And so I am in Philadelphia now. Arrived Tuesday morning and immediately dove into apartment hunting so I don't have to crowd Phyllis and Bill's apartment for very long. Seems that all the big places - those with pool + fitness ctr + doorman + you name it - have waiting lists. Apartment listings mostly want 1 year leases, minimum, which is longer than I want. So I've been working with the Craiglist: To Sublet file and Realty firms.
I've located a very small but adequate place in the middle of Society Hill, the leafy old Colonial District of Philadelphia. There is a small landscaped park just next door, and buses run right in front for easy connection to everywhere. They have to do their background check, but I sure hope I can get in today, before the start of the Labor Day Weekend.
Gotta say that it feels very good to have found a place. It takes the pressure off, on that score at least. Now I can begin to look for the basic equipment I need - like a bed, maybe.
