Reply to You know that one bus driver who announces the stops and says “hold on folks!” When he makes turns in Rittenhouse? by

My mothers regional rail line, all the times I have taken it, has a fabulously nice guy who is dressed up seasonally. Think tie with little light up christmas ornaments. I love a good conductor, bus driver, pilot or flight attendant, nurse or really anyone who makes you welcome in a place that is generally an uncomfortable kafkaesque situation

He's a turd.

Sitting in my friends apartment, surrounded by cats and dogs. Her roommate was a sort of serial cat rescuer type. Worked at the station for years as a bartender. Very kind woman.

Lou gets drunk and calls her up and says " I ran over the bar cat can you come over and help scrape her off the sidewalk"

She just broke down crying uncontrollably on the phone, sobbing, she'd rescued that cat years and years ago and it had as good a life a bar cat could have.

He yells "HAH JUST KIDDING!" and hangs up. Totally great prank dude...

This is paid corporate style news work, even if it's true > The Center City District (CCD), Central Philadelphia Development Corporation (CPDC) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF) work together to enhance the vitality and competitiveness of Philadelphia's downtown. In 1991, the business leadership organization CPDC created the CCD business improvement district to deliver daily services with the goal of making Center City clean and safe. This helped transform Center City into a vibrant 24-hour downtown, attractive to businesses, residents, students, shoppers and tourists. In addition, the CCD is responsible for the management of Dilworth, Sister Cities, John F. Collins and Cret Parks, four extraordinary public spaces in the heart of Center City. CCDF, the charitable affiliate of the CCD, was launched in 2016 to support the next generation of public space improvements in Center City Philadelphia.

Reply to comment by in This sounds crazy but as of yesterday, we are less than 5 months away from the PA primary and the winner of the mayoral race will be the 100th mayor of the city of Philadelphia. November is an afterthought. The more candidates that run, the winner may snag it with just a one percent difference. by

If Domb win's I'm filing for asylum in Canada. Cherry Hill.

Kidding aside I think domb is decent.

Reply to Best place to get out of state car registered by

the best place to get it registered is to drive to the DMV head quarters in Harrisburg. they're the opposite of any DMV experience I have ever had. I have been there a lot, they can print titles on site, give you plates, everything, and they're helpful, knowledgeable and courteous..

Just drive out there, then you don't pay any overhead.

Eseentially the auto tags places are just sending those forms in electronically anyways.

I'm just saying, well look I wrote a comment a while ago but shit doesn't even phase me anymore. My first memorable experience in philly (playing a show on w passyunk i forget the name of the bar, JRs?) I got out of the gig van and some dude started screaming he was going to murder his wife for leaving the screen door open.

Or the time I saw an old school style italian beatdown. Two dudes just hammering a guy with a baseball bat right at 9th and Morris.

Or the knife fight outside Michaels Place, but both dudes were so drunk nobody even got hurt. looked like they were humping on the ground.

Or the time I saw an old lady get bricked by teenagers

Or the time I saw a serious road rage on the northeast and a dudes truck flipped

I dunno man it just never ends

you know... like I just can't it's not my fucking problem.
