That area of South is totally safe in my opinion and I always find parking between 8th and 7th. Would only see it being an issue on the weekend at night. That being said, anything can happen in philly, people have been shot and killed near Rittenhouse, and there was a shooting further down south a year or two ago, but compared to many other massage parlors that I frequent, This area of south is much safer than all of them. There’s so many police on the street now after that shooting, and all the stupid flash mobs of idiotic teens that have happened in the past.
