Philly Dating

I remember a NYTimes article a while back which caused some commotion. The article basically indicated that Philadelphia, one of the bedrocks of the American republic, was going to become a bedroom community for NYC, kinda like the next Brooklyn. The natives were not amused, understandably. But there’s some truth to the article in the sense that many young New Yorkers who have been squeezed out of the city by gentrification are looking at Philly and digging what they see. The Philly dating scene has improved tremendously – like a lot of cities that are hip but not too expensive there’s a lot of hot upwardly mobile young things who are making the "City of Brotherly Love" an exciting place to be.
