They're off last year's pace of one per day.

My brother work in the OR at ahospital in Philly two days a week..he was there on new years day talking to one of the surgeons. at 12:00 am on new years day there were fireworks going off in front of the hospital. At 12:03 a kid stumbled in the front door with three bullet wounds to his chest. He was pronounced dead at 12:05 Surgeon said alright!! We made it two minutes longer than we did before the first murder last year.. 2008 is gonna be a good year!!

Phillygets a bad rap for a few really bad areas...it's a beautiful city for the most part.

 

Nothing about Philthy is even remotely nice.... they did the city cleanup this year.... what was that.... 7 million pounds of trash picked up off of the streets... and it made no difference.... it looks just as awful as it did the day before...

 

matter of opinion I guess. to me it's still a beautiful historic city. just look at the buildings and the architecture. I could care less about paper in the streets.

 

you could care less about the trash in the streets until your 7 y/o picks up a syringe.... then your focus changes

 

Some parts are nice like around the Liberty Bell, but there is always trash laying around....and that's just the beggars in the streets...j/k.

 

That's disappointing, as a historical city I've always wanted to go there. Maybe not now
