Some times you say things that don't even make sense. The sales TAX doesn't go to the stores, the stores pay the tax to the government for sale of an item , the government gets all that money, whether it be state tax or government tax. So it would be senseless for one store not to charge tax and another one not to, they can be charged with tax evasion.
The problem is when you visit a city that is Democrat controlled versus Republican
The Democrats are communists who want to crash the Bill of Rights
The Republicans want to preserve the Constitution and the freedoms it gives Americans
Philly born and raised here! You came during the coldest time this year lol if you came in july you would have said its the hottest place on earth lol
So true
I agree. It’s best to visit in may or June. The weather is more comfortable.
The funniest part of this video is you guys learning the Philly slang term "jawn" LOL!
I guess people - especially foreigners - don’t realize how big Philadelphia is. It lies between NYC and DC so it often gets overlooked. But Philly is a huge city. And believe it or not it is a major tourist destination. And it’s a shame they visited in January. Summer is so beautiful in the city. You can dine alfresco at most restaurants and lots happening.
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 I grew up in New Jersey. Still live here in Delran.
Is this an attempt at an elaborate ruse? 🤔
Philadelphia is the second largest city on the East Coast. And nationally it's still in the top ten....I think 6th largest in the nation now. It was the third largest till 1950 when Los Angeles overtook it; and then Los Angeles overtook Chicago as second largest in 1980.

Say what? No.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 How many names are you up to now?
Philadelphia has the largest natural park within its city limits of any city in the world. The first operating room in the U.S. is in Philadelphia. W.L. Gore Created Goretex, they are in Wilmington, Delaware considered in the Greater Philadelphia area. Philadelphia is a city of Neighborhoods. Each Neighborhood has it's own culture. Old City has been preserved from colonial days. The cobblestone streets were Ben Franklin's idea. Ships that came from Europe to bring goods back would have the boat loaded with stones which they'd off load at Penns Landing. The piles got too high and they needed to find a way to get rid of them. Franklin had the idea to use them to pave the streets.
Yes! The Wissahickon Valley "Gorge" was an internationally famous tourist attraction for visiting Europeans in the 1800's & looks pretty much the same as it did then - very beautiful & a bit wild
I was born and raised in Philly and it’s soo cool seeing you walk around my old stomping grounds in Center City … I went to art school in Center City and then worked downtown for years after ❤️ I moved from Philly to Arizona for warm weather in 2015 and I kinda miss it
I bought a Gortex windproof jacket 34 years ago, and I still have it. I got it 60% off because I worked at Eastern Mountain Sports. Best investment ever. Still stops the wind and the rain. I'd pay full price - totally worth it.
There's something very warm and comforting about those two. Maybe it's the accents.
Good job Lia with the usage of jawn 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😄
It’s so fun that you rented in the middle of everything. Fun vlog. I def wanna visit Philly!
At 2:22; I understand what you are saying about not wanting to go into a store that is empty; too many 'hi, can I help you?'s! I'm from the U.S. and I am so socially awkward, I seek out stores with self checkouts, the invention of the ATM was one of the highlights of my life. I remember every time I wanted cash, I had to go inside the bank or to the service counter of a store to cash a check. Social interaction...ugh!!! :P
I love how Lia kept saying “thank you” to the sunglasses dude and then he’d ask them another question! Fun conversation though.
Lia saying “Jawn” 😂
tomato pie is a pizza with no cheese.
Love your shopping and lunch vlog in Philly!
So glad you had such a great time in Philly! Give it a try in the summer - the vibe is definitely different.
Love that you came to my city and enjoyed shopping. Hugs💖
I’m so glad you guys found the charm and beauty in Philly! I’d encourage you guys to visit again in the warmer months! So much more to see and do and eat!
Joel and lia are no more! Joel got a boyf and has no time for Lia 😢
You two need to come to Minnesota, (Minneapolis, St. Paul) in the summer. We have lots of things to see and do including the Mall of America, the largest shopping mall in the United States. It has its own wedding chapel, indoor amusement park, several very nice restaurants, hundreds of stores, an entertainment floor with movie theaters and comedy club. We have no sales tax on clothing here so no added expense.
🙌💯 Yes! @Joel & Lia Come in late August and catch the Minnesota State Fair, too. State Fairs are often not that great, but we really do it right here. The variety of tasty, unusual food…the animal showings (besides seeing them in their barns - including piglets, newly-hatched chicks, etc.)…the midway rides…and amazing people-watching opportunities. And you simply MUST try Sweet Martha’s Cookies: freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies with the most perfect texture…!
