Moving to Philadelphia: Your guide to relocating to the Philadelphia Metro Area: 62 (USA Moving Guides) - Softcover
Synopsis
So, you’ve made the bold, baffling, and potentially brilliant decision to move to Philadelphia. This is not a glossy brochure designed to sell you on colonial charm, nor is it a generic guide on how to pack dishes. This is the unvarnished, often hilarious, field manual for what it’s actually like to live in the City of Brotherly Love. It’s the instruction manual the city forgot to give you, written for those who need the real story on everything from the aggressive helpfulness of the locals to the mythical efficiency of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. This guide dives headfirst into the specifics that will save your time, money, and sanity.
From decoding the fiercely independent neighborhoods of Philly proper to navigating the great migration to the Main Line suburbs and even crossing the Delaware into New Jersey, this book is your key to finding your place. It provides a survival guide to the city’s institutions—the agony of SEPTA, the shock of the City Wage Tax, and the labyrinth of Pennsylvania’s liquor laws. You'll get a crash course in the local dialect so you can order "wooder" with your hoagie, a deep dive into the legendary food scene beyond the cheesesteak, and an essential primer on navigating the city's rabid sports culture. With chapters covering everything from the quirks of renting a rowhome and buying a trinity house to surviving the school lottery and making friends when you're not from around here, this is your comprehensive companion.
This guide tackles the good, the bad, and the profoundly weird aspects of Philly life with a wit and honesty that reflects the city itself. By the time you’re done, you’ll be prepared for your first encounter with the PPA, your first Wawa run, and your first Mummers Parade. You won’t just be a new resident; you'll be armed with the insider knowledge needed to survive the chaos, embrace the culture, and truly thrive in one of America's most frustratingly wonderful cities.
