March 31, 2026I've lived here in Philadelphia all of my life and I'm 57 years old and to be honest South Philly never looked as good as it does.me and my daughter father broke up and he sold the house he owned and my daughter was getting ready to to college with a full scholarship so she moved in with him and his wife because the house was closed so I live in SW Philly on SSI and I'm trying my best to get a house or apartment but it's hard. But Center City looks good, They have bikes in all the neighborhoods and everything has changed and that's a good thing. Now only if I can get my house or apartment I'd thank the Lord.
