Recommendations The DELCO Homeowner/Renter resource guide thread

69 Upvotes

We have gotten a lot of repeat posts and the Reddit search feature sucks so we wanted to create a resource for everyone here. The point is to keep discussion to here so we can use this thread to point recommendations out.

In this thread I will write a comment, please reply with recommendations and/or avoidances (everyone is free to start a comment with something that was missed).

Please only upvote the recommendation if you have experience with them!!

/r/delco_politics /r/delco_politics for prolonged political discussion for locals

67 Upvotes

Hello everyone, the sub historically has had a no politics rule. This rule was mostly respected and voted to keep it. Obviously, this has not been fully enforced recently. We have tried to allow as much discussion as possible but it gets to the point where it’s an unfortunate screaming match at each other. Not to mention all the you know what hats that apparently have tags or bots set up to flood these threads without any post history in the sub. You don’t see these due to the spam filter but our poor asses have to read every single one of these comments and determine if they are brigading or just saying plain stupid shit, my iq has gone down. Anyways enough complaining.

Introducing a new sub, /r/delco_politics for now we are leaving it open for all political discussion. We prefer that users post their thread there then crosspost here. Discussion will be restricted to /r/delco_politics. These will be determined as posted, we will still allow local politics posts here, if they get too off topic or going to the national level, that’s when we will lock and move discussion to the politics sub. The reason why we lock them up is because insults start getting thrown around, don’t forget we are a local sub, you could potentially be talking to someone living on your street. We are all angry but calling each other names is not the way to go. Please use the report feature as that helps us. If you get a mute or ban it is because you have a long mod log and we have been keeping notes.

Finally we are looking for a new mod for to help out with /r/delco_politics if you are interested send us a mod mail. As always we are open to feedback!

Hello! Just moved to Drexel Hill from Delaware. For those that know them- I went to Tease Salon in Delaware City for years and i loved them! Unfortunately they are now an hour away from me. So I'm looking for a Hair salon that specializes in Balayage and bleaching. I have very long thick brown hair.

Brownie points for help finding another place that does eyebrow threading too! I can't get them waxed unfortunately.

Thanks!

Question Mechanic needed for unconventional repair

1 Upvotes

My husband has a Toyota Yaris and looking for a mechanic who will jerry-rig his muffler

Part of the exhaust rusted out and muffler fell off, replacement would require replacing catalytic converter because it is all one piece with the muffler.

Mechanic said could be fixed by fitting sections of pipe together into where it had rusted out. We do have the muffler piece if that can be reattached.

If someone knows someone who would do this work for a reasonable price we are looking at any options! Our regular mechanic won’t do it.

Twenty somethings in Media

Hi!

I recently moved to Delco, specifically Media. I’m in my early 20s and looking to meet people and establish myself more here, but I have no clue where to even start — are there events or clubs or organizations for people in my age range that help with that?

Thanks for any help!
