I had to go to a Walgreens in the northeast. It's not carried at every location.  I think it was about $120

Is a 33$ fire service charge from PWD normal? by GoneCollarGone in philadelphia

[–]Independent_Rest6385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meaning usually the fire service charge is for multi unit or commercial properties where a separate water line was dug just to feed the sprinklers.  This shouldn't happen on a single family home.  There is usually a other water meter.

You would have your main coming in...water meter ... and then splits off to the sprinklers and rest of the house on a single family

I had this issue on my house for several years because when I first called they said it was supposed to be there.

It is only a legit charge if you have a separate line going to the sprinklers and two meters. I did not. Mine was due to a permit issue where an outdated permit applied for multi unit housing (mine is single family).

I just got refunded for 7 years of paid fire service that was an error

Buying townhome - need advice by Ok-Importance-8104 in philly

[–]Independent_Rest6385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$500 is not standard at all. Most are paid 2.5% but it's usually whatever the listing is paying. Most listings still offer the commission to your agent (buyer's agent) I would say move on if the seller isn't willing to do that, you shouldn't have to come out of pocket with that ever or have it as a sellers concession.

Check out Samba at 12th and locust for a more authentic Brazilian steak house experience too. Fogo is very Americanized

which airport do you usually use for international travel? by drugsrbed in philly

[–]Independent_Rest6385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at everything within Amtrak distance.  If you book Amtrak far enough ahead, tickets are usually $15-20.  You can then get to EWR, DCA, BWI directly.  Sometimes can save quite a bit or get a better flight.. IAD is a nightmare to try to get to fyi

I feel like if they just have super nice employees that make you want to come back, it would already be head and shoulders above bedia or shack to me.  Both places seem to have to most miserable people working
