I usually always just hop out of Philly. I'm from the burbs around it and I've always had such a hard time trying to hitch out. I agree with taking the Chinatown bus or hopping. There's hopouts everywhere around there.
yeah rittenhouse sucked when i was in philly a few weeks back. if yer hangin out at all go all the way down south street to the bars, you can make money and meet kids.
hop outta philly when you leave, i can't see hitching out being at all successful. and the hopout in philly is fucking cake. don't try and make money down in gray's ferry though it's way blown up.
