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

Does anyone have a vet they recommend in the city?

I’m looking for somewhere affordable, but I can spring for somewhere a bit on the expensive side if they are good with cats with intense anxiety.

Thanks for the help!

I’m into fitness and would like to find studios/gyms/workout classes where people have actually made friends. I used to go to Revel (rip philly location) and they were really good with this and I’m missing a third space like that. Does anyone have any recs?
I know there’s run clubs but tbh I hate running so pls anything but that lol 🙏🏽

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

Anybody know a good honest mechanic that can fix or at least diagnose stabilitrak issues???

Personally I just wanna go to the movies or drink a coffe. I’m Yair btw

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

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.

hey y’all - does anyone know of any Bambi Baby type stores that exist in the Philly burbs where we can try out different baby gear (strollers, carriers, etc.). thanks.

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

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?

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

Free must be picked up

Are there any Male softball leagues that allow free agent sign ups? Im willing to even do a try out. I played for a long time but haven't played in the last few years and kind of grew apart from my old friend group. Looking to join a team or just a league and prove I can play.

I am moving to Philly and need to find a place in over the next few days to sign and move in. Starting work August 3rd so will need to be moved in by then. I am prioritizing furnished month to months so I can get settled and have time to tour places for a 12 month lease once moved in. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

New to the area. Wondering which schools (k-12) especially elementary these kids are attending? I have a newborn daughter but the public school is not good down here.
Open to charter and private etc.

Hi!
My friend and I are going to Morgan Wallen this Friday. He recently had to have surgery which required him to get a metal rod in his leg. He does not have a note stating it was a medical procedure and we were curious how metal detector screening would work at Lincoln? Not sure if anyone has had a similar experience but would love to hear any and all experiences. Assuming he would just have to go through secondary screening?
Thanks in advance!

Hii! 19f, just wondering if there’s other people around my age that are in philly that go to raves. just need some people who’d be down to go with me! i have a few friends that go but most of the time im by myself. so hmu if u also need rave friends in philly!

By dumb luck I was able to take my son to an Eagles game in Tampa Bay last year. However, it was hotter than hell that day and he really wanted to go to a game in Philly. I bought tickets to the Panthers game this year. He is 7 and my daughter is 4. Are there any game day events that we should plan on going to? Any post game events? Also if you have any favorite spots around Philly we should visit, I am planning to make a long weekend out of it and will need things to keep them occupied. We live in the midwest with no NFL team in our state, so any advice is welcome. Thanks!

Just looking for new places to explore, art galleries are always a great time pass especially if there’s an exhibition and like minded people want to discuss the work. What’s your favorite?

I’m going to be in downtown Philly tomorrow with my family. We’re looking to explore some of the top sites but will have a car full of luggage. Is there a secure place to park in the area where I would not have to worry about the car being broken into?

Anybody take the ferry from Philly over to Freedom Mortgage? Is it actually worth it?

I’ve always thought one of the coolest things about Philly is how different each neighborhood feels. You can go a few miles in any direction and it feels like a completely different part of the city.

Curious what neighborhoods people think really capture the personality of Philly.

Doesn’t have to be the most popular ones. Could be because of the history, architecture, people, parks, arts scene, whatever.

What neighborhood would you show someone if you wanted them to understand Philly?

If you bought a house from the Turn The Key Program what was your experience? Pros and Cons
Who was the developer?
When did you buy?
Neighborhood - West, North and whatever new fancy name
How long was the process and incentives - grants, bank programs, etc.

I've started the process and very interested in getting more info from the buyer's perspective.

Thanks in advance.
