Would someone, preferably a native, give me a "guided tour" of Philadelphia? In particular I'd like to know which areas have a lot of gang activity.

A map helps, but getting an inside view is much better. Where are the historical landmarks in relation to everything else? Which restaurant is your favorite? You probably get the idea by now.

Hey, @Stori! I've been living in Philly for a while, so I can totes help you.

PM me with all your specific questions?

Just now got the email on this post. Right now my mind's in no shape to come up with a list of questions; sorry.
  








It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
