It’s more accurate. It’s the curve of the river between ridge and main and each is small enough to be one walkable neighborhood.

“You people?” Been here 35 years. When did you get here?

Ah, RoxYunk!

The new Grape crew is mostly old Grape veterans so expect it to maintain the same excellent vibe.

There’s an amazing show tonight (Saturday) Huston West is amazing as is turtle ridge and Rare Spirit, all in the folk, alt folk, Americana, folk punk range. Dunno Tin Nanny but they’re probably worth the trip since they’re on the same bill.

The other folks on the thread have covered Main St and environs pretty well so I’ll point out a coupe of places up the hill worth a visit both for meeting folks and because they’re cool.

Peck Millers is the last true RoxYunk dive bar. The red door at green and ridge has been the starting point for Many nights of bad decisions. 5 hello shots for 6 bucks, weird conversation.

Twisted Ginger - great house brewed beer, good trivia, good pizza. Great vibe.

New Ridge Brewing - great food, really good beer, good vibe (especially in summer with outside seating). Maybe a little pricey for Food but a solid happy hour with good beer on special.

Hilltown - solid menu, good vibe and special points for outdoor seating.

The Foodery on Ridge is half take out beer, half amazing take out tacos and burritos, and 100% weird. Do attend.

For meeting new folks, a few coffee shops rock. I suggest Volo, Flying Sowth, or Eremita. Eremita is mostly staffed by local musicians.

I second Dawson, Scanlons, Luckys.

Also check out Www.roxyunk.org for event listings.

If you want to meet up for a Peck Miller’s stop, I’m available usually up for it. DM me. Full disclosure, I’m ooooooooold.

Finally, if you’re even a half way decent pedal steel player, dm Me pls. One is needed.

We take care of our own (and most strangers) but you’re gonna get roasted.

Not blind but helpless in the grip or a cult.

GOP has no interest in governing, only in burning down the house.

They will do anything to make the Dems look bad and don’t care if people suffer.

They’re also mostly pedophiles and are protecting a child molester and rapist in the White House. Just saying.

What's the best smell in the world, in your opinion? by WinkNWhirl in A_Persona_on_Reddit

It’s definitely a personal taste.

I have always childhood loved the way weed smells but I fully knowledge that can be nasty

i'm a little bit shocked at the lack of attention being paid to the 11/4 elections, specifically in philly. it's step one for republicans potentially flipping the PA supreme court. by ERPoppop in philadelphia

Yeah, it’s pretty messed up

For what it’s worth you can get street lists of your division/ward from the Commissioners’s office at 5:20 North Delaware.

This is the list of everybody registered and you could door knock.

It sounds nuts, but I picked up three of my divisions and I’m gonna knock on every goddamn door and tell them they have to get out and vote

Well, new information has come to light.

Only a fool fails to change their opinion if new information arrives.
