and that streetview is NOT cherry-picked. It's a pretty spot on representation of what most of South Philly looks like.
I like Koreatown, but let's not act like it's some urban mecca.
South Philly is a pretty large and diverse place. There are some blocks that I don't enjoy, but there are sections of South Philly which are some of THE BEST urbanity in the entire country.
