Will I be safe in Phily at night? -

I am a college student, and I am leaving tonight, for my Thanksgiving break. I will be leaving from 16th st on chesnut, and I am going to the Amtrak station on 30th. I will be walking there from anywhere between 7pm-8pm. i looked online, and it should take about 17-20 min to get there. will i be ok? I don t have enough money for a cab, and i NEED to go home tonight.Do you think I will be ok?

You should be fine, and I have no idea what the other person meant about Chestnut. That area is pretty safe, I ve never had any problem. There is still plenty of foot traffic and all kinds of restaurants open at 7-8 pm. There actually is less open on Market Street by then, but that s still no problem. If you go Market St, you ll pass Trader Joe s on the north at 22nd st, over the bridge and you re there.

Dude Grow a pair. Your in the most heavly traveled policed section of town. Many folks travel From City hall to 30th with out a scratch every day. It s not like A axe killer will chase you down Market st. or something. In Camden? Perhaps.....

Just walk to 15th and Market and take any trolley or the Market-Frankford westbound to 30th Street Station. It only costs $2 for the 3 minute trip.

You should be fine. But, you might want to walk up Market Street instead of Chestnut.
