anyone on the board from philadelphia? just looking for opinions from the experts on where to live. I'd like a garage (I know, next to impossible in the city) and also not live in the ghetto or near too many old people. I've got to move in 3 weeks, any advice would be great.
also, are there any decent 914 shops in the area? |

Hi,
I grew up in Philadelphia and live about 25 miles east of in Medford, NJ. If your single, living inthe city is the way to go. Art Museum, Olde City, Queens Village, and Society Hill would be the places to move to. If your married and have kids, unless you plan to have your kids in private school, you should live in Mt. Laurel, Medford, Medford Lakes or Marlton. More east is better, less congestion. The wage tax issue is a big issue, in addition to the wage tax, PA state will grab at least 2%. And you can't offset your state bill by the amount you pay the city. Car insurance is terrible in Philadelphia, marginally less in NJ, I would be looking into insurance right now, I moved 10 miles further from Philly and my insurance went down $600/year. I Service Imports worked on my first 914 in the early 80's. I do my own work now. Outside stuff I take to Three Brothers in Medford. Good luck on your move. Feel free to look me up.
