I miss when you could be sarcastic on reddit with a reasonable expectation that people would understand.

Do you have a humidifier? They can sometimes deposit a white residue.

Just FYI, I would not count on a court taking judicial notice that a car horn violates a noise limit that is relative to the noise levels in the surrounding area. That is a situation where evidence is probably required.

It’s actually totally fine and probably better than two standard cups. As long as you brew them with the same amount of coffee.

I think Norristown has some good restaurants. I like Emiliano’s Carnitas.

It is enough to live on. I might look in the area south of Passyunk Square near and to the east of Broad Street (Lower Moyamensing). As you get closer to Passyunk Square stuff will get nicer/hipper but also less affordable.

Any reputable cobbler should be fine. There is nothing unique about Frye boots (assuming they are Goodyear welted).

I agree with the caveat that they aren’t going to be as impressed as visitors from the Midwest or something.

Did you really just brag about the Port of Los Angeles? The least efficient port in the entire world?

I would drive to the suburbs. Penn Wynne courts are usually available and not a bad drive but really there are courts all over Lower Merion.
The smaller courts in Center City are busy and if you can’t reliably get on the court right away it is worth an extra 10-15 minute drive.
The courts at FDR are the exception, usually not a bad wait, but not a sure thing at prime hours. Strawberry Mansion is usually free too but not a great area. Fairmount Park-Chamounix courts are always available but bad quality and almost as far as the suburbs. The courts at Allens Ln and Water Tower Park are also decent for availability but even farther from CC than the suburbs.

NY is not that bad of a drive if you can afford parking and avoid certain times of day.
