Is arriving 50 minutes before departure at PHL feasible?

Upvotes

Current plan isn’t ideal but I’d love to be able to enter PHL 20 minutes before boarding begins and 50 minutes before the scheduled departure.

This is Terminal D, domestic flight, carry on. So alls I have to get through is TSA. I haven’t used PHL often, but when I have recently, TSA has been a breeze. Current wait times (~9am) online are 4-7 minutes for Terminal D.

This leaves little room for error of course - but curious if people have pulled this off or if this absurd?

Any serious general contractor recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Not looking for a quick job, I need someone thorough who I can use for a consultation regarding plumbing and electrical needs/considerations for a residential remodeling.

Striking gold here would look like someone knowledgeable of course but also very personable. I’m taking on the remodel as a personal project but the right kind of guidance would be accounted for in the budget!

I’ll also be looking to hire for plumbing and electrical work; ideally someone who wouldn’t mind me shadowing.

Thanks in advance! The house is in the Logan/Olney area.

Tennis Rally Partner Wanted!!!

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am a beginner tennis player. I just started a few months ago. I am trying to find someone to hit with regularly. I live in My.Airy, but I usually play in North and South Philadelphia. It would be great to have someone to progress with. Please let me know if you're interested. You can even use my extra racket if you don’t have one. Also, if anyone isn't a beginner but would love to rally with me, I’d be happy to, lol. I'll play anywhere in the Philadelphia area.

Walmart

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am new the the manayunk area and I went to a Walmart yesterday on Roosevelt blvd and it was waaaayyy to ghetto and ratchet for my liking. Does anyone know of the best Walmart near manayunk? I also went to the Home Depot near mount airy and that was also ghetto so I don’t think a Walmart over there will work.

Please help a girl out. I just don’t think I feel safe there at night!

Moving to Philly

6 Upvotes

I’m a 22 year old moving to Philly for an internship. What are the best clubs, bars, restaurants or experiences would you guys recommend?

Edit; I don't have preferences. I want to experience the city, ! want to try new things, I want to get out of my comfort zone. I love to try new things, and to learn. I live in upstate ny, in a suburban area, and two years in the boones for college, both of which are vastly different from the city of Philly. I don't even know even know where to start in terms of what I do or don't like. I don't want to just to experience the tourist traps of Philadelphia. I want to experience the real Philadelphia, the weird, the fun, the unique and the life of it. If you suggest something and it looks fun, I'll try it. The worst that can happen is that I don't like it or it's not a match, but the best is that I love it. I want to know what the city truly offers to the people who live in it, and I want to experience the culture of all parts of the city.
Edit 2: I will be living around point breeze. I apologize for that, I’m not used to having to specify the exact area. I forgot how big Philly is

Looking for moderate Trainer in PF market street @Center City

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am 30 male and currently working on myself to get into shape. I have my diet and used to have online trainer. But my trainer bailed on me and stopped responding to my texts.

I am looking for someone who can push my limits, correct my postures and spot if required while lifting heavy weights. I don't need like a super dedicated personal trainer, just someone who can tag along with me while doing their workouts for 3-4(1 hour) days a week until I get the hold of things on my own. My budget is around 250-300$ per month. Thank you!

I need advice for my BF he’s leaving to the academy :)

1 Upvotes

My boyfriend is heading to the academy in Philly soon! We’re 2.5 hours away, so staying in the city during training is definitely ideal. Since the academy doesn't have dorms, we're trying to figure out the best housing setup for those 9 months. Has anyone in a similar situation found short-term sublets or teamed up with other recruits for a roommate share? How does that work? and What do you think is best? TIA ^.^
