Reply to comment by TooManyDraculas in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64

It’s a block off of Rittenhouse on very desirable real estate, of course units are going to be expensive. There are a lot of reasonably affordable apartments in the city but you can’t really expect them to be located in the highly desirable and expensive neighborhoods. Spoiler alert: they’re not building project homes in Society Hill or Old City either.

I understand the sentiment and agree that folks of average means deserve to afford a place to live but you can’t expect that place to be in a brand new high rise a block off Rittenhouse.

Reply to You have one day to change something about your neighborhood. You get whatever resources you need, but only 24 hours to complete your project. What do you try to tackle? by RoverTheMonster

Public trash cans in front of convenience stores, corner stores and take out food places. I love our local corner store but there is so much trash that comes from there. Candy wrappers, lottery tickets, etc. A trash can out front would solve a good bit of the litter

Reply to Going to World Cafe Live at night? by puffy-jacket

World Cafe Live is on UPENN’s campus. There is a public parking garage less than half a block from WCL if you can’t get on-street parking. This area is among the safest stretches of street in University City. It’s pretty quiet at night.