And as @mspfinney said, there is lots to do. Minnesota is called the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for good reason, and the weather will be beautiful in August/September. I’d recommend you stay in Uptown. Check it out! ❤️💐
Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothing and most of our groceries.
I totally enjoyed that shopping trip! 🛍
Bummer it was cold, but so glad you had fun shopping! ❤️
No one outside philly will know this but the uniglo store their in was my college called the art institute of philly. The store itself is located in what was known as our annex with the library in the basement, offices on first floor and classes on the second floor. Cool to see my school now a store in their video lol
You need to look in the cabinets below for possible extra tea etc.
This was such a fun video!
Philly is the absolute best city!
I agree. I've been saying that for years like my entire life
I’m proud of your use of “jawn”, Lia!
Jawn is still very neighborhood localized. Been in this area since I was a kid and NEVER heard of it till last year!
Chicago, Chicago Chicago , best Architecture in the world
You should travel to the King of Prussia mall. It's massive and has a founding farmers there. Fantastic brunch.
You two really are awesome I love this channel so glad I found you🙌🏽
Jawn is also a delco thing, we also say (wooder) for water
Lmao it’s so so crazy to see you guys walk past places I see almost daily
I think tomato pie is more of a thing outside of Philadelphia, in the surrounding counties. But if you want to try it they probably have it at Reading Terminal.
I've tried it once but I never thought of it as a Philly thing.
Yeah it's more a countryside thing.
Great vlog, guys!
Thank you guys. Love your videos. Im pretty new to your channel and im going back and watching all of them. So fun. Hey have you looked at going to Eureka Springs Arkansas sometime?
Love the vlogs!
People from Philadelphia just say Philly.
So with the trainers Joel started his way to dad clothes it happens to all of us lol much love to both love the channel
My late husband and I went through Philly and it was so much fun. We loved it. Still didn't get a philly cheese steak sandwich though :(
I can't believe how cool the Air BnB communal area was. It looks like the best Air BnB ever 😍
When I visited it was FREEZING rain. And standing out in line for liberty bell over 1HR was miserable lol
My daughter took me to the humus restaurant two years ago. It was packed and just cold. The food was good 👍🏻
3:17 I have to get to that Uniqlo. I live a ways outside the city and the 2 around here closed.
Love y’all! Lia so cute with her “Tahcoes” it reminded me of when my 14 year old
Son was reading the menu at a fancy Mexican restaurant and he was nervous to order so he pronounced the food as he read it “yes…I’ll have the chicken qway-sun-dill-uh” I nearly DIED right there… all I could hear was the line from napoleon dynamite,” why don’t go in there and make yourself a dang qwesadeeluh?” We have lived in TEXAS since he was 2. Lol but for real y’all are so sweet. New Balance are awesome (they last longer than Nike and I like the retro black and white ones) and I love living vicariously. Stay safe and have fun! (Mom of 4)
17:33 It’s tons of food options all over the city and that wasn’t always the case.
Great vid, guys! Goretex always makes stuff expensive but that's a major ripoff. You can buy the real branded fabric for $12-15.00 a yard on ebay. You can imagine what the sweat shops in China are paying for your bit of Goretex inserts - maybe 5-10 cents at most. GTX ramps up the price and only for one reason...they can.
As someone who hikes a lot, Goretex isn't just a price tag booster, it's a necessity. Try hiking 16 miles in boots that are waterproof but don't let your feet breathe, you'd be better off just hiking in tennis shoes since your feet will end up soaked anyway.
Glad you came, but you have to come back. It was 70 today. You hit a terrible cold snap. So fun. 😊
Nice camera, great quality!
That looked like salsa verde with your tacos.
Hi m’legends! Fun video!
You totally should have asked that Urban Outfitter employee to give you a tour of the city! He seemed proud of his town! I just learned Urban Outfitter originates in Philly…..but i Love that Store!
I went to college near Philly and I miss it!
Rule of Thumb in the US. Generally less vaccine mandates, mask rules etc. in Republican (Red) states than in Democratic (Blue) states. Hence the different rules in Nashville and Miami than in Philly and New York, etc.
Personally I hate that both side politicized it. I hate that most Republican politicians didn't take it too serious, I hate that Democrat politicians went authoritarian dictatorial regime while exempting themselves from like CA Gov Newsom, PA Governor Wolf's 2020 hot mic comment with regards to his mask "I’m waiting so we can do a little political theater."
British cadence is always interesting, I've never heard anyone say Uniqlo like that.
Indoor Mall means terrible prices. 😄. Inner-city means terrible prices. The one thing suburbia would have come in handy for. 😋
Definitely should come in the spring, its warmer and more alive. When it's cold nobody comes out
I want to see you ask a sales clerk for a jumper and she shows you some overall bib front pants!! Lmao!
