“It was just mayhem,” he said. “I’m never going to get this vision out of my mind that I watched on the video tape.”

Exactly....anyone at a Philly bar anywhere in Philadelphia at 2 am is beyond a fool. In fact most people I know who live outside of Phila and have to work there say you never linger in Philly but get out of there as soon as your work day is through.

I had to go to a Seminar for three days in the city.....was warned to leave the Hotel and head out immediately.

The fight started over provolone versus cheeze whiz.

At least a hockey game didn’t break out.

Most dangerous street in Philadelphia

Kensington Philadelphia Drug & Crime Problems

Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem. The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas.1 Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015.2 A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensington.

Oh, and Tubby's grilled steak and cheese is as good as or better than anything out of Philly, and is only a mile away. Fight me.

This sort of thing is only supposed to happen after a Flyers-Bruins playoff game.

No, you wouldn’t. Those two Steak joints are not even in the top ten Philly cheese steaks. They are tourist traps... Thanks Rocky :(

Philly always had crime, but now it’s a war zone.
