I voted DC. A friend of mine lives in Philly and does a lot of work around the East Coast. They are from columbia and I am from Charlotte so I think our views may be the same. My friend prefers DC and says it is more livelier. I'm assuming I will feel the same. I have briefly been to both and I didn't see all the hype for either one. But then again I wasn't able to really experience any of them, so when I get the chance who knows what may happen. So we'll see.

Btw, I am starting to think Philly may be a Southern city in disguise because it does get bashed a lot.

You are confused, taking what I said entirely out of context. I was specifically referring to Dc's finest unprovoked, uncalled-for, condemnation of Center City Philadlephia.

I'm not saying that you are stealing my money but what I am saying is that Washington DC has an enormous economic perk being the federal capital of the USA.

Dcs Finest is correct in his/her statement that downtown Washington has more office space than Center City Philadlephia, but what DC's finest failed to mention/realize is WHY Washington DC has more office space than Philadlephia and SF combined.

Are you saying that DC doesn't have distinct neighborhoods?

Rain,

I was only poking fun at you! Don't take this so seriously. Philly is a great city that is often overlooked. I would rather do Philly than NYC anyday and I am from Brooklyn.

I agree, I used to live in Silver Spring, DC is a really nice and unique city.

DC definitely, there's no other city like it. Philly is just another big post-industrial city--a bigger version of Baltimore.
