Last year at Porch Fest it was posted up right outside of one of the bigger "venues" blasting that cursed song while a poor band was trying to play

The marauding packs are coming for you!!!!

The guy was tackled and detained by two bystanders until the cops arrived. Total act of heroism imo.

Boston is the only city I've gotten completely turned around in while walking around. The lack of a grid really breaks my sense of direction.

It's a Boston Thing

Summary:

>A recent report found that the Northeastern duo — better known as places where people repeatedly punch police horses and sling racial slurs at athletes — have the highest “informal helping rate” among 12 large metros.

>
>The report relies upon the Current Population Survey, conducted by the Census Bureau. Every other year, our friends at Census add a set of questions about volunteering and civic life to their superstar survey, which underlies such critical statistics as the nation’s unemployment rate.

>
>The question that drew us in, informal helping, asks how often in the past year you and your neighbors did “favors for each other such as house sitting, watching each other’s children, lending tools, and other things to help each other.”

Kind of nuts that this article cherry picks two domestic migrators who moved to Manhattan and Spain. Based on prior years domestic out-migration data, most of the population losses are coming from North, West, and South Philly...i.e., the poorer neighborhoods experiencing social and economic issues.

Just wanted to extend another 'thank you' to all the big brains who thought opening a bunch of casinos in Philadelphia were an economic panacea.

The Philly Metro media market is overwhelmingly suburban and stretches from Allentown to Dover.

How else would the smug suburbanites get their daily dose of Philadelphia drama

Restaurants, hospitals, schools...everything is going to be fucked if the water is compromised

BRING BACK THE BAR

Public sector unions are mostly bad

Okay, this makes sense. I guess my concern is that the city calls the pilot a "success" and then moves on to something else.

I don't really understand why the city is taking a piecemeal, neighborhood level approach to street sweeping. Just do it citywide and rip the bandaid off.

Making up someone up in your head and getting mad at them, a time honored internet tradition

I can hear the systems of oppression wailing in terror at the thought of Helen Gym as mayor.

So fucking stupid. People from the burbs aren't going to transfer in Upper Darby and take the asphyxiation express El to go out to dinner or shopping in Center City. Who is the target market for this line?

I am a big fan of architecture and generally speaking agree with the logic behind historical preservation. But this is dumb and a total waste of money. $1,000,000 from Chubb and all the future maintenance costs out of the Parks and Rec. budget...for what exactly? A single meeting room in Fairmount park? How about we maintain the existing mansions and centennial buildings in the park before adding more operational expenditures to the parks and rec budget?
