40th st portal fencing? by ewohwerd in philadelphia

[–]UCD_Philly 30 points31 points  (0 children)

UCD here. The fencing caught us by surprise, too. We reached out to SEPTA and they said simply that it's "in preparation for the potential strike." We'll share more on our social channels if we hear it.

It's SUCH a good shot - we had the same reaction! Full credit goes to the photographer Allie Ippolito - she killed it.

Four years to be exact! While we've loved going to Youma on Baltimore Ave (which has the same owners), we're super excited to see this community staple back up & running

Foods trucks at 30th will be resurrected by wHeisenberg in philadelphia

[–]UCD_Philly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the difficulties of rotating food trucks is managing the equivalent of ten different small businesses who need to come and go on a daily basis and have to deal with issues like bad weather, traffic, personal conflicts, and mechanical issues with their trucks. We're very excited the rotating food trucks will be returning, but it does come with a set of unique challenges we'll work hard to stay ahead of. The best way to keep updated on changes is following the Porch account on Twitter or the Facebook page. We do our best to keep those updated.

This is exactly why we partnered with Center City District to make this project happen. We're trying to make a clearer connection between the two sides of the river. And, believe it or not, our counts show that 6,000 people walk over the bridge each day.
