only city in the US I like spending a lot of time in.

    Hey AK, good to see you in Philly. I only thought you did NY videos. You should do vids of the University City into Penn's campus, the U of P Health System district, to Drexel U campus into downtown. Also, the Fairmount district, over to the East River Drive near the Art Museum region down to City Hall. Main Street in Manyunk. Frankford Avenue near the El (similar to your Bensonhurst video) into the Northeast Philly. hiking trails in the park. This is a lovely city.
