These moments are when I really miss free awards

Yeah if I’m out around that time of the afternoon, my guard is up even more than it would be at 2am on a poorly lit block in a sketchy neighborhood

If they have them, I’d suggest ikea. Might be safer to check their online catalog first to make sure, but my go to for quality and affordable kitchen and home supplies is ikea, if they don’t have it I just forfeit to the online shit lol

Ok after seeing this post yesterday I made it a mission to go on a little trolley adventure down Baltimore Ave…holy wow I’m so glad I did today 😋 OP & billy Penn are making more business for them, because they certainly gained a customer in me lol

I got really excited when my block got a restaurant a few months back, then I found out it was kalaya and I can’t afford to eat at the only food place on my block 🙃

I thought rand spear is jawn Morgan’s wario

I wouldn’t exactly call densifying and urbanizing “lack of comprehensive city planning”…if the casualty of this is a more transit- and pedestrian-friendly area, then so be it. You simply can’t live in a city and expect everything to be accessible by car; it’s a give and take

Even conservative nimby people in the suburbs take septa in with their families, my dad is the worst kind of trumpy and he comes from an area that never has nor will ever see a transit system or even Amtrak/greyhound service, but even he always would take my siblings and me into the city via septa instead of driving, while we were very young I might add. If snotty suburban people can take their kids on the train, families in the city certainly can.

The el will get ya there from west…so will the 43 bus and 15 trolley/bus. The first mistake anyone visiting fishtown/NoLibs makes, is not using septa (or even driving to septa and sept-ing the rest of the way).

I tried to start leaving my car at my moms house 20 miles away in the suburbs, and honestly it’s been working great. Luckily I don’t have a job that requires one at the moment (but there’s a chance I do end up getting such a job in the near future so it may change) but living in fishtown and only using septa and sidewalks has been going well thus far.

It would definitely nice to densify business around the neighborhood a little more, it would be nice to not have to either walk 7 blocks or take a 2 minute $2 bus ride every time I had to get groceries or go to a drug store; otherwise I can’t complain and I implore other car owners/users in fishtown to try this if you have the means. You may find it pays off well 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I was thinking of the somewhat recent cbs merger

All I know is there’s a smaller and smaller handful of entertainment and comms companies who control the media market

Not to be that guy, but literally the entire 95 corridor within pa is covered by septa routing, whether the Amtrak line (which carries two septa rail lines) that follows 95, or the plenty of city and suburban bus lines that roughly run along 95(/295) all the way from claymont to Trenton (and then dart Delaware and nj transit continue along said 95 corridor from there)

You most likely could take septa to work, it just might take a little longer

Ironically that’s south park’s parody name for paramount, which is now their parent company

The TT Mexico?

It starts on a day, specifically one during the week, and it ends at a time, maybe morning maybe afternoon. I thought that was pretty clear

From a technical standpoint, I somewhat find your comment ironic, in that the “realistic” part you mentioned is one of the less realistic things you mentioned lol

4 tracks is actually possible in south, if I’m not mistaken they considered it in planning stages and I believe there would be room to expand, especially in the portions between snyder and pattison (pattison is literally a 4 track station, only issue is that the 2 & 3 tracks have a narrow platform that would be a major liability with hoards of drunk eagles fans being herded on and off trains)

Cecil on the other hand would be a bit more difficult to pull off, as it was built as a local station, and thus it (and the entire portion of line between girard and Susquehanna) would need a complete rebuild and realignment, potentially even building demolitions to make way for the wider space needed to support an express station. The only way it might work would be to route all trains to and from the 1 & 4 tracks via the nearest switches to the north and south of cecil, and if I’m not mistaken this would also have to make Susquehanna a stop for expresses too. And this idea would inevitably lead to bottlenecking in both directions, so I think temple will just have to deal with being a local stop lol

The riverline is controlled by giants fans, they only care about the Newark and jersey city light rails…riverline is basically Cinderella

You didn’t realize that the Philadelphia home charter is drafted entirely off of Reddit polls?

Less of the gentrification waking me up with jackhammers at 7am

I think you were just at woodys on a Friday

Throwback to working in an office in the 13th floor of septa (yes of course septa would be the employer to have a 13th floor), pastrami and things was always awesome to have in the basement

I mean a lawsuit is worth at least a year of free fet

Kensington avenue after dark hands down…yes the blvd is the most dangerous road in America, but at least you can stop at the lights (though many don’t lol…), on kenzo Ave you gotta treat every red light or stop sign as a yield, which says so much alone

I was sitting in a bar yesterday and watched 3 buses pass by back to back plastered with that bullshit

Having worked with the fare payment hardware in an internship 5 years ago (when the current equipment was brand new), I can tell you that all of the gates have failsafes for this exact reason. They could easily put the full height vertical turnstiles into all stations, whenever there’s any emergency they all relax and allow free flow through. In the event of a power outage, or a fire alarm activation, this mode is triggered. And anyone can pull the fire alarm should a violent situation occur
