Current Events > In the next few months I'm moving from the D.C. area to the Philadelphia area

(+) Yeah! (+)

Does anything cool happen around Philadelphia? As far as like, cool conventions, or events or anything like that?

I used to live in West Philly.

Was a s***hole, and I wasn't even in the really bad part.

Comics, video games, pro wrestling, movies, stuff like that..

I think there is a yearly comic-con and there are a couple movie theaters that show obscure foreign releases. There used to be a few wrestling promotions but I'm pretty sure they're all dead. If you have interest in music there are bunch of great venues. Food is pretty good

You know where you are planning on living?

It's definitely a lot simpler than D.C.

phillys a wrestling town, so youll usually have a ppv and nxt comes to the suburbsish area. beyond that its your standard big city stuff. you'll have it, but it will be b rate. But your 2 hours from NYC which will get the bigger conventions. Theres plenty of music venues of various sizes.

also the pizza sucks, hardly any of the taco bells do breakfast, and their is a distinct lack of "real" mexican restaurants.

The funny thing is the suburbs have a ton of authentic Mexican joints

Philly is a pretty nice place. There's a good amount to do and a lot of restaurants and bars to eat at. I'm impartial to Chinatown myself and all the delicious food there.

The Schuylkill Expressway will make you nostalgic for DC traffic, but won't be quite as bad.

People in South Philly really do act like people on Always Sunny

The NXT thing excites me. Also, I visited last week and went to a Mexican restaurant in the city that I was not impressed with. Some other restaurants I visited in the suburbs were good though (not Mexican specifically, just other non chain restaurants). Was hoping to find some good pizza though because I drove by so many Mom and Pop shops.

Are these restaurants, towns, or counties? I'm guessing counties.

Yeah counties. There are good pizza joints around you just have to try them all to find the one you like the best it's not I'm not too picky about pizza though. If you want to try good Mexican try El Limon in Ardmore or Frazer. There used to be a good Mexican place on 40th and Samsom but idk if it's still there

I definitely like Chester County.
