Moving to Norristown related to work. Need advice

I'm relocating from North Carolina to PA for work and my office will be in Collegeville. I don't own a car so I was trying to maximize the benefits of the company shuttle service. The shuttle runs from Norristown Transit Centre to the office and therefore I was looking around areas within walking distance from NYC. The place offers a lot of connectivity options and easy access to the city. Upon checking about the area, got few responses that few areas are not very safe and therefore few people suggested me to look for different places. The people I connected with didn't actually live there, they live in a bit far away places in PA. What's it actually like in Norristown ? And if I choose to go ahead what are the areas that I can try avoiding ? TIA

Edit : I'm also looking at Bridgeport with few apartments still in walking distance to NTC. If any thoughts on that, that'll help as well

Tubing spots

What are the best point to point tubing spots near king of Prussia? I’m look for launch points that are free because I have my own tubes. I just need to know where to launch and get off at. Preferably where there are no crazy parts of the river. Any help would be appreciated!

Local tennis recommendations?

I'm looking for somewhere in or near KOP where I can play tennis. I played growing up, but have been out of the game for a while and am looking for a relaxed environment. Court type doesn't matter to me - any safe, reasonably close spot where I can take lessons and (hopefully) meet people who also want to play recreationally would be great. Bonus points if anyone knows a designated spot where I can practice by myself, as my current housing situation doesn't allow for that!

Before Costco what dept store?

Before Costco moved in King of Prussia, there was a department store in that same location. It was a one off name never heard of before or after. It was different for the time. Instead of taking items off the shelf, you saw what you wanted and then went to a counter and ordered it. Then the workers in the back would place the item on a conveyer belt to bring the item into the show room, like a luggage area at an airport. Anyone remember the name of the store?

Adult activity groups in KOP?

Hi guys, i moved to KOP in February with my friend and I want to make some more friends in the area. I was wondering if there were any clubs / activities people take part in here that are casual. I saw a run club but its on weekdays and I don’t want to cut it too close to work. I’d do anything casually fitness like a club sport and creative stuff too. Just not into the DnD thing.

If anyone is looking to start something…I’m a 24 year old dude who enjoys fitness stuff, art or food. I’d be interested in maybe climbing or hiking club, but if there is interest in tennis or soccer I’d be down too. Please let me know below or DM me!
