  • There aren't very many nice places in downtown Philadelphia. This is one of them.
    For this edition of dashboard tours, I drove through downtown Philadelphia. Sadly, it was a cold and dreary and kinda rainy afternoon. The day was Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at about 2 pm
    Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in the country. It was founded in 1682. Here’s the route I chose. It begins on the west side of downtown, winds around the city hall and other government buildings in the heart of the city, and then tracks east through midtown village and Old City. We’ll see an interesting mix of government buildings, historical architecture, some shopping and dining and a few neighborhoods.
    I found Philadelphia to be a really dirty city. The parts I’m showing here are fine, but as you wind your way into different pockets of downtown and the fringes of downtown, things are NOT very clean. 10358. Here’s a quick look at how things look just a 5 minute drive from the downtown area we’re going to see for this driving tour. Most of the perimeters of Philadelphia are certainly not like downtown proper.
    Here’s the rest of a short drive through downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    It's plenty of nice neighbors in Philly... Driving down one part doesn't define us...

    I just love how every one in the comments is saying that there are more nice places than just Downtown Philly and as a Philly native I agree. I love my City. Go Philly!!!

    Philadelphia doesn’t have a “Downtown.” It’s called “Center City.” And it’s no different than any other large city in this country. Good areas and bad areas. And we love it

    Unless you drive through the entire city you cannot judge by one area, it's a very large city

    Philly might be the single most underrated large city in North America. Huge, bustling downtown with some really beautiful architecture. It's really cleaned up the last 10 years and there's so many new developments, eventually it will be the next Chicago or Toronto. Basically a cheaper, mini New York that still has that east coast cutlure to it without being ridiculously expensive

    Lifelong Philadelphian here. People just love to hate on Philly but you 'd be hard pressed to find a better place to be, especially these days. Things that go overlooked in countless other cities are front page national news here. Don't know where the hate comes from but, if you want some damn good food and some of the best beer in the country, and smartest sports fans as well. This is where it's at!

    Center City maybe the the cleanest, but it is not the only nice area in Philadelphia. South Philly, Fishtown and parts of Northeast Philly may not be as sanitized as Center City for sure. However they are safe, vibrant and bustling neighborhoods with a lot to offer.

    This dude labeled it dirty so he could get views. Philly is like any other big city. Has a sprawling downtown, some beautiful historic neighborhoods and some bad ones too. I guess this guy lives in wonderland.

    As a person from Philly, the part where you first started is not center city, it’s west Philly or university city

    Moved away in 2007, and I miss Philly; the food, the people (who really need to think better of themselves, they're really good people), my neighborhood... ah good times.

    Apparently you have never visited the many huge wooded parks. Wissahickon Valley Park bordering on Chestnut hill, Fairmont park, French creek stare park, Deleware Canal Stare park to mention only a few! 🌳
