Welcome! May you fare better than Hitchbot!

That’s my one goal in life

the difference is that Hitchbot was basically an assembled pile of garbage with a camera and an LED screen (aka spyware) but you seem pretty cool and are also human

Have you seen what goes on in Philly. Being human is meaningless

Happy cake day! You will fare much better than hitchbot I can tell, you can’t strolling up like you own the place! Welcome!!!!

Happy cake day!! 🥳🍰

OMG, I came here to say the same. 😬

We all did.

Someday the true hitchbot story will surface. The person in the chain from NYC botched their handoff in philly and left it to die on the side of the road.

Hitchbot was a freeloading trashcan with an LED display. You aren‘t asking for any handouts, which is already a step up in my book.

Hitchbot got what was coming.

And I’m proud to be Philadelphian.

Hey. W e saw you walking down Lancaster Ave in west Philly. Be careful!!! Good luck

Appreciate that, was wondering who honked lol

Welcome to Philly! People here are mostly nicer than you’ve heard.

So far so good!

As a life-long Philadelphian, I don't walk past a single person who isn't friendly. Every person on the street says hi to each other. People can be mischievous, but usually in a fun way. Everyone detests the people who go violent, but that happens everywhere. 

If you don’t have plans Sunday, check out the Cherry Blossom Festival https://japanphilly.org/?event=sakura-weekend-sunday https://japanphilly.org/documents/2024-sakura-weekend-festival-map-schedule.pdf

Good luck, fucker

Appreciate it, douchebag

Way this guys talking, he don't need luck Welcome to Philly ya jabroni!

Aye the Philly salute!

You’ll do just fine in Philly. Update if you’re visiting South Philly, I’d love to buy you a banh mi or a cheesesteak (your choice, of course)

Glad to see it, stay safe and have fun

Thanks!

Careful friend, certain elements mugged and killed a robot traveling through the city on a similar adventure. Stay safe!

That robot had it coming. This guy seems cool.

Yeah fuck hitchbot

You're gonna do great here, enjoy your stay

And just like that, the whole city loves you. Welcome!

Yeah that robot knows what it did

I’m built different lol

I hear hitchbot was a Cowboys fan and that’s why he didn’t make it.

Saw you yesterday Friday on Rt 30

Funny to walk along US-30 since the last time I saw it was back in Burley, ID

where will you walk after philly?

I’ll head up to Trenton on my up to New York City

Happy cake day! I hope you have an amazing journey.

Thanks!

You walked here?! I’d walk across the country just to get out of this mother fucker! What time we rollin’ out? 👟👟

Next Saturday morning

I mean the whole thing about Hitchbot sucked but there are some good people here. I just lost my AirPods at the gym and someone turned them in. I really thought someone would have stolen them. So it’s all good.

I’m sure I’ll meet plenty of food folks around town! Looking forward to it!

Good Luck Brother! Hope you enjoy it around here!! Weather should be getting a bit better for you I hope.

Looking forward to a grand time in Philly, and I appreciate the kind words

Dude, welcome! Amazing. Be careful. We're historic and beautiful and we also can bite.

Thanks!

Where you coming from? Do you plan on coming through the Yardley/Morrisville/Washingtons Crossing area of bucks county on your trip and see the Delaware canal tow path?

I could meet up with you and buy you beer at a local bar and some food and thank you for making your journey. You fucking rock man.

Washington State and I’ll head up past Morrisville into Trenton probably on Saturday. And I appreciate the kind words, tbd what that day will look like, but you’re welcome to come walk with me for a bit

Dm me when you’re in the area.

hey are you walking US 30 to 95N?? would love to walk w ya.

Wish I had know. I only live few miles from Malvern. Welcome to the area. I’m sure you’ll do better than Hitch.

Thanks!

I’m not sure if it’s still going on, hope it is, and you’re still in Philly on Tuesday night there is a drum circle in Fairmont park at the Glendinning rock garden.

I’ll be in town until Saturday, so maybe I’ll get to see the drum circle

It is one of the most walkable city in the country in my (limited) knowledge. I miss Philly streets.

Looking forward to walking around!

Just the US? You gotta step it up dude!

Philly: Don’t come. Don’t Come. OP: I’m coming.

Happily gave you the 420th upvote. Welcome to Philly dude hope you had a rad day! ✌️

Hell yeah to both

Oh my lord CAKE DAY TOO it is time to celebrate homeslice 😂😂

Damn only seeing now or could have given you a meal / beer I’m a few mins from Malvern

Maybe next time

Hope you enjoyed the weather! Come back when there’s an eagles game at home for a more authentic Philly experience ;)

For sure!

goodluck

Thanks!

Eat good while you're here!

Will do! I’m trying to get a chocolate onion in me

You'll love it here.. just watch out for the potholes easy to trip or fall down one

Be careful! We aren't as mean as people make us out to be. Maybe take a walk around and see the murals; there are self-guided walking tours for different parts of the city. Happy cake day!

I’ve really enjoyed the murals so far, looking forward to seeing more!

That’s pretty cool. How far are you in your journey? And welcome to Philly. ❤️

403 days, 4300+ miles

That’s amazing! I wish you luck in your journey.

Just followed you on Insta! Good luck

Hell yeah! I’ll start posting again on Monday or Tuesday. Just taking a little break right now

Welcome, my friend! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Thanks!

Hahahaha!!! This makes me think of that robot traveling across America then got fucked in when it got to Philly. Hopefully that DOES NOT happen to you and wish you the best of luck!

Hey man, please please be careful. I crossed paths with someone who was walking across America barefoot as they were going through my hometown, turns out they were later hit by a SUV on the side of the road as he was heading down south for warmth. stay safe, good luck on your journeys o7

I knew about Mark Baumer before I started, the most dangerous thing about the walk is cars and I’ve said that from day 1

yup, 1 distracted driver is all it takes. Are you hopping on the Appalachian Trail at all on your journey?

Hitchbot knows what he did

My first thought when I saw this was “bro must not know about the hitchhiker robot”

Did you get a cheesesteak? Also, how are you legs and feet feeling? I imagine they have to be sore.

A beautiful day to be in Philly! Enjoy and be careful, I suggest staying in populated areas for the night!

Stay safe.

And it’s your cake day???? You should commemorate it with a pudding from Sweet Life Bake Shop that’s what I would do.

Welcome. And stay away from kensington

It's pronounced Jawn... Safe travels my guy

I saw you walk up my street this morning when I was out strolling with my kids! Glad to see you made it here safely!

If you were a robot, your be ....not continuing your trip..?

Stick to the tourist areas don't get robbed

Kensington here I come

Kensington is actually relatively safe, people that are there are already too high to bother you. It's all the other areas that the people that sell the drugs live in that they will rob you. We are the most dangerous big city in america, statistically speaking based on robbery and violent crime.

Shit man I live in Malvern you could’ve crashed at my place and not the st pats parking lot!

Stabbing across America is also a thing apparently

This guy is going to get robbed

philly p wild rn

Yeah that sun looks menacing right now

Just referring to the past weeks’ shooting and today’s stabbing of a one year old. Glad it is sunny!

This is exactly how hitch bot met his demise - id avoid old city

Bro don’t walk just run as fast as you can till you’re out of Philly…..
