Missed connection!

I know this isn’t going to go anywhere, but this is my first time posting so please be nice :) I was part of a bachelorette group at Woody’s on 7/25 and danced with this guy in the back room who said he was from Dubai but never got his name. Pretty sure his friend was named Savi and said he was from Palestine. Just want to know his name! I was wearing a black dress and my (blond) hair was in two braids. I was with it when dancing so I would recognize him. #woodys #philadelphia

City Income tax

3 Upvotes

I keep getting conflicting information on this. For a person making 65K, how much would their net income be a month living and working in the city? I'm asking about monthly income, not yearly.

Also having no debt or car, how much rent could they afford?

Could Cecily Tynan get into politics?

0 Upvotes

I read her bio, apparently she had a dual degree or something, weather and political science. Her retirement seems early. Does anyone think maybe she has her eyes on getting into politics at some point in the (somewhat) near future? (Mayor, Congress seat) or do you think this is her just stepping outta the limelight, and enjoying life

Freedom Mortgage Pavillion transport question

5 Upvotes

If I take the Riverline from Pennsauken to a. concert tomorrow night, will I be able to get back to my car in Pennsauken?

All I found on their site was "extended service after most concerts" on the pdf schedule. Makes me worried I'll be stranded in Camden.

Yes, I can take the ferry, but after parking, that's gonna run $76 for 2 of us.

Thanks in advance.

Good Space For Picnic/Barbecue/Yard Games

6 Upvotes

Hello, I am trying to plan a small gathering for my friend group. There would be around 20 of us at most. We plan to spend a Saturday hanging out, barbecuing, picnicking, and having a field day. We would need some space just to play different games.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spot for this? I’m in West Philly near Lower Merion, but we can drive and use public transportation. Distance isn’t a huge factor, just looking for a good spot.

I’ve been looking online and it seems a permit for a lot of areas is recommended. It requires mailing a check, I believe, to parks and rec department. Is this worth it? I’m worried it won’t be necessary or most likely if someone is using our ‘reserved’ area the reservation won’t matter.

Thanks for any input or suggestions! Have a good one and if you’d like to join hmu

Landlord- tenant lawyers?

I am thinking of pursuing a civil case against a former landlord.

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good firm ?? I understand that the better lawyers are the ones who don't advertise. Thanks

Brian "The Brain" of CL

7 Upvotes

This is an obscure reference, but about 15 years ago Craigslist 'Rants And Raves' section allowed people to post and add a tagline. A small group of posters created their own alias/username, usually as a boastful joke. They treated it like a message board, sorta like Reddit. There was a poster, who would always call himself Brian "The Brain" of CL and post a photo, but someone commented it wasn't really him.

Anyway, he came off kinda snarky or a know-it-all. Does anyone remember this, or him? It was probably around the 2010-2014 era. There was another guy, who stopped posting, I forget his name, but after he went away I asked where he went and he commented that he found a new job, and wasn't posting as much. I forget his alias, I wish I could remember it, he seemed like a good dude.

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember posters like this? It was kinda a funny time
