Live in Sarasota FL grew up in Minneapolis MN. Miss city life and cold weather (believe it or not). Single female no kids 30's. Good town to live in? Looking for a vibrant city - decent wages - good arts scene. Any opions on Philly for me? Thanks :) Kerri Hey

The theme of community in Philly always seems to boil down to this for me: Philly needs us, that's why we we're here. Anyone of us is talented and connected enough to get a cushy job in Silicon Valley or NY at the so called heart of the industry, but if we made that 'strategic' leap we would just be one more self promoting technocrat in a sea of ego and VC capital. Philly gives us something that Google billions can't, a cause. Our city is in the middle of an identity crisis and craves true innovative leadership to lead it into it's next and greatest Renaissance. Will she be forever known as Filthadelphia: a city of murders, corrupt politicians, and loser sports teams? Not if the people highlighted in this post have anything to do with it. They see something at the core of our community that the outside world can't, and they're excited about what they see. They see Philly; the philosophical home of Ben Franklin, the city of the first U.S. University/Zoo/Computer/Hospital etc, the city who's greatest son's and daughters are leveraging emerging technology and philosophies to heal and sculpt a city in limbo.