New Balance shoes are based in the Boston area. They might still have a factory store. I'd have to check.
Love shopping!! Did you do happen to find any European sections in the stores at any of the US locations you stayed during that last trip?
Fun to see you in downtown Philly because I grew up near there. I also didn't know that Urban outfitters came from Philly. I used to shop at the only Urban outfitters in the Village in New York many years ago and I thought 'that' was the first one. I'm surprised it's now found all over the world.
Yes, Urban Outfitters is Philadelphia based.
Pre-COVID at least there were 6000 different restaurants in Phily compared to 22000 in NYC. That's a decent number for such a smaller city with 6-7 million fewer people and not as many ethnic cultures.
So sorry Philly shut down the observation deck in Liberty Place in 2021. You two could have got a very cool view of the city.
You guys are awesome. Love seeing you guys enjoying yourselves in our country. That lounge at your flat with free coffee and tea..such a score. I liked the first pair of NB too. Cool glasses and what a cool guy chatting with you. I think he had a crush not sure on who? That London accent goes a long way over here. You guys could probably get away with murder and just smile and start speaking and we’d just let you go
It can be difficult to find good winter clothes in southern states like FL.
Hahaha he was teaching you about Jawn 😂 my gf just got it down packed since moving here lol
Suggestion should you revisit Philadelphia, at the Reading Terminal, there is a shop called the TEA LEAF with wonderful choices of loose tea.
NY NY been too worried over increased street crime to visit since C V. What I love most is to go to the historic areas including Independence Mall, Society Hill and the Old City to commune with the founding fathers. At moments I have been moved to tears. But my best trip was years ago before 9 11 etc. and heavy security there. No bollards and I thing there were not metal detectors. East in to Independence Hall, the old Liberty Bell Pavilion. No apparent drugs or 'smoking' on the streets; and South St. was fun. Oh the convention center not built, so it had not yet destroyed, seedy as it was some of it was, that section yet.
I don't know if the National Parks service is going to start doing it like this spring/summer-but a few years ago they had a special walking tour related to the life of Alexander Hamilton and His time living in Philadelphia. They showed the areas where He lived while He was living there as well as the first national bank of the United States.
My son and his partner are right over the bridge in New Jersey. His partner's mom and brother live in Philadelphia PA. His sister and I live in Upstate New York.
I am so glad that you enjoyed Philly, it's sort of the like the biggest small town in the U.S.. It is overlooked often, but it's a great city (provided you stay away from the Northern section around Kensington and Allegheny streets, where the drug addicts lay on the sidewalks).
i wish you guys would’ve gotten to Primark while filming this! I worked at a different one in Pennnsylvania for a while and would’ve loved to see your reaction to how different it is compared to the UK ones. also there is a primark just outside of Miami!!
A lot of clothes shrink after the first wash. Might be good to get a one size up.
Enjoyed watching you shop in the US, hopefully you found something different from what you would find in London. I hope you had fun.
At least it would be cheaper! But yes I agree with you.
@@chrisk5651 I don't about cheaper I think that it depends on what it is and where it was made. I just hope that they found something different from what they would find in London. They hopefully enjoyed their time in Philadelphia.
It was 19°f last night it’s so cold in pa rn 😬
I live in Northeast Pennsylvania, and you do not need a Covid card to get in anywhere, it is the large cities that can set their own rules.
Now you don't, you did a couple months ago when this was filmed.
Best item of shopping vlog.. libra book, libra weakness buy everything lol.. hey its not are fault the stars told me to buy it.. well thats what my excuses is 😆 🤣 😂
Go Re Tex had me cracking up lmao
Tomato pie is a sort of pizza. No frills but really good
Wow, you walked past the Union League at the beginning of the video. I’ve stayed there a number of times. I live 45 minutes away from Philadelphia.
Did you see any sites that only Philly has like Constitutional Hall, the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin Institute, or Museum of Art?
Yes, they were shown or mentioned in previous episodes.
@@Jack_Stafford How did I miss those? Thanks. Will look again.
@@Jack_Stafford All I see is the prison episode. 😖😖😖
@@TinyDancer250 they will have more videos upcoming.
@@saratemp790 Oh, lovely. Thank you. They're adorable, aren't they?
