I lived at 42nd and Walnut, next to TRoP for 6 months, back around 95. I saw 2 people get shot, one house just get unloaded into and 2 cars get stolen, while sitting on my 4rth floor balcony. That neighborhood has come a long way.

Yup the university has gone a long way in their gentrification efforts. Have you been there recently? The area from about 37th to about 42nd has been totally transformed. Bobby Flay restaurant, Chipotle, Luxury apartments, Luxury Movie Theater. Its not a bad place to go to school and the ability to walk into center city is golden.

I haven't been, but I've heard it's great now. I worked in Old City at the time and rode a bike back and forth a lot. It's really an easy city to get around in. I usually end up somewhere between Old City and Fishtown, when I go down now. I can't believe how nice Fishtown is getting.

Tune in next week when our hosts explain why every person who attended an ACC school should be set on fire.

don't forget the Ivy League *******s

In fairness, we identified 5 cities we liked.

I would also like to say that Des Moines, Iowa, is a very nice place. And Columbus OH is probably one of the nicest cities in North America that nobody has been to.

I love San Diego. It's a shame you have to make $750,000 a year to live there.

I actually really like LA too.

And you know what my favorite city in Texas is? Ft. Worth. I was shocked too.

I suspect you went to a different Columbus, Ohio than I did.

Columbus is one of those cities that is nice if you don't actually go into the city. It has great suburbs though.

you went to the wrong parts

For instance, most people don't know that Columbus has America's finest chef. Not New York, not Chicago.

the women in columbus are smokin' hot too.

He works at an Applebees on I-70.

I think you were in Toledo and someone just told you it was Columbus.

I kid. Columbus seems okay. I have a cousin who is a pharmacist there. He seems to like it, though he is kind of a douchebag so what does he know?

Re: How scared should I be to live in Philly?

I go to VCU but I visit DU a lot due to athletics and such. The campus is quite nice and honestly DU students are pretty nice. I will say they are very intense about basketball there(Its a small arena though. Like 2500). I've walked through Philly with Redskin stuff on. I might get a few giggles occasionally but nothing really bad.
