I recently moved to Philadelphia to start graduate school. I think it’s a pretty nice location. I knew I didn’t want to live in Center City or University City like the other students tend to. I don’t like the idea of living on the 14th floor of some high-rise apartment, or having to parallel park my car five blocks away because that’s as close as I can find a parking place. So, I’m on the outskirts of Philadelphia, away from the crowded urban districts. I’m near the airport.
Of course, when I tell people I’m near the airport, they seem to think I mean a rough proximity. So, in order to explain better how close I am to the landing planes, I’ve taken a quick video on my camera and posted it in the downloads section. For convenience, it’s also linked here.
