I recently moved from New York to Philadelphia. There is a lot less money here, especially at the top end. New York County (Manhattan) has a per capita income of $59k, versus $21k for Philadelphia County. In a way, it's kind of refreshing. Much less glam, more "well-maintained 1980's construction." Nobody walking down the streets with $200 yoga pants, and I don't even know what would be the equivalent here of 5th Ave. in NYC or Michigan Ave. in Chicago. And even if there was something equivalent, I don't know who would go there. New York has bankers, Chicago has traders, San Francisco has internet millionaires and VCs, but Philadelphia is missing that large class of high-spending "working rich."
