Only if that’s the name of an iPhone game they can play while sitting in an idling SUV collecting overtime.

That’s interesting and seems logical given that 1/5 of my friends and neighbors seem to “live” in NJ or elsewhere despite only leaving the city for holidays…

That’s why it drives me nuts when people trot out historical figures to make the point we need more high rises in Queen Village or somewhere similar.

In my neighborhood, there are literally hundreds more individual units than there were 80 years ago. If the population has shrunk, it’s entirely a result of smaller family sizes.

Therefore, historical population data shouldn’t be used as a be all end all to justify overbuilding. There’s a difference between a single house with 2 parents, 4 kids, and grandma; and four separate houses with 1.75 persons each.

It’s tidal below the Art Museum. The depth fluctuates by 5 feet or more twice a day.

It’s deep enough in the center for some pretty big boats to navigate through.

This isn’t meant to be a “hot take” or anything but this is pointless.

No one tries to spend any extended amount of time in the right lane on Market west of Broad because of the buses and livery services. Nothing is going to stop the liveries from stopping and the far left isn’t really any better.

I don’t expect enforcement of any kind but if it WAS enforced, it’s really the kind of subjective call that police could use to single out people for arbitrary reasons. Are there concrete regulations in the statute that delineate when a passing maneuver is ok or at what distance from the intersection it’s ok to enter the right lane for a right turn?

Can’t read the article because of paywall but does it specify which blocks?

Hey, my dad took us to the city on the train too. From much of the suburbs going to Center City it’s clearly the easiest way. I even made an exception in my post for Regional Rail because it’s not a totally unpleasant shitshow like the MFL.

However, that’s not something we ever did if we wanted a quick dinner after school like the thread starter was talking about, rather a special occasion, all day downtown kind of thing (I suspect it would be the same for your family).

OP is saying he’d like to spend $$$ at a local business in the short time available after school and before bedtime but that increased density in that area has turned an easy 15 minute drive into a 10 minute walk+10 minutes on a train platform+20 minutes on the zombie train+10 walk and then do the same thing on the way home. Frankly, if you had kids you’d realize how daunting that is.

That’s business a place like Standard Tap could use midweek but could lose out on because of a lack of comprehensive city planning.

I’m pretty convinced the vast majority of the “just walk/bike/Septa everywhere” posters don’t have kids, take care of elderly relatives, have a physical disability, work a job that requires tools or supplies, regularly need to travel an hour+ long Septa route (excluding RR), have hobbies that require equipment or aren’t close by, etc.

Walk/bike/Septa is a much easier lifestyle if everywhere you want to go is reasonably close to a stop and when you’re young, single, with all the time in the world.

Once you have the sunk costs of a car that you need for any such reason it’s hard to justify spending time, money, and psychic energy on bringing a large family somewhere by Septa.

Or maybe some people really do like to stretch a 25 minute round trip car commute into a 2+ hour odyssey?

Anytime you do present a logical reason for needing or wanting a car, expect a “why don’t you just move to the suburbs?” reply.

What will incentivize a person, their spouse, two kids, and their A-Ma to bike or take public transit to Chinatown to have lunch and then bring home groceries? Nothing.

That’s the clientele Chinatown is losing to places with better parking situations and when business owners say as much, their concerns are disbelieved or shrugged off.

Owner of the pitbull should be charged.

It’s crazy how many workers they have on those projects, how much concrete is used (never mind if it’s an already new sidewalk and you could totally replace one 3’x3’ square and get the same result), and how often they STILL don’t meet the street grade seamlessly.

People complain about the lack of a jobs programs but this clearly is one - for white guys from Jersey.

Report plate stolen. Plus side, ticket isn’t your problem!

Can you still get in that weird ass Liberty Museum on the 4th of July for free?

I’ve nearly had my groceries spoil on what should be a 10 minute drive back from Acme. I end up laughing/crying like a disturbed person by the time I’ve had to double back to where I started.

He was a really good speaker. He opened for John Kerry during a Kerry campaign stop and he did a great job rousing the crowd.

Kerry put everyone to sleep 2 minutes later.

They need to bring back the thing where you bike pumped a ball up a tube and then it fell out the top and bounced on a metal disc.

That was the most memorable exhibit when I was a kid.

I think a lot of the people who regularly park on those blocks are renters in QV who still have out of town addresses on their licenses so they have to park on unpermitted blocks. That area is a shitshow anyway so I can’t get too heated about it.

Laundry is literally THE reason I’ve done some AirBNBs. I don’t have enough clothes to last a week.

Martin’s had one type off fresh kielbasa and one type of smoked when I went last week (I was in the same boat: looking for kielbasa and not wanting to drive).

I bought the fresh stuff - it was good.

According to the Roxborough Rants and Raves post it’s Kiddma LLC. Looks like a couple of millennial Israeli tech bros.

I’ll bet he did.

This happened to my neighbor this year.

He tries to get a formal agreement in place before letting contractors on his land, developers don’t want to sign anything.

Workers just start coming onto his property/roof. Neighbor tells them to get off, workers pretend not to know English. Neighbor calls police, police tell him he should just let them finish the work. Neighbor says not without agreement in place. Workers try to time future trespassing when neighbor’s car isn’t around. Neighbor calls police again several times but eventually they stop showing up.

Everything I drove in the 00’s had RFID keys which made it extremely difficult to get running without an original key. It seems like carmakers have skimped since then.

Was the advice “maybe star bolts would help and if that doesn’t try a new wall”? That what she recommended to me and a friend. In my case it wasn’t necessarily bad advice but a mason could have told me the same thing.

In my friend’s case it was a load bearing wall that essentially needed to be rebuilt.

There was a really sweet letter from his family on the door for a month or so after it closed.

I wish I had taken a photo but the gist was:

“Thank you customers for helping our brother live out his dream of owning a record shop… We all shine on, like the moon, the stars, and the sun.”

Experience with gunshot wounds.

The head at WGBH might earn as much but they are a content powerhouse. WHYY produces Fresh Air and maybe 2-3 other hours of content per week. It’s pathetic.

The only reason why WHYY operates in the black is because all the South Jersey supporters fell into their lap when Chris Christie axed NJN - not due to any management expertise.

My original comment wasn’t even an exaggeration - I’ve sat through two weeks of pledges to hear “Thanks to you, we’ve made $900,000.”

Super, it can all go to one executive.