Love the vlog! The mask mandates are weird for me too, I got so used to wearing one anytime I went inside anywhere but yesterday I forgot it and had to go in somewhere without it. I know it’s different depending on the state and where I live in California, It’s optional if you want to wear one or not; it still felt weird though and most times I will probably still keep wearing a mask. The shopping trip sounded fun and really successful too! 👍👏☺️❤️
I'm in Missouri and it's very rare to see anyone wear a mask now. Since the cdc made the new recommendations and covid-19 has cases have been going down, even more so than a couple months ago. I wore a mask until the last couple months. It feels nice to not wear one now. Hope cases don't spike and we have to go back to them.
not just stat by state, its city by city
I am SHOOK that Joel wears an extra-small jacket! He's tall and muscular, an XS is usually what a really slight, skinny, like skeketal gawky teen would wear!
If fit Joel wears an extra small, what do those rail-thin, bony shorter men wear? Super duper extra small? That doesn't exist.
And usually in men's sizes,
Small is usually the smallest, meant for those extremely unhealthily skinny shorter guys.
And he thought that was too big?
I'm surprised those small sizes are long enough for his tall frame. That size really is meant for tiny little guys, usually just transitioning from boys sizes.
Most guys Joel's more fit and healthy size wear a medium at least.
Just shocked after working in retail clothes for many years and helping guys decide which clothes look best on them, including measuring and tailouring suits, I just can't imagine someone of his height and thin but healthy- fit build wearing literally the smallest size available for men.
Joel is actually 5'3". Lia is 4'3". They try and hide it with camera angles.
I ❤ skinny dudes...not unhealthy!
@@feathersx5427 no way. They're master photographers
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 then no way he is an extra small
@@feathersx5427 We represent the lollipop guild.
I've been watching UA-cam since the start. I've seen many startups crash and burn. You guy have GOLD. Lia is fucking hilarious, and Joel is the perfect complement. 20 years ago you would have a TV show. Keep doing what your doing, maybe you will get a Netflix show, or maybe you will become UA-cam famous. You guy bleed talent, and are top notch entertainment. Please keep it up, you have gold here.
You guys are so close you should check out the mall called "American Dream" (it's a huge place be ready to walk). I think it's in Rutherford, New jersey. It's got a Water Park, Amusement Park, Sking, Shopping, Restaurants and probably some other things I missed inside of it. It's also quite Lovely inside too, I think you'd enjoy the experience.
Amazing complex! It's in the Meadowlands (East Rutherford), just outside NYC. Very close to Orange, where they stayed when they visited New York together.
Go to west Philly or north Philly. You will get a real idea of this city
Have you ever done any videos from New York City?
Go to the king of Prussia mall!
Should have known Joel was a fellow Libran with those Venus dimples.
Philadelphians will love if you say it doesn’t get the spotlight like NY.
need a trip to dallas tx not in summer too hot oct or nov better
Don’t forget to go to the redding terminal market …. You guys walked passed it in the beginning of the video …… make sure you go there hungry
They went there a couple times.
Watch the other Philly videos.
When the retail clerk said jawns, I thought he was talking about the bathrooms.
P.S Did you find Primark? Unfortunately, they are only in the east coast, mostly in the new England states.
Also, through Joel and Lia, you gave New Balance free advertising both with the shoes and Joel was wearing the shirt.
Tomato pie is very southern. It's pie crust filled with tomatoes Mayo and cheese and it's baked. It's delicious
That is not "tomato pie" in Philadelphia. Think of a pizza without the cheese.
@@JJfromPhilly67 exactly
When East Coast people call a pizza a pie. It's like they have never seen a pie before, the poor dears LOL
@@Jack_Stafford
No. Sorry.... your comment couldn't be more wrong.
@@Jack_Stafford I have lived in New Jersey and Pennsylvania all my life and the first time I ever heard the term "pizza pie" was on the Flintstones and never heard it from anyone in the Philadelphia and New York metro areas. Tomato Pie in terms of sauce on the crust alone with no cheese is a different story.
Great to see you both in Philly. I think you noth would enoy living there. Geographically, you are 9o mins from NYC and DC. Philly is very undrrated. Lot's a great hospitals too.
I am a new subscriber and OMG I love you two! I want to be your friend. Can we be besties? Thanks for the laughs. You are hilarious!
What is a jumper?
I think your experience of colder weather in Philly vs. Toronto is strictly a matter of bad timing. It's also interesting how hot Philly can get in August and early September. You'll come to know why air conditioning is so common in the U.S.
If you want COLD in the lower 48, try going to North Dakota in February! :) "Cold" in Philly is for wimps!
Minnesota responds "challenge accepted!"
The Urban Outfitters HQ is on the Navy Yard campus. It's too bad it was too cold to go out to the suburbs. Anthropologie and Terrain are steps away from the Devon Train station. Sorry about the graffiti and the boarded windows. We had a lot of demonstrations and protests.
If you guys like Philly--you will LOVE Chicago. Heart of the Midwest!
