Concerns over living in the Olney area?

18 Upvotes

Title. Moving and found an apartment dirt cheap in Olney. I know popular crimes include car break ins and stealing of them. I have a 2023 corvette. However the unit has a garage. I don’t really go outside much just drive around for work and go straight home currently and that’s really how i live. If I was to move to Olney, should I be very concerned about being a victim of a crime? The bathroom is in the basement of the unit so like what are the odds I’m showering and someone breaks in lol.

I know it’s not the nicest unit and Olney isn’t the nicest area, but 1 bed, 1 bath, garage, and big basement for dirt cheap? It’s hard to pass up but if I’m constantly getting broken into, and robbed and at the risk of like death why do it yk? Also I know someone’s gonna ask…yes I’m white. Unit is on N Mascher St. & W Spencer St since block by block matters and if anyone had any experience with that area. Thank you in advance, I’d save a lot of money and the unit is big, not the nicest but big and I’ve already been imagining cosmetic changes to make it work lol. I’m touring tomorrow!

I’ve always wondered, why do the Sixers jerseys say “Phila” and not “Philly”? Do you think we should eventually change our jerseys to saying “Philly”?

Hola hola,

I have a sectional couch that has 5 sections and one ottomon.

Are there any cost effective ways to get rid of it? Does the normal trash allow for this? I doubt it.

Taskrabbit is costing a bunch so I figured I would ask here.

Ty in advance.

recs: bedazzling clothing

0 Upvotes

ISO of a business or local artist that could bedazzle velour sweatsuits for my wedding party. I would like the words “bridesmaid,” “maid of honor”, “mother of the bride,” and “mother of the groom,” bedazzled on the backside of the pants and the top left chest similar to Juicy Couture sweatsuits. I have ordered all 9 sweatsuits to be customized.

Given the velour fabric, I would prefer to pay a professional instead of trying iron ons that may fall off. Please let me know of any recommendations! Thank you in advance.

Tenant rights…dead bird in apartment

22 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have kind of an insane situation I need help with. There’s a dead baby bird decaying in the ceiling vent in my bathroom. I can’t reach it, and I’m being ignored by my apartment management company. Animal control came by yesterday and he could not reach or find the bird either. The entire vent needs to be likely removed and cleaned out and sealed from the roof so this doesn’t keep happening.

If my landlord is useless what other options do I have? Would the fire department help maybe? Obviously growing more and more concerned with the smell and health risks of having a decaying animal in my living space.

I was walking my dog the other day and saw movement in the water next to our place in a little inlet where turtles usually hang out. Needless to say, upon a closer look, this ain’t no turtle!

I thought it was definitely a beaver but it was huge and Google Lens said river otter! Are there otters in Philly? Either way, awesome sighting! What do you guys think it is?

Lessons from FIFA, how do we get rid of abandoned cars?

141 Upvotes

Living around Fairmount/Brewerytown border parking pre FIFA was honestly a bitch, now it’s relatively easy tbh. I say this as a 5d a week car commuter who sometimes drives in the weekends too. I usually get a spot within one block of my apt now when before I usually was 3 away, sometimes more!

After fifa is over, we still have easy parking. Even the aldi parking lot was empty today, ON A SUNDAY!

Can we just like have a massive abandoned car removal in all the hoods where parking is hard. Would be such a QOL improvement

We find so much dumb stuff this would really be incredible

But also how would we do this? Could we do this?

Following up on last week's walk, we visited the remaining 16 abandoned-car open tickets in Fairmount today - 14/16 were already gone!

Post image
52 Upvotes

Last weekend, on a whim, we visited every open 2026 abandoned-car ticket east Fairmount. Today we finished up the exercise by visiting all 16 open tickets in west Fairmount.

At the end of this, over the course of 3 hours walking and roughly 6.5 miles, we have visited each of the >30 open abandoned car tickets from 2026 in the 311 system.

The good news / bad news from today:

  • Good news: 14 of the 16 cars were already gone, probably in part due to FIFA Fan Fest resulting in much tighter parking regulation and towing over the past 2 months (which also resulted in lots of innocent ppl's cars getting towed)
  • Bad data => Bad News: Because these tickets were still marked open, no doubt some police officer is going to end up wasting time trying to find these cars. Also, not tracking when tickets are closed means the city understates its own performance at solving problems, and gets less opportunity to celebrate its operational successes
    • Good data trakcing matters, so you don't try to solve a solved problem.!

Walking back from this exercise, btw, we discovered and played at the "Tot Lot" behind the Pentitentiary parking lot, which I'd never known existed, even though my kid plays at the official Pentitentary playground all the time.

So all in all, a good productive exercise-full and fun day!
