Yes, some subreddits won't let you say pandemic. Very silly!

I don't live that far from Bethesda, but where I live is cheaper than Bethesda. I'll have to look at Cherry Hill. My cousin lives near there.

Huh, I hadn't thought about the vibe. I think 8 really need to spend some time in Philly getting a feel for it. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll chuck those neighborhoods out. What's considered the gayborhood in Philly?

Yeah, I think the Mainline might be out of reach for me, but I'll look at the others.
When you say crime is block by block, what do you mean?

I've only visited him overnight once. For a long while, he was sharing an apartment with a bunch of roommates so it just wasn't possible. Just before the panini, I stayed with him and his wife for a few days and we hung out. Mostly in West Philly. It felt too much like the city for me. I'd rather live in the suburbs.
I have actually thought about living near Philly and keeping my job in DC. My current office is about a mile from Union Station. Since Philly is less than 200 miles as the crow flies from the office, I could continue to telework and I'd only have to go to the office 2 days out of every 2 week pay period. I need to think on that.
And you're right. DC traffic is INSANE. I once got stuck on the Beltway because a concert had backed up traffic both ways. It took me 7 hours to get home. I was ready to die in my car.

I used to live near Bethlehem and I went to Rider University, so I used to come into the city occasionally for events. But honestly? Not much more than that. I should do some more research. I'm just not sure where to start.
