"Go Clubbing Tonite"

This is a big street where you can party. Plenty of nightlife. You have Dave & Busters and a whole handful of different clubs you can go to. You would not want to live in this area, but to go out and have some fun, it's great. Need to be a little careful at night.

"Center City Area"

This is right around the corner from city hall, center city. Not a bad area, you have the Academy of Fine Arts, a couple of Convention Centers. There's not really many places to eat on this street, but you are a walking distance to some restaurants. You also have your street vendors, pick wisely. At this moment there is a lot of construction also being done.

"Not a great place to be"

This area of the city is not very good. It's kind of run down, a lot of noise from the elevated train. I would not be caught here after dark. During the day is a little shady also, be careful. This area was filmed in the movie Rocky, where he lived. That should give you some idea.

"A good place to shop"

This is a major avenue in the Port Richmond section of the city. You have all the places you can ever want to shop. Food store, restaurants, Kmart, toy store, etc. You also have the Aramingo Diner, a great place to eat. You can also hop on a public transportation bus from here. There is not really any type of nightlife here, except shopping & eating.

"Great Place to Walk & Shop"

This is a fantastic street with a lot of character. You can drive down the street, but it would be at a very slow pace at night. Most people are walking. There are many different shops, restaurants, bars and clubs on this street. If you want to go out for a night, South street is where you want to go.

"Not much shopping"

My dad used to live on this street for about 6 years. Small street, very hard to find parking on this street. During the day there alot of kids playing on this street. It's near Torresdale Ave. So your nearby public transportation and there is a WAWA, Mcdonalds and Dunkin Donuts very close that you could walk too.

"Main street in Philly"

I lived on this street in the Northeast section of the city for about two years. There is alot of traffic on this street during the day and night. The only real nightlife you have are alot of different corner bars around. There are many different little pizza shops where you can get hoagies, cheesesteaks or pizza.

"Nice place to Spend Money"

The best place to go on this street is the Roosevelt Mall. It's an outside mall strip that you can walk around, has many different shops. Also nearby the mall there different fast food restaurants. A good amount of traffic in this area. At night you get alot of kids from all around hanging around the mall. Need to be a little careful at night.

"Nice scenic route"

Very quiet. It's nice to drive on this street thru the Fairmount park area. If you take a drive in the early morning, you may even see some deer along this route. Not much to do as far as nightlife or eating out. There is not really any shopping along this route either. Just very scenic.

"A good place too grow up"

I grew up on this street. It's in Bridesburg neighborhood. Mostly a Polish community. There is not any restaurants in the immediate area. You can order from a corner pizza shop, they have good pizza. There is no nightlife, it can be a little noisy during summer nights, kid's playing outside. Great area if you have kids, since there is an elementary school less than a block away. There is also a recreation center & park in the area very close by.
