Brother it is a closely guarded secret but if you like i'll take ya there in person.
They have won best in city more than once though, if you want a hint.
Port Richmond is not really bad, its just inner city middle class, and pretty much all white. Mostly Polish. It's just depressing to look at or live in because it is so grey and tight. The narrow streets, row homes, jammed packed streets with parked cars. It just gives you such a closed in feeling.
Friend of mine foolishly brought his pretty californian wife back from the USMC with him when he discharged and bought a house in Port Richmond. She made it instantly clear that he was out of his flipping mind if he thought she was going to live in that dump.
They were back on a plane to Cali within a month and he has not been back since.
Fairmount park is nice, but there
are muggings and stuff there. Same for Penny Pack, which is actually much, much larger (though they recently found some dead slaughtered animals killed there in some kind of bizarre ass ritual). I used to horseback ride back in there all through my 20s when my family had a nice stable of quarter horses. I was actually a pretty decent rider, my sister was a phenomenal rider and rode exclusively bare back. I used to get some pretty good action with the local girls by riding down Bustelton ave or other major thoroughfares on my favorite horse. It's not something you see every day but is still perfectly legal.
Asking a cute girl at a bus stop if she wants a ride home on your horse is a surefire way to make a new friend.
The gun laws here are also permissive, you can get a carry permit in a heart beat, and there are a couple decent ranges, though the closest rifle range is way outside the city and is only 100 yards.
The murder rate is obscene. We have lost 9 cops to criminals in the last 2 years i think. Every night on the news it's murder rape arson death death death.
All in all this is just not a place i would ever reccomend to anyone.
