Just looking at the cities around us, Pittsburgh and Washington DC are doing noticeably worse.

Supposedly, housing is holding up here better as well. Philadelphia has always been more stable in that area, and not prone to wild swings. I'm not ignoring the good news. It's a mixed bag. Whatever we have going for us, we're not an island. I take a cautious position and look forward to pleasant surprises.
