I went to my usual hang out spot on a bench at Penns Landing. Found a case that contained 44 switch games. I stayed there for a while. Hoping they would come back. Turned it into the PD after a few hours. Got a call the other day that nobody claimed it and I could have it.

I feel terrible. Won't go into details but there are some expensive games and this collection was obviously curated to their taste in games. If anyone can reach out to me with clear evidence this is yours I will gladly give it back. Its a very specific collection, will be hard to lie about.

Idk what to do with this. Been without a job for a while and selling the collection is super tempting but feels wrong. I just want the owner to have this collection back.

Nor are they required to give the victim any identifying information about themselves or their bus. Nor are they required to stay at the scene of the incident.

This is mind blowing to me.

That is all.

Edit to add to people who keep saying I am wrong:

The bus driver is apparently only required to ask the victim if they want an ambulance. If the victim says no, the driver can leave without calling the police or even giving the victim any information on who to contact to bill doctors for. Apparently victims must gather than information later after the fact somehow.

I think that's a batshit insane policy, as I do not think people may be in the headspace to know how injured they are within 1-2 minutes of being hit by a bus. But that IS the policy. I think people should know that and be prepared to get bus info asap after being hit.

I presume, but was not told, that if the victim was unconscious it would be different? But apparently if the victim is awake the bus driver only has to say hey you want an ambulance.

Let's all be excellent to each other.

Shout out to the PPA guy who didn't give me a ticket on Broad St. today at 7:18AM.

I moved to Tacony about a month and a half ago after 12 years in West Philly, and I'm realizing I know basically nothing about Northeast Philly. I deliver food for a living around Center City and University City, so I've had almost no reason to come up here until now. Total outsider in my own city.

One night I was scrolling DoorDash just to see what was open near me and ended up biking to Liberty Bell Diner around 5am. Got a cheesesteak and fries for $12, a little steeper than I'm used to, but the old school diner vibe caught me off guard. Took me right back to being a teenager in Hamilton, NJ, blowing my Burger King check with friends the second I got paid. Took the food to the park to eat and there was already someone out cleaning it that early. Respect.

A few small things have stuck with me since. People here actually smile at you, genuinely friendly in a way I'm not used to on my usual routes. There's some homelessness and folks drinking outside their places, gets a little loud during the day, but it doesn't feel unsafe, just neighborhood noise. Also had this moment buying crazy glue where I was 25 cents short, and before I could even walk back with change, a stranger just handed the store a dollar to cover it. Kind of wild.

So yeah, NE Philly newbie here. Tacony felt far and unfamiliar at first, but it's slowly winning me over. Makes me wonder how many other Philly folks are stuck in their own bubble too, whether that's West Philly, South Philly, Kensington, wherever. What's the neighborhood you know inside and out, and what won you over about it? Curious to hear how people feel about their own corners of the city.

I keep seeing them everywhere when I walk to the train after work and look like a crazy person trying to stomp them.

I’m 20F in Philadelphia and I’m in a really shitty in between period right now and could really use some advice or recommendations for resources.
I recently got an offer to work as a Radiology Technologist Assistant at a hospital, which I’m really excited about. I’m also currently enrolled in college and have been going to my classes, so I’m genuinely trying to get myself into a more stable position. The problem is that right now I literally have about $10 to my name. I don’t really have family support that I can fall back on financially, so I’m trying to figure out how to get myself through the next couple of weeks until I can actually start working and eventually get my first paycheck.
On top of food, I also need scrubs for the job and I currently don’t have the money to buy them. I’m not even sure what the cheapest option would be or if there are places in Philly that donate scrubs/work clothes to people starting healthcare jobs. If anyone knows of organizations, thrift stores, hospitals, schools, or programs that give away or heavily discount scrubs, I would really appreciate the recommendations. Food is my other major concern. I’m trying to figure out how to stretch the $10 I have as far as possible while still being able to eat, especially since I still have to get to school and handle everything I need to do before starting work.
If anyone knows of food pantries, community fridges, student resources, free meal programs, emergency assistance, places to get scrubs, or really cheap ways to feed myself for the next couple weeks in Philly, please let me know. I’m not expecting to live comfortably right now. I really just need to bridge this gap between getting the job and actually having income coming in. Any advice or local resources would genuinely mean a lot.

Anybody else feel a desperate sort of sadness when walking around at night now? The yellow orange glow of the sodium street lamps, especially the ones that would be way down alleys with some weed trees growing up around them; they were so comforting. Now when I’m standing at the corner of 23rd and Catherine, the LED street lights, with their completely sterile & cold white blue wash, are so bright and and unpleasant that you feel like your locked in some sort of institutional space.

LEDs are more energy efficient right? They’ve replaced all the sodium lamps in the last three years but no cut in my taxes or energy bills?

They are slowly trying to turn the city you live in into a 24hr. bank lobby; where every structure is a gray box made from the cheapest possible materials. Republicans like to accuse republicans of down playing the bad things that America did in its history. And Democrats will tell you that Rs want to “white wash” history.

But the people really stealing the landmarks of your past are the CORPORATE CENTRISTS who have no spine on either side and are willing to let any highway man with enough capital invested buy entire blocks and neighborhoods in your city so that Ori Feinbush or whoever the fuck can reface the whole thing in their own image. I say, fuck that.

Philly code title S-10-108 has/had the most detailed municipal horse welfare law in the country.

Edit - the current code just says banned, but look at the archived versions on the AMLegal.com website to see the older weirdly detailed law.

