Design companies: Meh but the ones worth noting (either more well-known or larger agencies) might be Happy Cog, Red Tettemer, G2 (Grey), Brownstein, Razorfish, etc.
As far as where to live:
- Northern Liberties is great. A shitload of bars, restaurants, etc -- Philly's Brooklyn-like section essentially (or the closest thing to it). Also where I hang out when I go to Philly (I live in the burbs now). Stay away from Finnigans Wake though.
- Fishtown: If you want to live on the cheap but be really close to Northern Libs.
- Rittenhouse Square: If you're rich.
- Manayunk: Cool and lots of stuff going on but more college frat type shit.Old City, Art Museum...meh not like how it used to be. I used to live in the Art Museum back in the day, it does get pretty dangerous around there nowadays and not much as far as bars/restaurants go.
South Philly: If you want to live on the cheap cheap but can deal with folks double parking.

Huge population, very few design companies.

Few design companies in that it lacks talent, market or culture (or some combo)?
