This main line restaurant Facebook schism may be one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever watched go down on social media. Only thing better may have been the organic pizza and stolen plants posts from years ago on one of t he Fishtown groups.

Thanks! I was eating lots of turkey sausage (i love the Jones brand) but ran out before Christmas and apparently had a brain fart and forgot about it! Lol. Im front loading my protein and eating lots veggies at night. It’s really helping my migraines, and my tummy!

Seeking advice: For various health reasons, I’m trying to eat at least 125g of protein before 5pm (or before dinner). Calories don’t really matter. But even just eating pure meat and a protein shake I struggle to not fill up before I reach this goal. Any suggestions on high protein low bulk food would be appreciated.

Note: I can’t eat gluten and pea and whey protein are also no goes for my tummy.

I guess it depends on what you definition of lively is. All of those places have a downtown with many bars, restaurants, coffee shops, stores (including small business), gyms, salons, and other services. They have parks and other recreation areas. Also good access to regional rail.

I go out to happy hour in Ardmore with friends and have great conversations with others while there. We go out to brunch and chill sipping bloody Marys. You can go to a show at Ardmore music hall. Go see a independent movie at Bryn Mawr movie theater. In summer there’s multiple farmers markets that are always swarming with people. My neighborhood has a block parties a few times a year and all the neighbors come and hang out. At this point in my life this is the liveliness I’m looking for. It may not seem lively if you are 22, but a place like Ardmore is in fact really awesome and full of life.

Exactly. We pay less taxes living in a a bigger nicer house in Haverford Township in Delco (with fantastic municipal services) than we would if we still lived in Fishtown, since my partner was able to change office assignments to outside the city and I earn about half my income outside the city. People on this sub love to downvote the reality that for many people it’s simply cheaper to live in near suburb than in many Philadelphia neighborhoods.

I commented this separately but I figured I also respond to you with my personal experience with the incompetence of CPS in Philly:

Example: my neighbor was a hooker who worked out of the house while her child screamed and banged on her door. I could also here her beat the kid and she let drug addicts stay in the house with her. But according to DHS this was all perfectly acceptable since there was food in the house when they visited. FFS.

I can’t help but think those child abuse numbers are artificially low because of how incredibly incompetent DHS / CPS is in Philadelphia.
