Row home a little under 1100 square feet. Winter it’s been between $150 and $200 each month when it’s been really cold. We keep it set to 69 (nice) when we’re home and 65 when we’re out or asleep. We also have some nice electric space heaters that we use in the living room, bedroom, and our sons room that have helped keep costs low all winter. Thankfully the houses next to ours crank the heat so we only lose a lot of heat through the floor above our porch that isn’t insulated well.

I’ve never wished I had magneto’s powers until I moved here and needed to walk into traffic to push my son in a stroller because 17 jackasses parked in a row on the sidewalk

Its insane that I haven’t been to one area of the city that has decent sidewalks excepts maybe parts of Chestnut Hill. Maddening to try and take my son in a stroller anywhere

I’m spoiled and live right near Bean2Bean. Free delivery to my neighborhood within a few hours of ordering most days. So damn good and so worth the extra few minutes in the morning to boil water and press the button to grind beans on my burr grinder.

Florida makes sense for reasons that are obvious. Alabama doesn’t make sense at first but their Gulf coast is SUPER popular especially for college kids. From what I understand, spring break there is as big or bigger than in FL

we used to go watch eagles games there before Covid and I remember that back room being filled to the brim. Hopefully they can find a silver lining if they need to move and can find a better space

Hopefully the brewery is able to stay or figure out a new, better location. I loved going there when I lived in Roxborough and the beer was always great.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Because yeah. It’s sad but we don’t need to shut the highways down for this.

It’s the one street sweeper the city owns so it needs to complete its orbit.

I feel like they could at least get scrap for it. When my pos car died I got like $100 for the metal and had to do 0 work

I legit don’t know how you can live in a city, some of these people their entire lives of 70+ years and not know how to parallel park. And then they complain when someone “takes their spot”
If you want a driveway move to Cherry Hill like everyone else who’s complaining

Imagine the city towing cars that are legally abandoned!! Someone literally parked their giant trucks bumper (why the hell you need a Ford F6000 in a city is beyond me) over my wife’s bumper and if she had needed to leave she’d have been trapped. It’s buck wild.

I’ve lived in a lot of cities and flown through many more. This is the only place where I’ve seen this happen. I think it’s because people here give 0 fucks when it comes to anything car-related and have a myopic view of everything centered on themselves.
I love this city but god damn. The car culture is so toxic and self-centered it’s incredible. Even on my street it’s a crapshoot if I can
- Find a spot when I get home from work because no one actually backs their car up after parking so there’s tons of half spaces or
- I can barely get out in the mornings because I have 4 inches in front and behind me

Reply to Why Even Bother Recycling by ferrusmannusbannus
I’ve had really good luck with the folks in our neighborhood. The wind can obviously be a huge problem but they people who do our collections almost always pick up stuff if it falls out, are the friendliest people ever, they love talking to our son who thinks they’re the coolest, and are generally great. Obviously there’s tons of different routes but they’re probably one of the most underpaid and overworked groups in the city. We should pull all the cops who are soft striking and not doing jack and use them in sanitation.

Ringpfeil is great. Super quick and professional check up. Biopsy was painless and PA Kristin (I think that was her name) was super professional and so was everyone else in the office. They lean towards cosmetic stuff but I never felt pressured once to try anything.

Second the finger lakes. It’s about 4 hours depending on which part you are going to and a relatively easy drive. There’s so much to do up there that it’ll honestly be hard to decide if it‘a just a few days!

Helping to clean up the city you fucked up by being a dumb asshole seems like a pretty appropriate way to start getting at restorative justice. It’s a way to make reparations for your shitheadedness.
I had to do community service as a kid one time when I did dumb shit. I had to do it at the police garage which was a waste of time because I just learned to dislike the cops more. But if I had to do something in the park I vandalized I guarantee you I’d have a better appreciation for the park.

Yup! Start with “this is not an emergency call” so they can prioritize it.
