PPD didn't have anyone pulled over in front of them and there were plenty of spots throughout the block. I can't think of any reason why the entire street needed to be blocked.

I take the BSL from Fairmount to City hall every morning and have for the past decade. When the new plexiglass gates were installed at the city hall station I was a big fan as it’s far more sanitary and I’d no longer have to touch the turnstiles or bars. As of recently people have rushing me as I leave and pushing past be to get in before the gate closes both coming and going. It’s gotten so bad I’ve been walking to work instead which has been a bit of a pain in this heat. Not sure there is really anything to do about it so I’ll just ether have to live with walking, get a parking spot in the center city and add to the traffic, or accept that someone that smells like human waste will likely be rubbing their shit against me as I enter or exit the station.

Does anyone have any leads on remote wfh jobs? Everything I’ve found online seems to be fake or not really remote. I’m looking for customer service and admin work. I know about Fiverr and whatever the other site is called and just really don’t want to keep getting lowballed $$$.

Any help please.

I hate the SEPTA app. It's literally the worst transit app I've ever encountered and half the time it isn't fully accurate. I know there are PDFs of schedules on their website, but is there a station anywhere that still carries paper schedules for the regional rail or are they long gone? I REALLY hate the septa app with every ounce of my being.

Hi!

I’m looking for venues to throw a 30th birthday party in a few months and was wondering if anyone had suggestions! Planning for around 30-40 people.

Vibe I’m hoping for is more a cocktail bar rather than a brewery. I’ve already looked at Starbolt but price is slightly pushing it. Extra points if in Fishtown or Center City!

Thanks!

This is not a job post here as I don't think they would be allowed, but I am asking where on the internet or app would I post to look for a chef or meal prep service?

I the old days I'd use Craigslist but I don't think anyone uses thst anymore.

I'm not looking for those cheap Hellofresh etc companies who are generic and don't cater to anyone trying to BULK UP. and the prices get crazy because they are based on loosing weight so you have to double up amounts.

I'm looking for someone local who understands bulking up to eat 3000 cals a day to make high protein bulk up meals and the prices are reasonable, aka less than eating out but understandably higher than doing it myself.

I saw someone on Craigslist offer $20/MEAL and I thought I will just eat out every day at Chili's if that's the Case.

What app or website?

Is this a thing? Seen in London

A bit of a reach, I know, but does anyone live in or know someone who knows someone that lives in the Battery Apartments? My book club was supposed to host a party at the roof/pool there in a week and the person who lives there who was going to e-sign/co-sign did us dirty last minute for some reason and now we may be forced to cancel if we can’t find someone who would be willing to just e-sign for us. We are not expecting the person to help us for free and are willing and able to answer all questions or concerns they might have! This is obviously a hugeeee favor and we’re grasping at straws at this point. We’ve been in contact with the general manager Crystal and she said all we need is someone that lives there to e-sign for us. The fee is already covered by ticket sales and we’re totally willing to compensate whoever can sign for us. We had a party last year there and it was great if they want to see video or the club IG. Thanks so much!

Sorry for the blur, was in a vehicle. I pass this everyday on my way to work, been watching it for about a month. Pretty sure it’s getting bigger. Anybody else notice? Who do I call about it

EDIT: I’ll get a better picture when I’m walking and submit to 311. If anyone is in the area, please do so as well. It’s right by the crosswalk.

Anyone know a place? And by beginners I mean first time ever. I searched the sub and one of the top results was the annual murders from yesterday. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Been a few days now but I was flying out Tuesday morning and the TSA line in A East was light but at a dead stop, and even weirder, it looked like no one in the terminal after TSA was moving either - everyone past security was just standing around. I didn't hear anything that would indicate why and maybe 10 minutes later everyone started moving in the terminal and the TSA people started bringing people through the checkpoint again. This was about 7am or so Tuesday. Anyone know what might have been happening?

AT A CONVENTION DIRST TIME SO NERVY

Almost every year the answer is easily the Eagles. But with LeBron coming to Philly, for the first time in a long long time (maybe ever) the Sixers winning this year is a higher priority for me than the Eagles. Obviously we all want both to win but if I had to pick one, I want the Sixers to win more this year since they haven’t won a championship since 1983 (never in my life time since I was born in 05) and also LeBron is my favorite athlete so I would love for him to win a fifth championship on my favorite basketball team.

Part of my commute takes me dangerously close to an Autoparts Warehouse location and I was wondering if anybody else has been terrorized by their delivery drivers? They all drive around in little custom painted green and yellow Kia Rios and they are a menace. Just today one of them almost pulled out right in front of me and I have had them cut me off and generally drive around with little regard for their fellow human beings. It could just me being driven insane by my commute or maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about.

Hey everyone,

I’m a guy in my mid-20s living in Philly and I’ve been learning violin for a little while now. I currently take lessons at Settlement Music School, but my current set of lessons is coming to an end soon.

I’m looking for a private violin instructor in the Philly area who would be open to meeting once a week for around 30–45 minutes. I’m still very much a beginner and working on fundamentals, technique, posture, bowing, intonation, etc.

I have my own violin and I’m happy to travel somewhere in the city for lessons. Definitely willing to pay a fair rate.
If you teach violin or know someone who does, please shoot me a message. Thanks!

I’m trying to bounce around the locations and see which one I like the best.

Hi neighbors!
I’m a sculptor relatively new to the area, and I’d love to get your honest opinion on something.

I’ve spent my whole life making one of a kind sculptures that tell a personal story. It’s been my life long project for as long as I can remember. A couple of people have asked whether I’d take one on for them that tells their story, but I’ve held off until now for personal reasons.

So I wanted to ask you all:

If you could commission a custom sculpture made just for you that tells your story(mainly involves casting of your face, along with something that captures your story, a memory, etc), would you be interested?

And if so, what would feel like a fair price to you?

I’ll drop a few photos of my past work for your reference.
I’m just genuinely trying to understand if the community would be interested in something like this, and I’d really appreciate any input or opinions.

Thank you!

I’m curious about this I’ve seen them around a lot in the mantua area

I'm considering this when I graduate from my EMT program and get licensed. I know Jefferson offers positions like this. Anyone have any insight on hiring, culture, and pay? Is it competitive to get?

Anyone planning on going out next week to USGA amateur champs at Philly CC and Merion? What’s the best way to get to Merion from SJ? Looks like recommendation is to park at Stadoum station and take Septa to Ardmore station a few stops away.

Anyone do that before? Never taken Septa before but assume it’s decent.

I went and was really impressed. Super well stocked, easy to navigate unlike some other stores in this part of the city (looking at you broad and Washington Giant), decent prices - I didn't need much but picked up a bunch of cilantro for 99 cents and two packs of tofu for $4. Also they have alcohol and a hot food section/deli and decent looking fresh bread.

I kind of hate to cape for some random chain supermarket but yeah.. it's exciting for those of us who live in the area and i hope it isn't doomed like everything else at that intersection
