Hey!!! If you love finding unique, niche corners of this amazing city, want to share your fun photos from walks, or just want to test how well you know the streets of Philly, please join us at r/WhereInPhilly!

I created r/WhereInPhilly to encourage people to notice all the cool small details around us that often get overlooked. It’s basically geoguessing for Philly :)

I love the vibe in this sub and would appreciate it so much if you guys could check out my new creation and maybe post a photo or two to help get us started.

Thank you! 💜

(Mods, if this kind of post isn’t allowed please let me know and I will take it down)

Hey! I just made a sub called r/WhereInPhilly and thought some people on here might be interested. The idea is to encourage people to look closer at Philly and maybe learn something new about our city! There is so much amazing art and little undiscovered corners of the city that I come across on a daily basis so I was inspired to make the sub.

Excited to see everyone’s niche Philly observations!

(Also sorry if posts like this aren’t allowed, let me know and I will take it down)

Hi guys! Thanks for joining our sub! We are adding a flair for posts that have been solved. Please change the flair on your post to "Solved!" when someone in the comments correctly names the location (as well as responding to the commenter who got it!) If you make a "Quizzing" post and no one is guessing correctly after a while, please provide a hint or two in the comments. if no one guesses after 1 month, we ask that you comment that answer and change the flair to "Solved!"

Hey everyone! I'm u/pnweiner, a founding moderator of r/WhereInPhilly.

In this sub we encourage curiosity about our beautiful city! Whether you are searching for a specific Philly spot and want some Reddit sleuths on your side, or just want to quiz others for fun - we're excited to have you join us!

What to Post:

Photos of Philly that are from a mystery location or somewhat ambiguous. Original photos preferred. If you are posting a photo or screen-cap from elsewhere, please specify the original source.

If your photo includes cross streets and/or business names it doesn’t belong here! C’mon, a google search of these details will probably give you the answer. ONE exception to this: if the photo is old and the businesses or streets have changed/been renamed, feel free to post, but please provide an approximate year in the title.

Community Vibe

We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting. Not sure how it would come up (and it should go without saying), but NO BIGOTS ALLOWED. If we see you, you will be called out and banned. Philly style.

Other than that, there are no hard rules about commenting - we want you to have fun conversations about these places and learn new things!

How to Get Started

1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.

2. If you know the city really well, post a photo to quiz others. If you just visited and can’t remember where you were when you took that photo, post it and ask!

3. If you know someone who would love this community, invite them to join.

4. Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Let’s make r/WhereInPhilly the next fun and educational Philly sub.
