I have lived in Ohio, Florida, and along the south Jersey shore (more or less). I have been as far west as Colorado, spent significant time in NC, SC, KY, and maybe a couple other states in the south, up north in NE, & in Canada (if only for a weekend in some cases...more or less).
Nonetheless, NYC is full of rot...mostly rot just like every other major metropolis on Earth that perhaps didn't start the Industrial Revolution. Despite this, I might see it one day...I might not. I'm not much of a tourist nor am I so career-focused that I feel I have to "make it" somewhere where it's supposedly the toughest place to do so.
Philly ain't a beacon of light no doubt about that but it's no bed of roses in terms of one being a success or living comfortably or just even surviving. It ain't where ya are...it's who & what you are...and here I are. If Philly ain't on the radar or even "on the map", I'll put it there or die trying.
