My husband was just in that neighborhood yesterday as he does work for Temple University. He says it is the land of the living dead.

Even the nice sections in Philly have violent crime, including the area near Univ. of Penn. (Trump’s alma mater). The campuses are kept safe, but a lot of crime happens in the neighborhoods off campus.

I went to a business affair for two days there and was glad to leave!

Just to be clear, adding to my post above: The colleges are great. The college parts of town can be fun. And lots of good people live in every neighborhood throughout Philly.

But, like all cities, the criminals just ruin everything.

Can’t say that w/o being racist: “The population is predominantly black and Hispanic, about 85% black and 7% hispanic, with a sprinkling of others.”
