It’s is worth it. People like to shit on the inquirer but it would a tragedy if it went away.

I believe Penn did, and might still, have some sort of program for staff and faculty to buy houses in the area. I think it was special loans with favorable terms.

Agreed. There should be strict liability when it comes to gun thefts. Probably impossible to get a law like that passed in PA though.

That is my experience. They only seem to ticket based on the two hour time limit. I see tons of cars parked way to close to the intersection all of the time and they seem to do nothing about it.

I have a theory that it has to do with the app they use to scan license plates to determine if you have a permit. I assume that the app automatically tags the time and location for each scan and when it detects a same location over the two hour limit for a tag it prints the ticket with no or little action required by the agent. However, if the agent wants to give a ticket for something like parked to close to the curb they have to take a picture, enter data, etc.

The free library has a whole genealogy department with stuff like old phone books you can look through.

It’s a great story. I think it would make a great coen brothers movie, like Fargo. If the go fund me didn’t get picked up by local and national media they probably would have make a couple of thousand dollars and gotten away with it.

The new location sucks. It’s like they barely even finished the empty space and just stuck in the bar. No character at all, feels like it could be in a strip mall.

I hope this doesn’t become the “toll hole”.

I remember when that guy jumped from balcony to balcony in that building to escape the police. Maybe 20 years ago?

I like both but spinach is good too. Some places cook the rabe too much or it sits around in hot water so much that by the time you get it, it is just a tasteless husk.

This happened to me when I lived around 18th and pine about 1999 or 2000. Two guido looking dudes in a white van pulled up to me on the sidewalk and told me they had these awesome speakers left over from a home theater job. They even had a brochure that had quotes about how good they were and how they retailed for 2k. I think they wanted $200 from me.

I of course declined. I can’t remember the name of the speakers.
