Is Philadelphia Safe

This refers to a question on the Insiders Guide to PHL forum, about whether it is safe to visit the city during a layover....

Is Philadelphia safe?

Really? In a word, yes. If you are going during daylight hours and are headed to any of the historical locations, Center City, Society Hill, Penn's Landing, you’ll be fine.... West Philly is the same.
So basically you're saying:

In West Philadelphia I'll be safe - on the playground to spend most of my day. Chilling out, naxin, ralxin off, coolin off, shootin some b-ball outside of the school. What if a couple of guys who are up to no good? Start making trouble in the neighborhood? I get in one little fight and my mom gets scared and says:

"You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air"
And then she'd send me back to PHL for a flight to LA. ....

Couldn't help it, this FT'er grew up in the 90's
