Yeah TAZ = tow away zone, so going to guess this is a safety related violation, so OP is lucky their car was still there tbh

I don't know how they don't realize that adding later trains will also increase their ridership on EARLIER trains. There have been so many times I've had to drive out of the city somewhere right next to a train station because of no return trip

Absolutely. My allergies to whatever's around here (probably pears bc a shit ton bloom at once) make my skin itchy and blotchy every spring. I personally don't have as many respiratory issues compared to that

Not yet, they're still digging the foundation and have a building to demolish before going vertical

I agree. The only thing the sixers care about though is the value of owning an expensive piece of center city real estate

That's their narrative but the only thing they want to revitalize is their wallet

The sixers don't give a shit about revitalizing anything, they just want valuable real estate and sales. Im sure they suspect people won't want to go to a neighborhood that needs revitalization to go to other arena uses like concerts. Black leaders may have brought it up but there's no way they'd even consider it especially without subsidy

The Basilica is the same way. Barely any windows. Instead there are alcoves for statues where some windows would normally go and filled in window-shaped arches

Remember how he was still able to vote on city council while he was waiting for sentencing? That was really cool. And no one on Council called him out iirc, including those running for Mayor

You don't have to pay for anything to go up as the bar doesn't need reservations. If you do get a drink, the beers are reasonably priced

Reply to comment by ringringmytacobell in Mawn, a BYOB Cambodian noodle house, to open next month in South Philadelphia by ColdJay64
Unironically yeah. He's been against any zoning changes, especially on Point Breeze Ave and Washington Ave. The west side of broad has barely any commercial zoning outside of PB Ave, some corners, and a little on Snyder and W Passyunk. Unless the zoning changes, the west side doesn't have many spaces for commercial to exist in the first place

There's barely anything zoned commercial outside of Point Breeze Ave unfortunately and most corner store spaces have been converted to residential. It sucks for the neighborhood and I always had to leave for anything when I lived there, but it's largely an arbitrary zoning issue

Reply to [Inquirer] Census data shows Philadelphia population drop in 2022 by _crapitalism
These are almost always wrong. Google Philadelphia population and look at how the graphs decrease every year until the 10 year census when it jumps up. On the other hand past trends have shown Northeast Philly in particular dropping in population precipitously (my guess is a mix between a generation of children moving out at the same time as well as original homeowners starting to die more quickly based on neighborhood development age) which has been dampening the impact of the consistently huge gains in Greater Center City. It's unfortunate that 2020 was a really shitty year for an urban census and we won't have a solid comprehensive picture of the population from 2011-2029
