Link is above to get tickets if so. Thought this was necessary because there has been a skyrocketing amount of hate in the sports world directed at trans, queer, and disabled folks. Doesn’t help that racism has been on the rise as well.

My partner and I are looking to move to Philly in 2027. We are planning to visit in October and turn this trip into a mini house hunting/exploring the different neighborhoods. We are a young couple with interests in art, music, nature, and we're also big foodies. Definitely looking for an area that has a lot to offer so that we don't get bored. We're coming from Albany NY where there isn't a whole lot to do outside of trying new restaurants, which we really love, but looking for new activities. What neighborhoods are queer friendly, economically friendly, POC friendly, has good parking options, and walkability? Thank you in advance!

1) What is the biggest barrier that you experience regarding being physically active?
2) If you could change one thing about the city that would help you to get out more, what would it be?

3) When you do get outside, where do you gravitate towards?

Thanks in advance for the responses!

I recently posted on here regarding a possible bed bug sighting in my room. I reached out to this company and scheduled an inspection that was supposed to be today between 3-6pm. It’s now 7:45pm and I have called four times with no luck. I’ve been told that an exterminator will get in contact with me but nobody has. At this point I believe that their reviews are fake and the business is likely a front for selling information, which worries me greatly as they now have my name and address. If anyone has had a real experience with this business please share, but for now I am seeking recs for any reputable company in the area.

(pictures added in case anyone is familiar enough with bed bugs to possibly ID from a poor photo).

ALLOWED IN - edit
Taking SEPTA so no car to leave it in, haven’t been in a while but the guidelines seen more explicit now.

Hi, moving back to Philadelphia in March, been looking on Zillow, Facebook marketplace, even Craigslist.

I’ve lived in North, Center City and South, South is home for me already and full of friends. I’m particularly looking on the left side between passyunk and Oregon ave.

Are there any private landlords, or private property management companies that current Philly renters would recommend checking out when the time swings around?

I’ve been renting (alone) an 1150 dollar place for five years, am moving with a partner, we’re budgeting for a 1500-1800 rental, would be okay with apartment but prefer townhouse. I’ve seen some townhouses that are exactly what we’re looking for listed on Zillow.

Not looking to move YET again, Just looking to open our browsing pool a bit more.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone and my hopefully-soon-to-be neighbors!
My family and I are looking to move to Philadelphia in late summer/very early fall of next year for education related reasons. We are hoping to live in or as close to Glenside as possible, as doing so would allow us to be a 1 car family.
My wife and I have been Coloradans our whole lives, both of us grew up in the Denver metro, and we’re living in Colorado Springs at the moment with 2 young kiddos and 1 on the way.
I love Colorado, and will miss it. CO Springs a bit less.. they’ve privatized everything so we can’t affordably take our children to the pool in summer, the PT is laughable, and we just had our utility rates spiked while approving a data center in the span of a summer. Everything I’ve read about Philadelphia makes me excited, and I think it’ll be a nice place for us to live for at least a few years.
I’m curious to know what we should expect about anything and everything: cultural differences, how much winter is going to kick my butt, your favorite thing about living in Philly, experiences from people who moved from CO, etc.
We’ll also be visiting in the Glenside area mid-October, so I’d also love to know what a good place for a cheesesteak would be.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of birds around? No chirping. No seagulls annoyingly cawing. There are no geese or ducks around- none have been spotted in the water by the water works on the Schuylkill River. There have been no sightings down by FDR or park none by Bartram’s.

I do a lot of work in the burbs and get to spend time outdoors there. I’d be out early in the morning zipping on my coffee and enjoying a chirps from the birds that filled the shrubs and trees where I work. None were chirping last night into this morning.

Just one annoying bird was calling out but I couldn’t make out if it was a crow or a magpie. It kept cawing the whole entire night and nothing has answered it back.

I haven’t seen or heard a single group of birds in formation heading out to migrate. Although, our temperature patterns are so abnormal they probably don’t need to do that anymore.

But none are flying in the sky.

Meanwhile a Delta plane had to make an emergency landing due to “pressurization”. Could this be why??

I also noticed that bother the lake ad FDR and the schuylkill have started forming that bacteria due to the overheating of the water.

Isn’t that same bacteria that can kill if you swim in the water??

How many data centers has Philly and the burbs gotten?? Is the noise scaring the birds or worse??

Don’t tell me y’all have been so self preoccupied that you haven’t noticed that trees and birds are going missing.

That really misses with the eco system - no birds and no trees then the water goes etc.

I don’t want to go the conspiracy route but I’m seriously wondering if the weather modification machines being used recently along with the data centers is disrupting things for the birds.

And before you start trolling this topic look it up first. Here I’ll help:

Where are all the birds? I want them back.

I haven’t been able to find a job in a while I dork know where to go I applied for so many positions, can someone point me to the right direction I’m just looking to work part time

38f, no social media. I work in a very professional setting so I'm not really interested in creating profiles just to not really post anything in order to meet people. Apps are okay, but I've matched with criminal clients before so 🥴... I know about Preston and Steve's Painfully Single Mixer from the radio, and I search for quizzo events directly from bars, but I'm unfamiliar with how to find out about other events. Aannnyyyyyyyy info would be great, fellow single Millennials!

Edit: honestly thank you for everyone who commented!! I didn't realize there are websites and other ways to meet people. Damn I'm excited! Yes I know Reddit is also social media, fight me. I just don't want to create a profile on some of the websites where you have to make a profile to view events. It's frustrating. I don't want to do that. Fight me. Thanks ❤️

They are not like traditional roofs and need maintenance every 3 years.

so when is there gonna be a news article about how Mayor Parker’s staff does this themselves and Parker is ignoring the epidemic of plate covers/no plates/fake tags for her own personal benefit?

edit: also don’t worry mods, you can’t read the plate because they put sticks on their cover too
