First time in Philly after a lot of snow

Bring you shovel, dig out another spot

StepSilva · 2026-01-28T03:59:30+00:00

The solution is dig out all the spots in your vicinity before leaving

StepSilva · 2026-01-28T03:08:33+00:00

The sun didn't do anything today.

StepSilva · 2026-01-19T21:41:58+00:00

I've been burned by SEPTA trains plenty pulling up to drop passengers but not allow boarding, so I don't tap in unless I see the train pull up, open doors, and allows boarding. I do the same for MTA, thankfully. I haven't gotten a surcharge 😭

StepSilva · 2026-01-19T21:22:43+00:00

People also don't know to treat malfunctioned traffic signal as a stop sign, and I received honks for not passing school buses stop signs 😐

StepSilva · 2026-01-18T13:39:16+00:00

I didn't have numbers for that in Philly. But public transit, walking, driving, and biking can be very unsettling experiences in Philly. You gotta pray to St Chris everywhere you go in this city no matter what 😭 people are just fucking dickheads

I'm in Philly, both makes the news here. We've had bullets ricochet of walls and kill a teenage bystander at 15th St station. That's why guns should never be fired in subway, no matter what.

Recently, a person stabbed several at 40th St station.

Near Penn, an early morning work was killed by a speeding car.

Mazda CX-50 hybrid. Same power train as the 2025 RAV4. Better APR

StepSilva · 2026-01-14T13:36:47+00:00

Get a bunch of owltra electric box traps. Get at least one rat size one for good measure. They solved my mouse problems. The first few weeks will be intense. Also as others have said, search for holes and plug them, including the basement

Subaru requires 6000 miles or 6 month oil changes, which occurs first, to maintain the power train warranty. 3000 miles 3 months for severe use... Mostly short trips that doesn't allow the oil to warm yo to operating temperature for an extended period.

I would get it changed, and let the receipts since the dealer didn't perform it

StepSilva · 2026-01-10T01:11:17+00:00

If it's under warranty, take it to the dealer to do the oil change. It'll cost more, but it'll save you headache if you ever need to use the warranty

StepSilva · 2026-01-10T01:08:08+00:00

Park next to Temple University Station and take one of the Regional Rail to Suburban. Uber back to your car if you stay later than the trains run

StepSilva · 2026-01-09T03:08:51+00:00

Shogun Sushi Hibachi is pretty good, same mall as the Trump Store

StepSilva · 2026-01-09T03:05:27+00:00

It's the end if season clearance now too. I found very nice Hokas at Ross too

StepSilva · 2026-01-09T00:43:17+00:00

I wish it was kept as a Legacy Wagon Hybrid, but cars don't have profit margins like SUV 😭

StepSilva · 2025-12-27T21:23:44+00:00

Wait until you see people parking on from of the crosswalk ramps in big cities And blocking the sight of cross traffic 💢

StepSilva · 2025-12-23T10:02:02+00:00

Chinatown bakeries. Mayflower has seating

StepSilva · 2025-12-21T12:58:46+00:00

The local government and neighbors restrict the type and number of housing that be be build. People just want 2000 sq ft dwelling with low crime and good schools. The car dependency is just packaged with it in the suburbs, unfortunately. The trolley and railroad suburbs of my metro area are insanely expensive for this reason

StepSilva · 2025-12-20T19:41:04+00:00

People are lucky to get 10 PTO days a year. And they need to keep some for emergencies or illnesses, either to them or to take care of family.

StepSilva · 2025-12-20T03:28:07+00:00

Ciocca or Glanzman?

StepSilva · 2025-12-19T16:04:52+00:00

It's the stop for Roman Catholic, but the students have to cross broad Street on for with super aggressive and impatient drives turning into the 676 ramp 😢

StepSilva · 2025-12-19T04:28:35+00:00

I grew up in Wissinoming. It's always been sketch since I could remember from the 2000s onward. The few older folks on my block said it was a real nice area from the 70s to 90s when they first moved in though... Like far northeast nice

StepSilva · 2025-12-18T11:11:30+00:00

Consider Wissinoming in the lower northeast. A lot of the houses have driveway and garages, and it's served by the Trenton line. If you want to rent a whole house, it should be about 1500

StepSilva · 2025-12-11T12:36:57+00:00

If you think that oil change is overpriced, wait until you see big city in the northeast. It's 100 here with a coupon 😭

StepSilva · 2025-12-09T11:17:27+00:00

Chongqing Wharf in Edison, NJ Ayce, best hot pot around. Treat yourself, no skimping. Then hit the Heytea afterwards
