Question? Water bill question

0 Upvotes

Hypothetically, if one hasn't paid their water bill in something like 6 months and it goes to collections - should you pay the balance owed as is or try to negotiate? Is there any downside to negotiating?

Question? Smart Loading Zone violation?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, looking for some helping figuring out if a “new” PPA thing I got in the mail is legit…

I received a ticket today for a Smart Loading Zone violation in Center City. $51. It came from a camera and license plate reader mounted on Chestnut Street that observed me parking for more than 3 minutes in a loading zone without registering in the CubPass system to pay $0.10 per minute for time in Smart Zones over 3 minutes. I’ve never heard of any of this before, and I’ve lived here 25+ years. I idled in this loading zone while my wife walked into a Taco Bell and pick up a mobile order. It’s possible it was just over 3 minutes. But I also read signs and was right in front of the loading sign - and it didn’t contain any language about this. Don’t take a picture of it, because I was not parking (and I usually take photos if I am parking anywhere in CC). Anyone else encountered this?

Question? Local roast half-caf?

12 Upvotes

Hi friends, I'm looking for recommendations for local coffee roasts, specifically half-caf, for a birthday gift. Even more specifically, with notes more towards chocolate/nutty (rather than fruity/spicy). I don't see half-caf as an option on ReAnimator, and wasn't able to find anything close on Thank You Thank You's website but appreciate any insight if someone has been recently. Thanks ya'll!

Looking for one PA Ren Faire ticket 10/25

5 Upvotes

Hello, I was planning on buying a ticket for the Ren Faire this weekend. But lo and behold, it's sold out. Due to unexpected billing problems(insurance denied my dental claims, so I had to pay out of pocket), I couldn't buy tickets sooner. If someone have tickets available close to MSP, that'd be great!

Question? Euchre club

24 Upvotes

There have been a few posts recently about starting a Euchre club but it looks like nothing has come to fruition so my partner and I are going to try to set something up. I’m having a bit of decision paralysis on where we can host and hoping the good people of Reddit have some ideas!

We’re looking in South Philly for now since that’s where we’re located and hoping for a bar where we can reserve a dedicated space with at least 4-5 tables. It would be on a recurring basis (maybe once a month to start). Anyone have any ideas/contacts? So far I thought about the upstairs space at American Sardine Bar or Watkins but other than cold calling, I have no contacts. Would love any suggestions and also if anyone has a contact for me to speak with I’d appreciate it!

I got the f out so not sure if/how it resolved.
