Great!
I don't think it's great. Everyone here knows each other, so your reputation follows you everywhere.
Philadelphia is an amazing city and if you live in a small city near the big crowd you are blessed, because it is very nice to see neighbors and say hello! You must live a very comfortable and happy life
I can't argue with that. I do like my neighbors, I just wished I lived in a bigger city.
anonymity is a blessing too, because sometimes you want to be alone or just do not want to interact with other people that's what is great about big cities that everyone in focussed in its own business and not gossiping about others you are completely right 
That's what I'm looking for. Starting a new life where no one knows who I am. Nobody knows my past, I can just reset my life with a fresh new start in the city.
you never have a dream if the power to make it come true doesn't not come with it, What I mean is you can do with your life what you think is the best for you, Just do not be afraid of changes and go get them!!
I like the way you think! What about you? Do you live in a big city or a small one?
A big city, because first in a big city there are many more things to do, second in a big city there are more opportunities to grow for instance you can take culinary courses or acting classes or anything you want because big cities economies are more profitable and you can make more money meet more people and have the life you want without being spied by neighbors 
Oh wow, you are living my dream life! That's the kind of life I want to live and get out of my small town!
Life is about what you want about what makes you happy so you just need to pack and hit the road, there is always a welcoming smile in every big city
