  • I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia, where drinking in the woods and never leaving are some favorite past times. If you're thinking of moving here, there are some things that you should probably know. Respect the birds, don't get in the way, and get to liking 'twea.

    Legit video, thank you!
    For everyone else: you get the real Philadelphia (Fluffia) accent here, so now you know how we talk. Classic sounds you’ll hear:
    wooder: water
    wooder eyes: water ice aka Italian ice, million times better than a slushee, icee, snow cone, etc., and nothing better on a hot day
    yous: plural of you, use it to address a group of people. Can also say “all yous” or “alla yous”
    shhhtreet: street
    shhhtrick: strict
    sawf pressels: soft pretzels, what we eat every day
    Skookull aka the expressway: Schuykill - the I-76 highway through the area, more traffic than I-95, or the river next to it
    Blue Route: I-476, highway through Delco, gets you from the airport to Conshy
    Conshy, pronounced cunshee: Conshohocken
    Delco: Delaware County, an attitude
    scrapple: pork breakfast product, eaten with breakfast syrup or ketchup. What’s in it? Everything but the squeal
    tau: towel
    telly pole: telephone pole
    yo: how to address someone, get their attention, a greeting, or just a display of emotion
    jawn: anything

      @@stasandco I am considering moving to Philly from Miami with some freinds in the spring of 2024. Was originally planning to wait until 2027 to leave my beloved 305. But DeSatin and his GOP lackies in the legislature are forcing the issue. Add in the increasing climate risks, spiking housing costs,
      insurance, and you have yourself an untenable situation. Rent is now averging 2,800$ per month. Property insurance is now over $500 per month. Sea level rise is already compromising the cities drainage system. They are at least half a dozen damaging flash floods in an given year. Extreme heat is becoming chronic. Anytime the power goes out during a summer storm it can be dangerous with heat indicies of 100-110f being common. It used to be that Miami was a safe blue bubble in a red state. But the state has now overrided the city at every turn. Want to help undocumented immigrants integrate by giving them an ID? Overruled... Want to help fight addiction with safe injection site's? Overruled... Want to protect the environment banning the use of fertilizers during the rainy season? Overruled... Want to reduce gun violence by banning assault weapons high capacity clips? Overruled... The list goes on and on, climate change was always going to force me to leave Miami, Just didn't it want to be so soon... On the positive side, Philly does looking promising as a new home.

      MAC machine: ATM. Was originally called Money Access Card by the bank (Girard Bank?) that introduced it here in the 80s, and the name stuck. No one else will understand that phrase. Usage (perfectly done in the video): gotta hit the MAC machine
      Also, nicely done on the PA inspection stickers in the windshield of the guy in traffic on the Schuylkill. As I said: legit video

    Commenting to boost you for the algorithm. For your context, I've been looking up NYC vlogs, but no..... NYC's too expensive, so Philly is another cool option that's been getting more hype compared to the other cities in the North East. This video, at the time of this comment, is your most popular video. I feel like I don't see as many Philly vloggers or content creators as much which is why it's so cool to watch people make content on this city. I could see you making like 1-2 more videos about Philly to reel people in and explore a large width of content on your channel. Keep up the great work!

    I grew up in South Jersey but always went to Philly for Concerts, Theater, Art Movies and Sports. We had a family business there. When I got married 1999 we moved to the heart of Center City and I will never move!! I'm divorced now but I live in Washington Square where I can walk everywhere. Theaters and Museums are fantastic. All Sports venues a 15 minute Train Ride away. It has so many flavors. Chinatown and South Philly. Irish and Polish areas. Fishtown and Passyunk Avenue are like SOHO and The Village in NYC. And NYC is a short distance to boot. BEST CITY!!!

    Hi, my mom and my grandparents are from the Reading area so I'm somewhat familiar with the high quality of PA's hoagies. I was wondering, are they generally available at most pizza places? Or where do you get them? I grew up in Boston (although I haven't lived there forever) and when I was young all pizza places sold generally excellent subs, but most of those places have closed. What's the hoagie situation in Philly nowadays?

    I felt safer living in center city than in northeast philly (margaret st) which was like some white trash mecca. Tips: hope ya don't mind walking alot, parking sucks. Buy a bike (with bike lock) go basically anywhere in city u want. Watch ur back if walking alone at night. If someone asked u for change be polite and move on. Some people get hostile. Overall a fun experience (5yr resident) you'll meet people from every corner of the world.

    Philly is a big and diverse city. It doesn't go so far as to have separate boroughs, but it has many distinct communities/neighborhoods. The suburbs are also distinct. In each the residents dress, eat and act differently. The only thing they have in common is the arrogant notion that their isolated point of view represents all of Philly. And--NO--there is no "Philly Accent"; that's Boston.

    Philly is dirty, we have many homesless people sadly, we have KENSINGTON (ZOMBIELANND) very close to fishtown and northern liberties places with extramely high rent thaay makke outsiders believe iss a good place to live. Traffic is wild, most people are always mad, i like the public transportation but some do drugs inside the train but what can you do you? still need to make it to work. Apartments are like shoe boxes and they are reallly expensive 1300 one room if you find something for less is prrobable near an insufferable place meaning dirtier, loud music all the time, drugs etc ... Many good restaurants. Schools sucks. if you want to have some peace and quiet you need a car to go for an hour drive outside philly. But i like how you can find a job everywhere.
