That makes me sad to hear. We loved Philly. My wife did her PhD at Penn and we lived in Center City. When we moved there, South of South and West of the Schuylkill were the badlands. There was not a single place one could eat outside. We purchased our home at auction for 100k and put 150K into renovating it. It was an absurdly large 4 story with multiple decks including a rooftop deck. When we left, there were dozens of outdoor eating spots and Philly felt like NYC but with a heart. Almost every evening walking about you would see people you knew. When we moved, we sold our home for a crazy profit.
