I hear you on Phili. I did go there once to visit the historic sites. It was ok. We then took a city bus to go to Geno’s Cheese Steaks. Pretty scary and a total dump, but the bus driver was great and wouldn’t even accept a tip for helping us out so much.
But yea - probably safer in most of Syria than most of Philadelphia.
If it's not on CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, it never happened.
Those "professionals" must work out of another planet.
