Yeah I agree. I've been in Philly for awhile now and I rarely feel unsafe. Of course I'm always cautious and use common sense, especially when travelling at night. Even west Philly isn't SO bad. I wouldn't stroll around there at night counting my wad of Benjis, but I have gone shopping and out to eat there and I'm still in one piece.
