philadelphia real estate: 20 Things to Know Before Moving to Philadelphia
- 10/27/09 07:03 AM
20 Things to Know before Moving to Philadelphia 20. We like to keep a "low pro." Philadelphia is sandwiched right between NYC and DC and there are about 100 million people within a day's drive. The last thing we need is everyone finding out what a great place this is to live, move here, clog up our traffic, jack up our real estate prices and start Manhattan style crowds everywhere. In fact, when the New York Times called us the 6th borough of New York a couple years ago, we collectively lost our minds. Since we recently became the fastest … (3 comments)

I love how you just did it on a trail basis and didn't get everyone with an opinion involved. Way to get the job done MN! 2. I think the value of my real estate just went up! I live on Spruce Street and the 2 lane traffic … (0 comments)

White House spokesperson, Robert Gibbs, just confirmed that Obama backs extending the $8K tax credit for 1st time home buyers that is set to expire NEXT month.

philadelphia real estate: "In This Economy" I should buy a house or the 3 Rules I learned in Biz School.
- 07/08/09 08:20 AM
I can barely have a conversation these days without the words "in this economy" creeping into it. As in "how about this economy", "what are you suppose to do in this economy", or "who is spending money in this economy?" It reminds me of the New York attitude, where "what do you expect, its New York" is an absolutely acceptable response to any complaint one may have about the city. As a Philadelphian who travels to NYC regularly, I do understand the New York attitude and often agree with it. It is the city that never sleeps after all. But I find the pervasive 'in … (0 comments)
