That's a wise plan. I went to school in west Philly at Drexel U. In my years there I survived 2 attempted car jackings and numerous demands "give me your money" while coming out of the video store. I had my registration tags cut-off half a dozen times, so many I stopped counting. A friend of mine had his car put on blocks and tires stolen outside the pharmacy at 41st and Market while we were inside to get his damn cold medicine. On the rowing team, in 4years, we rowed over 2 dead bodies at different times and had to call the cops after practice.
it's common knowledge that it was safer for men from north Philly to join the army and goto Korea in the 50's than live near Temple University.
You will be tested if you put boots on the ground there.
And the fraternity boys pushed over my snowman on 37th and Baring but I got my rowing team buddies to square that one

. That pissed me off more than anything.
Nowadays, if you drive that truck thru there you'll be called a racist.
