Philadelphia has its own licensing rules that go beyond state law: the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections (L+I) issues contractor licenses, permits and trade licenses, so plumbers, electricians and contractors working in the city need an L+I license on top of any state registration.
SEPTA's subway, trolley and bus network covers most of the city, so check whether a business is near a Market-Frankford or Broad Street Line station if you don't drive. Street parking in Center City is limited and enforced by the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
Popular neighborhoods: Center City, Old City, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, South Philly, University City, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, Kensington, Northeast Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Germantown.
