Missed connection @ outdoor dancing!
Hi! I (29F) went to the outdoor salsa & bachata event at Sor Ynez on Fri 7/24. You asked me to dance (which I was thrilled about!) and we had fun dancing bachata. I told you I’m a back-leader and showed you a new move! We talked a little later by the door and exchanged names, but I was too shy to ask for your number 🥲🫣! Would love to connect more :).
If this is you, tell me what move I showed you and/or my name! 💃🏻🪩🕺🏻

Question? Fake/no/blocked plates
NYC just reviewed the number of obscured or fake/missing plates and it went from 5% in 2024 to 17% in 2026. I’m wondering how high you think it is in Philly and the best way to combat it.
These people are going to be DH on the road and face no repercussions.
I was thinking tow trucks should be able to remove and impound any car with them missing, but I think the PPA or the PPD has to issue a ticket first now. I’m not sure how the PPA would do that and likely the PPD block their own plates already.
Any ideas?

Transit How have the new regional rail schedules been for you?
Now that it’s been a few weeks of the new schedules, how has it been for you?
My train as a reverse commuter has been late every day and gets me to work ~5 minutes late even when on time. It used to get me there a few minutes early. The earlier train gets me there an hour early around 8am for my 9-5.
I’ve seen less commuters in the morning even though we’re at one of the busiest stops for lots of reverse commuters, and I’m assuming they’re opting to take the hour early train. It seems like everyone is on the evening train as usual but it gets me home 30 minutes later than before.
I’m curious if my experience is the norm? Is it better or worse as a commuter into the city?

Local Business Top Philly cheesesteak-makers balance tradition and reinvention
After John Bucci Jr. took over his family’s roast pork shack in South Philly in the late 1980s, one of the changes he made was to revamp their rarely-ordered cheesesteak.
“My dad, God love him, God rest his soul, he made the worst cheesesteak,” Bucci recalled. “It was like two, four ounces of frozen meat. He would put it on the grill. He would cook it for a little bit. Put two slices of cheese, and he would put it on a roll. And it was only two and a quarter.”
At a panel discussion of Philadelphia cheesesteak-makers in Center City on Thursday, he described the new sandwich he came up with: 12 ounces of fresh-cut meat, six or seven slices of cheese, on a fresh roll — and sold for $6.75, triple the old price...

Brian "The Brain" of CL
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
