Do they still have that seasonal beer garden outside on the 30th & Market St side?

Interesting… I’m grandfathered into free Gigabit (my total bill is only $71.99, I pay for Digital Voice and a router, and Gigabit is $0 on my bill) but my speed is only 300/330. My phone could be connected to my 3rd-party repeater though. It’s usually around 300 on the main floor and 50 upstairs (router and everything is in the basement of a two-story rowhome)

Pretty much but it also has “hamburg” on there as my family used to call it. The sauce is an old recipe and the pizza is actually way smaller than you’d think for the price but crispy and tall but doesn’t feel thick. This Sun Article goes into the history a bit

Edited to add: I really want some now, but my family doesn’t even live in Lowell anymore. Guess I’ll have to see if anyone’s throwing a 20-year for LHS class of ‘03!

I don't know about the most expensive, but thinking about the "George's Special" from Lowell House of Pizza (Menu Here) has me close to planning a trip back to Lowell from Philly just to get a pie. It's that good.

That definitely makes sense, thanks!

Oh, do they just dump your compost and leave the empty bucket? I always assumed they would collect the buckets and replace with cleaned ones.

They do this for compost now. The company provides covered 5-gallon plastic buckets for kitchen scraps. I see them on doorsteps in Manayunk often, and have never seen one ripped open or spilled.

Unless LHS has changed dramatically in the past 20 years since I left Lowell, which might be the case- when I was there (class of 03) the hugeness of the school was far from a liability. The state at least used to give a lot of great funding. I was offered a full ride to Phillips Exeter, Bishop Guertin and Lowell Catholic and chose LHS for Show Choir and the Communications Academy. Did a concentration in photography in the CommAcad and have now been a moderately successful commercial photographer for 10+ years.

Again it’s been a long time, but my experience at LHS as a borderline-“gifted” queer white guy with mild ADHD was the best I could’ve hoped for. Coming from Franco and two years at Wang, LHS introduced me to different cultures and religions, and allowed me to safely explore my identity with very few negative experiences.

THANK YOU they sounded so eerie from Manayunk, I thought it was thunder from the outer parts of Ian about to hit us