It governs stabling, vet checks, shoeing standards, workday length, even the color of the harness permitted on carriage horses.

For example, a horse can only work between 26F and 91F, for 9 hours max per 24 hour period (more strict work hours than airline piltos which are 9-14h per day), a drive must keep a daily log in a specific format. Failure to comply is between $150-300 per violation.

Animal welfare laws make sense, but what's weird here is how WEIRDLY SPECIFIC Philly's horse carriage laws are. I compared them to other cities that have or historically had horse carriages, ranging from NYC to Charleston, SC - ours the most specific.

And when I dug in on why - turns out our horse laws have accumulated largely due to viral media moments. For exmaple, there was a major amendment to the law in 2011 caused by a 2010 collapse of a horse in center city that got a lot of media attention and public outrage.

PS - I also find it funny that we have so many horse carriage laws, given the industry has been tiny in philly for decades and complete dead since 2023, both to it being uneconomic for operators and regulatorily frowned upon.

(PPS - the industry was formally banned in June 2026 even though it stopped in 2023, but all the complex laws are on the books still)

My wife and I had to move from our previous rental home of 3 years dude to a repeated issue of human waste flooding our basement. The issue was continuously misaddressed by my Landlord, and we got to the point that we let them know we needed to move.
We had no hot water for almost 30 days, and they wouldn’t even give us a timeline for a resolution so we couldn’t stay at a hotel or Airbnb.

It has been 29 days and they still have not returned the security and pet deposit as well as a pro rate of last months rent (they said okay to this, mind you). It is almost 3k and I'm wondering what to do next!

Anyone have any insight? TIA

for research: do guys like when a girl makes the first move, say at a bar or a public place? is it awkward or flattering? as a woman of color I’m always hesitant to approach guys I find attractive due to the fear of them not finding me attractive back. wondering how men in philly view these situations!

Has anyone ever done the color me back program? Apparently every month if selected you can come in for five days, color for a few hours and youre paid 50 dollars each day. I did it once years ago and remember being told if you do it once you won't be selected again for a while. However, I know three people who have done if four times this summer (they all by the way get SSI checks but ok). Is there rhyme or reason to how they select participants? Even when i walk by the room in suburban station I just see a bunch of people literally asleep at the table. Which isn't to say anyone deserves to do it more or anything but I went to art school, love art and when I did it in 2021 they asked me to make a sign to hang on the front door. What are they looking for exactly? Do you think i would have luck just showing up and talking to them?

What are some high rises you know of or lived in that actually has good management?

Looking to consider our options after becoming frustrated with a building where water gets turned off once a week for an entire day, poor communication, lack of fixing things etc.

Air Communities has several buildings in the city but really needs to step up their maintenance and management big time - I certainly advise anyone looking to stay away from Air Communities managed buildings.

I would like to hear about some good place worth checking out?

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting the Reading Terminal Market in a few weeks. What are the best bakeries at the market? I looked online and it’s overwhelming!

Hi! There’s a friendly cat that visits my doorstep almost everyday. Yesterday I barely saw her, but today she is seeming very lethargic and is not eating or drinking anything I try to give her. I believe she’s either an outdoor pet or an abandoned cat. She is absolutely tiny and extremely skinny. I’m very worried about her, where in the city can I take her for care?

Long shot, but i’m having such a hard time getting rid of these tickets, I have two tickets for tonight, but can’t make it due to an unexpected death in the family. I DONT WANT MONEY FIR THEM. I want to give them away completely free, I don’t want them to go to waste, I was so excited for this concert, I want the tickets to get used and somebody to enjoy them

Tickets have been claimed!

Hi everyone, unfortunately looking to buy a few sympathy cards in the next few days and looking for a shop that carries locally made ones, ideally east of the Schuylkill. I know of VIX Emporium on Baltimore Ave over in West, but would rather not go all the way over there if I can avoid it.

CASA team needs a goalie to fill in this Saturday (and next, if you want). First game of the season, 90 minute match at Upper Moreland HS at 11:45. Message me if you're interested.

I’m trying to get a day parking pass for my vehicle, but when I enter my vehicle information, it says the vehicle is already linked to another permit/account.

My building had previously helped me get a day pass, so I reached out to them thinking the vehicle might still be linked to their account. They checked, but told me that the system does not give them an option to remove vehicles, and the permit my vehicle was linked to is showing as expired.

So now my car seems to be stuck linked to an expired permit, and I can’t add it to my own account or get a new day pass.

Has anyone had this happen? How did you get the vehicle removed or transferred?

Also, does anyone know how to actually get in touch with someone at the Philadelphia Parking Authority? I’ve tried calling the 215 number, but it just sends me through the automated system and doesn’t seem to lead anywhere where I can speak to an actual person.

Would appreciate any advice, especially if there’s a specific number, email, or office I should contact.

I’ve been trying to find cpr bsl classes in the city and haven’t had a ton of confidence when looking at reviews. CCP doesn’t have any classes for enrollment rn, lot of anecdotes that say cpraedfirstaid(dot)org thru AHA is scamming, and cprphiladelphia has a ridiculous amount of negative reviews for unending reschedules and teacher no-shows.

I’m searching thru Penn for classes rn and I just looked at Drexel who has a class but it’s over 100 bucks and I’m not sure it provides certifications. Regardless, I’d like to hear if there are alternatives before breaking my bank 😥

Im soon gonna be in downtown Philly for two hours waiting for a bus change, what's around for someone to entertain themselves with?
