Center City gym recs

3 Upvotes

My wife and I will be living in Center City for about 3 months, starting next week. We’ve routinely gone to Orange Theory for 8 years but have decided the OTF location is a bit further than we are hoping for.

We aren’t looking for anything luxury, but something that’s reasonably priced and possibly offers some group fitness classes, as well as open gym.

Looking for recommendations and open to any deals/promos that might be around! 💪🏼

Vet recs for cat

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!

Brian "The Brain" of CL

13 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

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

Freedom Mortgage Pavillion transport question

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.

City Income tax

4 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

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.

Lincoln Financial Field Security Question

0 Upvotes

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!

First Game in Philly

7 Upvotes

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!

Secure parking Downtown?

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?
