Camden sucks. It is literally next door to Philly though right across the Delaware. It's our little sister who whored her self out for crack.

[cialviagra]

Camden is also the home of Campbell's Soup



See, not all of Camden looks ghetto. The HQ of Campbell's is nice.

And of course, there's Rutgers University:



You can see Philly in the background even.

Agreed, that is a SH. Flew into Philly a few years back, plan was to drive to Scranton, staying in some B&Bs along the way. First wanted to visit the historic sites in the downtown area. Upon leaving got a little trapped and ended up going east on 676, then I'm in this city trying to turn around.

Made the first right I could and then in trying to turn around or find a way back to Philly, saw this guy hanging on the corner, who looked at me and pointed where I needed to go. LOL, I really must have looked lost.

That place reminded me of East St. Louis, only more brick structures, but still pretty trashed.

[Effofqueeno]

Bah. It's not East St. Louis bad...

It has a Rutgers campus, the Camden Aquarium, Camden Arts Center, the Camden Waterfront, the Susquehanna Bank Center (formerly Tweeter Center), etc.

There's a lot of attractions in Camden. The Camden Aquarium alone attracts 2 million visitors a year.

Strange that US resembles british 18 century industrial slum so much except the roads is a little wider and the housings maybe a bit bigger.

That street is not representative... there's no expensive cars parked. Seriously.

I remember I posted pictures here from my old neighborhood years ago and all the foreigners commented on how the houses could look so ghetto but the cars in front of them were so nice.

Camden has the USS New Jersey. They shoudl have moved it over to the Independence Seaport Museum though. Maybe then they would have had enough cash to not sink the Olympia next spring

hard to believe that noone will fork the money to save that ship

Oh don't worry, there are large proportions of English cities that also represent British 18th Century slum...take my home city for example.

Finally, a place that sucks worse then Philly.

San Diego. Keep saying that if it makes you feel better.

[drgshmcm]

Truth? You wouldn't know it if it bite you in the ass.

San Diego is routinely ranked as one of if not the best places to live in the country and on a whole lot of other lists. Troll away though, troll away.

[WeissVine]

Isn't it "bit you on the ass"?

[marcusdexz]

Does a nibble count as a bite or is that a bit?

I suspect if Camden is anything like Philly and I could be wrong on this but, the buildings on the left side of the street are late 19th century style but the red brick rowhomes on the right side are WW2 and post-WW2 era housing. I could be wrong but I heard that that style of rowhomes which is exactly the same as the ones that dominate Philly, is WW2 era. The only thing that makes me wonder about it is that these rowhomes completely dominate the city's housing so it makes it seem like the entire city of Philly was rebuilt in the 40's which seems odd.

The housing on the left is probably from around the 1880's(so as you said late 19th Century), though the housing on the right is probably from the 30's rather than the 40's.

[Starichok]

Doesn't sucking worse imply that it is better? Like a double negative thing.

What's the difference between sucking and blowing? I ask you because...
