F, 30s: Center City Philadelphia, PA

F is a writer after his 9 to 5, but is a storyteller all the time. He currently lives in Philadelphia.

Coffee: [$3.75] (No description provided)

Lunch: [$7.29] Cheesesteak, fries, and a soda.

Price of daily commute: [$0.00] Free. I walk.

What do you like most about this neighborhood or city?  Livability.

How has the recession affected you? It made me leave a job where I was complacent, and I got a job where I’m rarely bored.

What would you spend your last $5 on? I don’t really know. I feel that I’d find some public transit to a friend or family member’s house.

Why did you choose these 3 items? Well, for the questions asked, they were the most accurate answers I could give.

Thank you for a look Philly, F!  Truly appreciate this perspective. Hope you don’t mind that I stole your image off your website 🙂 – h!
