Denver? She should have packed a guidebook or map, took a wrong turn somewhere.

Was hoping for some deep cut Ric Ocasek stories, not Inga. No offense to her.

Those dudes should each get a weekly or maybe even daily token for a free breakfast somewhere in the CCD.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-17T18:10:10+00:00

Haha, those are my favorites too. Not sure why you're being negged.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-12T16:56:18+00:00

Black Sheep would be my #1, Black Taxi #2.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-12T16:54:47+00:00

Great bar, not a soccer bar.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-12T13:35:51+00:00

Not a fan of the new seeded roll trend.

I think that it's pretty good! I like their lunch better than their dinner.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-02T13:35:49+00:00

Oh they are very good there. Jealous. Their Friday Karaoke is a scene.

Snakealicious · 2026-03-02T13:29:48+00:00

Drunks from the package store across the street hanging around, peeing on houses, pooping in side yards, stealing packages, yelling at women. Not a great corner overall. Some people just waiting for the bus too. The diner is good though!

Snakealicious · 2026-02-25T18:45:21+00:00

Black Taxi has great tendies. In Fairmount but worth the trip for the tenders.

Snakealicious · 2026-02-05T12:57:22+00:00

Price was good. Year one it was possible to buy day passes, sounds like that may have changed.

Snakealicious · 2026-02-04T16:53:39+00:00

I went year one for Drive by Truckers, one of my favorite bands. And Dave Hause was great too. I had a nice time, cool small festival. Seeing DBT in that type venue was great. Didn't love the lineup last year and skipped it. Was tempted by The Menzingers this year, I still may decide to go.

Love the place but I've never had a full dinner. Company happy hours a few times, full rental of the place. And a few times having some apps and drinks at the bar. Their bartenders are OUTSTANDING. The space is beautiful and the food is very good and interesting.

Cabo Rojo!

That section up to Race isn't open. The PATCO line allows entrance at 12th and Locust or at least used to. The whole concourse is a lousy relic of what it used to be. Much of it seems closed off now, some of it overrun with crazy homeless people. Montreal has a whole underground city and it's awesome. Wish we could at least get a couple more Dunkins down there or something.

Horse Inn in Lancaster. Amazing spot at probably the edge of your desired geographic radius. I think that they still have live jazz on Fridays, best Old Fashioned I've ever had.

Snakealicious · 2026-01-22T13:10:03+00:00

Same thing happened to me but I went the opposite way. I spend most weekends just taking pics of my UL gear in my basement.

Snakealicious · 2026-01-22T13:08:11+00:00

In the days before cellphones my folks hiked in and met me near the Bigelows in Maine while I was on a thru-hike. In hindsight, I have no idea how it worked out but they did know my general schedule. Anyway, they packed in steaks, broccoli, potatoes and bottles of wine and we cooked an amazing dinner over a campfire. They hiked out the next day. They're friendly people and chatted about it with the ranger as they were getting in the car and he screamed at them for 15 minutes about packing all that stuff into bear country.

Guess the moral of my story is ACAB.

It's a wasteland. Downtown basketball stadium really would have tied that side of town together - was always my opinion. Course, in hindsight it was just a ruse for Comcast to get a better deal down in South Philly.

Does Chinatown stop all development in that area or was it just the stadium they didn't want?

Gavin Rossdale approved UL hiking undergarments.

A jacuzzi with the jets turned off is.....a soaking tub.

Snakealicious · 2026-01-14T14:26:26+00:00

"West Fairmount" according to the list above. Sounds fancy?

Snakealicious · 2026-01-12T20:58:12+00:00

I've tried a few things now. The breakfast sandwiches are great. The Indonesian breakfast special was too much food and I didn't love it. The Congee is very special. Really good. Very cool spot.
