That is so cool! I discovered it around the time I got married. Loved it. Ever since I ask for a case of GM for my birthday.

I know, right? I even asked for the cost of having to get my medical records as I’d been a patient since 2002, but the woman in the front desk didn’t even react. I just moved on; sadly, medical discrimination still a thing, and I doubt they care what a Latinx has to say. I had been happy with the care until they moved to 38th…when they were at 34th everything was fine! Both dentists and hygienists left after the move (I know because one of them started working for my new dentist)

I might be the only nay, but I recommend against penn dental (the actual practice, not the dental school). The hygienists are amazing, but even with the $$$ Penn dental insurance, there was a two year period that I didn’t get to see a single dentist. The dentists were always running about an hour late (even at 7:45am), so there was no rhyme or reason for the constant lateness. No one ever thought to ask why I hadn’t been seen for two years by a dentist (they didn’t have 5 minutes for me even after cleanings)…so I decided to get another (cheaper) insurance and move out of that. I’ve been happy ever since, but again, this doesn’t help OP as I am talking about insurance. I would also check on Nextdoor as I’ve seen a couple of dental students offering their services as well; focusing on those that cannot pay. If I can find the one I saw a couple of weeks ago, I’ll send a message.

Same here. I for weeks I begged to anyone listening to please ask a construction company, to not force children (going to a k-8 school) to go through an active construction zone. Took about 2 weeks for anyone to do anything…but the construction guys are still parking their trucks blocking the crosswalks completely. Once they left about 12” for kids, strollers and handicapped to get through (the other sidewalk was closed off for construction)! Near my work that company insists on blocking the crosswalk to my building, plus both of our exits are constantly blocked off by construction vehicles, equipment and materials (both for new and waste). They’ve expanded well beyond their “110 feet” of sidewalk, according to the permit, it’s disgusting (because of the waste) and dangerous (because peds and cyclists don’t know what to do). The city would make so much money going around and fining them; but no one thinks it’s wrong until someone dies.

No, just park legally. A few spots were available a block away.

Wait, are they actually roaming Fairmount now? Why don’t they start with all the vehicles parked on the sidewalk, on the way to school? (Seriously, there’s one restoration company that is doing that, in a narrow street, half a block from an elementary school, when various sidewalks are closed due to the PWD project)

Yeah, I don’t know if they have the patience to wait 30 seconds for the light to turn. It seems almost mandatory for them to turn their lights on whenever they encounter a red (Only to turn them off right after crossing)!
