*blurry monitor moment* Thanks.
I think so too.

Of course, my experience is limited to the Inner Harbor, and a walk back to my hotel/conference site in the badlands, including admonishments by hotel staff NOT to go outside of sight of the front doors after dark.

LOL, that seems to be the way to go. I hear out-of-towers say that all of the time (which is a smart move if you don't know the city). However, some areas outside of The Harbor which are nice include
Fells Point. It sortakinda reminds me of South Street a bit: cool bars, places to eat, hip crowd, etc.
Little Italy is pratically next door to The Harbor. Velleggia's is a great place to eat.

Philadelphia needs to do something like the harbor area. Open plazas, good shopping, decent police presence, couple nice family tourist attractions, open later than 6pm. I've been saying this for a long time, but don't ever expect to see it happen.

I totally agree. It would raise the respect of the city so much, IMO.
