Reply to Knife sharpening class by Capable_Okra
I am a woodworker and regularly sharpen chisels on diamond stones but I’ve always struggled with knives.
I picked up this system a couple months ago and I was able to get my knives sharper than I ever have.

Haha “the circus” makes it even more scary. My dad always told me they made paint there.

I always looked forward to passing this place when I was a kid. On the way into the city we’d all search for the giant Sunoco sign by Allegheny and then on the way home in the dark we’d be in wonder at all the steaming pipes and bright lights of the plant. It seemed so mysterious and intimidating.

That sunken grassy island area between the Aramingo/SB 95 on-ramp and the 95 off-ramp looks like shit. It’s just gonna be mud and trash at some point.
I don’t understand why the curbs and sidewalks under 95 had to be so elaborate. I guess they look better than straightforward parking lots like in South Philly, but I’d rather see that time/effort/money go to upkeep of roads or sidewalks of more trafficked areas.
They should have addressed the sidewalks on the river side of Delaware Ave. I used to commute by bike on that side and it was always overgrown and covered in trash and gravel.
On another note what do you think of the SouthBound 95 merge from the aramingo ramp? That curve on 95, right before the center city exits is always a jammed up even when there’s not much traffic. Adding lanes just made it worse

Good point. I drive a ‘93 and if my headlights aren’t on there are also zero interior lights on.

That seems right. It looks like FDR park is on the bottom left so that is Pattinson Ave between The Spectrum and The Vet.

El Paisanos has made it hard for me to eat any other chorizo… I have yet to have any other that compares
