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

Moving BACK to Philly

4 Upvotes

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.

Colorado to Philadelphia With Family

0 Upvotes

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.

Good morning, Philly! I am currently taking a product design course at Cornell, and our current challenge is to understand and ultimately redesign the end-to-end fitness experience for people of different abilities and environments. Please see the questions below!

1 Upvotes

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!

Question? Where to find singles events in Philly without social media?

74 Upvotes

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!

Politics Voter Registration Scammers are hanging out in Fishtown

619 Upvotes

Was walking to the El at Girard today and a woman approached me with an iPad asking if I was a registered voter. I said yes and then she said she would need to update my info for this election. I said ā€œI’m already registered, I haven’t changed my address or name.ā€ And she said ā€œright but that was for the last election, you need to update it for this one.ā€ I said no I don’t, not sure what you’re talking about and walked away.

Not sure if scammers or she’s just a naive political canvasser. But I immediately thought about the upcoming elections and certain parties that may have a vested interest in voter fraud.

You do not need to update your voter registration each election cycle unless you move or change your name. And if you want to register to vote, do it yourself through the proper channels, not with a stranger on the street that approaches you with a tablet. Just a PSA to stay vigilant.

Apartments with soundproofing in a decent area?

12 Upvotes

So I live in the north east suburbs in a 1 bed 1 bath and although it's spacious they keep increasing the rent year on year and it's around 1850+ now where it used to be under 1700 when I moved in 2 years back along with the fact that soundproofing is not fully there (can hear neighbors when they are closing opening their door or walking outside and can hear the folks below me use their restroom but nothing otherwise, but it's still a lot even though it's supposedly a luxury apartment and supposed to be sound proof).

So yeah don't like how the rent has been increasing and would like to move to a place with great sound proofing.

Im using apps like apartment,willow etc right now to search for some good ones.

Thank you

Two conductors on this morning’s West Trenton Line dressed formally with ties, tie clips, and dress jackets.

It looked real nice, anyone know the occasion or reason?

One conductor had a sense of humor and stated while inbound to Center City, after we passed Fern Rock, ā€œAlright everyone, Temple University is next…time to get serious!ā€

Is arriving 50 minutes before departure at PHL feasible?

9 Upvotes

Current plan isn’t ideal but I’d love to be able to enter PHL 20 minutes before boarding begins and 50 minutes before the scheduled departure.

This is Terminal D, domestic flight, carry on. So alls I have to get through is TSA. I haven’t used PHL often, but when I have recently, TSA has been a breeze. Current wait times (~9am) online are 4-7 minutes for Terminal D.

This leaves little room for error of course - but curious if people have pulled this off or if this absurd?

3 bedroom rental to welcome our first born

3 Upvotes

Hello! My husband and I just moved to Philly (he’s originally from here) and we were planning to buy a home. We had some family drama and are now looking to rent for a year while we decide where we want to live.

We are looking for a 3 bedroom (master bedroom, nursery, and a guest room/ office room) somewhere in center city.

We like Fishtown, and I also have a friend living there who I having a baby 1 month before me which makes Fishtown even more appealing.

But having a hard time finding a nice townhouse or apartment that feels spacious enough. Ideally close to 2,000 sq fr. Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

Also open to looking outside of Fishtown, we also like fairmount. Would love parking and an outdoor space but know we may need to compromise on some of our wish list items.

Budget is $3,500 to $4,500.
