I’ll be in Levittown (North of the City) from Saturday-Monday. South Street isn’t too bad to visit, I’m hoping to see more of the city this time around. (Visiting the girlfriends family.) ---

I like Philly. Wouldnt mind living there for a little bit, but not somewhere I would want to settle down. Glad you like it. I always enjoy visiting though.
