    I live in DelCo. I'm originally from Chicago, moved here April 2009 so there is still so much of Philly and it's burbs that I haven't seen. I do like it here. I miss Chicago at times but there are a lot of similar things here so it's not like I moved out of my comfort zone(I miss pizza the most lol). I do like having closer weekend getaway options here like the shore and Poconos for camping. I'm happy with DelCo. I do wish I lived in the city sometimes but then I love having a backyard, driveway and hassle free parking. I work in south Philly near the sports complex so where I live isn't too far. If traffic is good it only takes 20-25 min. I'm close to the Regional Rail so that is nice for trips to Center City.

    Where in DelCo do you live? Me too. I am pretty new to MFP and also to this Philly group.

    I live in Harlyesville (Skippack) MontCo. Nice place, quiet neighbors, good schools. I work in Center City, so I make the trek to Lansdale and take Regional Rail. God Bless the Quiet Car.

    I live in South Philly, near the stadiums. It's a nice area. My boyfriend and I try to walk everywhere we can.

    I live in Northern Liberties. I moved here from Massachusetts to accept a job in the suburbs nearly a year ago.

    I love my neighborhood and living in the city because I can walk everywhere. My section has been fortunate as we've not had any crime yet hit our doorsteps but I am aware that we're not far from the shooting of the driver on Fairmount.

    It's been an interesting transition moving from Mass to Philly. I will say, Philly's residents have been nothing but friendly. In my 5 months living in this neighborhood, I've met more of my neighbors than I did in living 5 years in my old neighborhood in Mass.

    Now to find a decent gym...

    I also live in Delco, which is the burbs just South of Philly. I saw several people who already posted living in my area. Yay! I'm not alone.

    I go to City Fitness on the corner of 2nd and Spring Garden - very reasonable!
