Due to inexplicable issues I've had with the website and the fact that you'll get the new Key Card immediately, this is what I do. They require you put maybe $5 on the card, but its there for you to use once the transaction is done.

I was told that, when they were first setting up the current day Electric Factory/ Franklin Music Hall space, the sound booth had been in the back as per usual, and once everything was optimized for the space, the owner decided they'd visually prefer the booth up front, but never reworked the sound booth, because they had no idea what they were doing.
It feels insane for that story to still be the case, for a venue to change hands and still, no one looks into the weird booth placement and notoriously terrible sound, so I can't say what goes on there currently. I'm not sure I've been there in almost 10 years myself.

Not entirely true, there's some really nice houses in Drexel Hill the further west you go. You can find plenty of houses just ten minutes away from 69th that do not feel as though you live next to 69th.

It used to be that Wednesday evenings were open to the public for a small fee, not sure if that same schedule still holds. It was suggested that you show up with as much info you can find on your own beforehand.

Came to say this about the 46th and Market Aldi. It's right at the station, you really don't have to walk anywhere and it IS that much cheaper. Online selections available on instacart aren't gonna compare to what's in stock. Even if you're supplementing what you can't find at Aldi with a quick stop elsewhere or a delivery service, shopping in person at Aldi is worth it.

This is wild info. The irony of a company that makes chocolate now focusing its efforts on veterinary care is hilarious.
"If the dog eats our chocolate, it's gonna need our medical services!"

On both fronts, I'd swear it has to be the G.

No, because people need a place to live. I ain't out here in a sprawling mansion. There were better ways kick off restoration of this course while preserving wild habitats.
Initially, the trees were taken down before a plan could be approved, almost as if the developers expected to be granted a deal simply because they started work. It was egregious deforestation before a plan could be finalized. That's the rub.
Too, lot of the oldest growth was along the roads where they wouldn't impact play. I'd like to think you'd want trees to prevent taking out a windshield.
I grew up in the area and have always been around this green space. Even as a functional golf course, it had never looked as barren and lifeless as it does currently. I understand and appreciate wanting to revive this historic course, but I'm wary of developers' intentions. Glad to see a larger environmental/ educational component with the plans listed in this article.

Yeah, I guess it's something, but it'll take decades to even come close to the canopy that once was. The wildlife's already had to move on.

There's literally about 10+ golf courses within a ten mile radius of this park. The loss of trees, most of them still felled across the course that hasn't been touched otherwise, is a bummer.

You can press one of the emergency buttons on the the El, located next to every fold up single seat by the exits, and tell the conductor whats going on. Take note of your car number to make it easier.
I've done this before. The conductor called transit police to meet us at our next stop where they helped the person off the train - who was having a really bad time on whatever they'd just taken and began to bleed - and got them the help they needed in that moment.

Yo, there is WAY too much construction in Northern Liberties/ Callowhill for Spring Garden to not be on this list. I know it's MFL, I understand it's sandwiched between 95, but it's necessary.
