We would get calls from out-of-town parents asking if the water was safe to drink. We told them Philly had good tap water and they could find the reports online if they wanted to check.

OP, Anne Rice might have content you've said you don't want to engage with. I'd read descriptions or download free samples from Kindle to see. She has lots of books so you may or may not find something you'd like.

I'm just not in town as much. I would do things in town because I was at the office, and it was an easier "flow" to go shopping at lunch or after work. Now I'm at home so I do more stuff around here or shop online. Going to center city or west Philly just seems a heavier lift now.

Yes, I touched it when it was in Independence Hall.

Yeah, the tone of the spokesperson made me a bit scared for a second, but once it made the papers I don't think they will do anything against him. Probably just warn others not to do that in the future.
Do bus drivers have communications with police from the buses? Can they call for help?

That's a nice message at the end as well.

I didn't get this. When was it sent out? I get other texts from PECO so they have my contact info.

Reply to HVAC maintenance plans by economist_
That seems high, but you'd have to say more about what's included. Is labor included? What about parts? Do you get "priority" for emergency calls? I would call around and see what people are offering. I just called the places that I saw coming to my neighbors' houses.
Often times the initial visit is the hook to get you to get an annual Maintainance plan.

Reply to comment by Artemisa23 in $600 Mortgage Payment Increase??? by NachoDog1000
We'd heard too many horror stories of insurance and property taxes not being paid correctly. We also used to get a small discount for paying our property taxes "early" so we never did escrow. So far it's been fine. The insurance is paid online at the same time every year and they send us a tax bill which we also pay online. That was there is no "slush" and we can use the extra money for other things.

It was found destroyed on a street in Philly but I thought they found the perps were from New Jersey. Reading articles it doesn't say. If I smeared New Jersey I'm sorry...

Reply to comment by SeaPoem717 in Two Philly developers think Atlantic City can look more like Amsterdam with the help of a $3 billion housing development by Dryheavemorning
It was! I saw the Supremes and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons from my Dad's shoulders at like five years old. Bike rides on the boardwalk at sunrise. the Steel Pier and the diving horse. Hot Belgian Waffles with ice cream after a day at the beach. It was a magical place.
Now it is sad but it might be different.

I hear them in NW but they never visit my street! It's one the weird "the street is two way but so narrow people have to take turns" streets. I want a cone so bad I have to go to Rita's.
