Center City is from Vine Street to the North, South Street to the South, the Delaware River to the East and the Schuylkill River to the west. There are very defined boundaries of Center City. The City defines "downtown" by the Center City Boundaries and would such look like this
However, most residents consider the downtown boundaries to be such however.
Spring Garden to the North, South Street to the South. the Delaware River to the East and to the edge of University City to the West. Most residents include some of Lower North Philadelphia and most of University City into the definition of "downtown." So Philly's downtown of it's residents would look as such
So, where on Connecticut Ave is the visual boundary of downtown? Have you ever driven north from Connecticut Ave. and K street up Connecticut Ave to this point? Where does the development break to show a boundary?
I would say once you get North of Dupont Circle on Connecticut, the development feels much less "downtown-ish", there are def mid rise apartments up to Rock Creek Park, but it feels more neighborhood to me.
Maybe I dont completely understand what you mean by "downtown".
I know you aren't putting Philadelphia up against Chocolate City trying to compare Soul!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me?
Philadelphia needs to stick to Irish Pubs and leave soul to Chocolate City.
DC's Finest just posted a video of a whole bunch of people that did not look too "chocolatey" to me. Besides, white people have sooooul, too. At least in Philly anyway.

Not to mention Philly has a large proporation of the population that is AA; am nearly postivie (99.9%) have more AAs than does the district.
I am caucasion but would suspect Philly would be a city considered to have soul; just looking to the influence and significance of the Philly R&B music scene would suggest this. Also Coltrane alone to me is pretty good.
Lastly as this is DT discussion there are more AAs and a higher percetage among CC residents than DT DC (also more asians; DC in the DT is actualyy more caucasion; though is the top race in both by a considerable margin)
And let's not forget the day that thousands of Philadelphians invaded DC on Opening Day and injected some life into your soul-less excuse of a baseball stadium. I made sure to wear my Phillies cap to work that day. All you heard on the Metro that afternoon was "LET'S GO PHILLIES!" LOL.
