Everything is convenient . It is so easy to get around and it always a store close by. The people are friendly and the park is very close to my house.

Philadelphia used to be okay. But over the years it has become a lot more violent and dangerous. Which is part of the reason I value my college education. Its a chance for me to branch and be better.
