Anyone been down there lately? I just hit up Philly on occasion, bout it. I don't even head thru Camden on the way anymore; I kinda feel like I'm cheating on my old city when I'm going over the bridge and I can see my old spots and everything. Ha.
But I'm too far away to tell if anyone's out there, and I still see cops cruising here and there. Is it still hot?
Philly's not very hot unless you hang out at the notorious subway terminal like a dummy. If you're taking the el into the hood, make sure you stash all your shit before you get back to get on the train. Cops will pat you down, run your pockets, and even make you take your shoes off if you look 'suspicious' (white).
Also, holy shit please be aware there's cameras all over the platform there. I always see people stashing shit, smoking crack, shooting up RIGHT there. I know they probably don't give a shit, but the toll taker's booth does have monitors in there and they will call SEPTA police if there's still a long time before the next train comes.
Alright I'm getting too much into something that only a minority of anyone here will benefit from
There's some pretty good shit out there if you know where to look, and just as an aside, the coke dimes in Philly are probably 2-2.5x the size they are in Camden for the same price, no shit. Not gonna say too much but I've grown to kinda prefer Philly as a whole. If even simply for the reason that it's not so bombed-out, abandoned and boarded-up that no one BUT people in the game hang out on the street. You actually have a chance in hell of blending in if you walk the corners on foot in Philly, as opposed to Camden where that'd be ridiculous.
Stay safe!
