This thread is for anyone in the Philly area who would like to share.
For instance, does Philly still do "baker's dozen" (13-bag or sometimes 12 IIRC) bundles, sealed in plastic (ostensibly to prevent tampering/cutting by people lower on the food chain?)
maybe it was Chicago then I was thinking about. I think I've only gotten dope from both places once and like I said it wasn't right off the street. could've sworn the sealed-bags was a philly thing but guess I'm wrong on that. never saw it in the city or jerz, nor being sold other than in increments of 10 really although occasionally in jersey but it usually was a sign of worse dope. sometimes you would see the blank bags, not even taped, just tied down with a rubber band, that was always an indicator you were either gonna get fire or garbage, nothing in between.
Best stuff is always in Kensington though.I lived in center city Philly for the past few years but never went to Kensington or the badlands to cop. Feel much more secure using a bonafied consistent delivery guy.
I've always heard stuff up there is amazing and a few of my friends who had connects up there have copped me stuff before and it was always top notch. but I always felt unsafe going out there by my self without any connects or really knowing where to go to get what I want. Even my friends who would go out there regularly wouldn't just go and cold cup they use to dial a dealer guys. Not to say Camden is much better than Kensington if at all LOL but I feel safer going to c-town because I don't have to venture into the bad parts of the city to meet my guy and the locations we meet at are pretty low-key it's in and out in just a few seconds when we both roll up in our cars.Best stuff is always in Kensington though.
Long time lurker, first time posting. I lived in Philly for almost 10 years but left in 2012. I loved that city but certain areas was going to swallow me up for sure.
When I left it was the wild west up there. Cops were on the lookout for violence and occasionally would post up under the EL to slow down commerce but that was about the extent of their involvement.
I recently read that the tracks were completely cleaned up and the residents there had to leave. I also remember in my last few years that construction and gentrification had crossed Girard and was moving north. On one hand it didn't seem like the environment was sustainable and on another it seemed like it was never going to be different.
Have certain neighbourhoods changed much in the past 5 years?
(yes or no will do)
