Thanks for the explanation and like I said, I’d be broke because I’d buy a latte every day, not because you’re trying to get one over on anyone! Best of luck with the new spot

These guys rock. It is $$$ but they clearly have high quality stuff so I treat myself to it sometimes. If I walked past it every day I'd be broke

Drag it somewhere and sink it. It will be a very fancy home for fish, mussels, and other aquatic life.

I would follow Kristen Graham on twitter (@newskag). She is one of the only full time education reporters in the city and gets things before most people

Council continues to stand in the way of Philly ever getting back to where it once stood

Color looks way better than some of the dull white concrete around it.

My understanding is that it was already in pretty steep decline by the time of this 2017 Inquirer article. I think COVID was just the last straw. https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/philadelphia/Franklin-Mercantile-Chess-club.html

Used to be second-oldest chess club in America. So sad. :-/

I have good luck with USPS usually but there was a stretch where they lost the key to the apartment or something (?) and so just left it on the stoop for some bozo to take, which was not cool. I also never put anything valuable in the blue boxes because people steal checks from those.

Dope 👍

Donate to an org like Nationalities Service Center in his honor. In fact OP if you make a $20 donation I'll match it.

Excited to use this to continue to upset people by saying that the stadiums are “downtown”

I didn’t say the government will, I said they should. I have never seen convincing data that handgun ownership (or CCLs) decrease crime, though gun ownership certainly increases risk of death by firearm. Also, why are you making things up about defunding the police when the current budget is the highest its ever been?

Yes, most gun crime uses illegal guns. Nearly all of them started as legal, and then were straw purchased, trafficked or stolen. So while the government needs to step up enforcement of crimes that can catch people carrying illegal firearms. But the original source is the legal market, which ultimately needs to be curbed

That’s an easily fixable thing though, they just need to up frequency. I agree roxborough is different

Ultimately yes, handguns are a scourge on American society. They have no purpose except to kill. But obviously it would take decades to do and there is no political will to actually own up to america’s gun crisis, so I guess the city needs to figure out what it can do.

Ok bro?

Obviously there should be higher frequency for bus routes. Plus, Manayunk has excellent rail access to downtown, it makes sense that parking isn’t as much of a priority.

That makes sense. I would love to see state and federal change to ban/collect/destroy handguns but failing that the city needs to up its efforts. But handguns are so easily to conceal and smuggle that I don’t know how you do that without upping community policing and using more cameras.

Hopefully there was a camera on the business or school. Terrible

More housing is good tho

That's a good point, if you are going to dedicate public space to one sport it should be financially accessible to the surrounding area.
