What are the cool parts of the city to check out besides the obvious touristy crap (Penn's Landing, Independence Mall, etc)? I used to live in the burbs in SE Pennsylvania and found trips into Philly to see the Flyers thoroughly depressing when I wandered around the actual city before the game.

Being 16, I can't really talk about the nightlife having not experienced much. I know there are a lot of bars and nightclubs around Old City, a few blocks from all the tourist stuff.

If you wander around the sports complex, there's really nothing to do until you reach the Geno's-Pat's corner, almost a mile away. The complex is pretty seperated from the rest of the city.

I spend more time in the burbs, being that I live there.

Yeah, I gotta give Philly another chance when I go visit the folks around Christmas.

Despite the fact I HATE coming here to work (I am here all summer), I do enjoy my free time here. I can just about always find something interesting to do or explore. They have a decent music scene with some good venues.

I am not sure I would want to live here, but again, I enjoy the social visit.
