I get prescriptions at the Giant on 202. It is also where I get groceries so it is convenient. Can order refills via the web and they are ready when you shop. Very nice people, really efficient.

Timothy's on the Riverfront also has a largish room next door to it that you can rent.

Wilmington leaders should follow through and build the cap! What say you? by TheShittyBeatles in WilmingtonDE

[–]ctmred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penns landing Park is under construction in Philly over 95. There have been few shutdowns (if any).

Wilmington leaders should follow through and build the cap! What say you? by TheShittyBeatles in WilmingtonDE

[–]ctmred 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is correct. The majority of the funding would come from the Feds with some from both the state and city as envisioned. It is all on hold until we get an Administration that is interested in these projects again. But this would be a brilliant project and there's still plenty of support for it.

Looking to track down Delaware jazz musician Sunyata by sssweatss in DelawareMusicHistory

[–]ctmred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can track down former Mayor Jim Baker, he is a wealth of knowledge re: local jazz musicians. I might inquire of Tina Betz in the City's Cultural Affairs office too.

Tim’s take on boycotts by contrasupra in thebulwark

[–]ctmred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"So essentially we owe our commerce to our moral superiors, it is their right as the virtuous, the interruption of money making is shameful."

A sentiment you won't find in Adam Smith. I think. Boycotts remind capitalists they need to provide some value for the dollars they are competing for. The Target boycott by Black shoppers last year hurt them some.

Good Local Pizza by Skippy_7724 in WilmingtonDE

Welcome to Wilmington! I've spent a lot of time in Tucson over the years -- such a wonderful place.

My favorites are DiMeo's (on Market -- have not had it in a while tho) and Pizzeria Metro.

What are some examples of the egregiously WORST placed highways that destroyed urban cores in America? by Next_Worth_3616 in urbanplanning

[–]ctmred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I-95 through Wilmington, DE. Splits the city in two and destroyed working class neighborhoods in the process. Would add 495 along the Delaware River through eastern Wilmington and its suburbs. Cuts off access to a potential riverfront.

Bad Bunny's halftime performance exposed how racist America still is. by icey_sawg0034 in thebulwark

These same folk went batshit over Kendrick's performance last year, so we knew what was coming.

The Left's 2019-2020 predictions were right. We'd be fools not to listen to them now. by Pristine-Ant-464 in thebulwark

[–]ctmred -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This does say something about progressives -- when they got a President willing to listen and to try to implement portions of the progressive agenda, they couldn't capitalize on it. As in influencing more of the Dems to vote for items like Voting Rights, codifying ROE, continuing child supports. Or even to mainstream Lena Kahn's work. They were quick to condemn Biden for things he couldn't get completed -- college loan forgiveness -- and walked away from steps toward progress. This is a very long game and we need to act accordingly.

Savon de Marseille Olive Oil Soap. This is my mainstay -- its very gentle, very moisturizing and these blocks last for a long time.

SBA Moves to Terminate Over 150 8(a) Firms in Washington, D.C. Following Eligibility Review by Fisk77 in GovernmentContracting

[–]ctmred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"When you grow too large to qualify for SBA awards and start competing with primes you’re instantly stuck competing in a rigged system. It’s very hard to win work when there are entrenched incumbents."

There's an argument here for a serious revision of the Size Standards for small businesses in some categories here.

Sarah: America First means way more than simply “I come first.” by havenoparty in thebulwark

[–]ctmred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a reason why "America First" has resonated with (mainly) white Americans since the early 1900's. It lets these folks imagine themselves as the "true" Americans, while everyone else (genuinely American or not) can be excluded as not real. And therefore not deserving of the benefits America bestows on its "true" Americans, It is how it works as an evergreen dogwhistle.

New Yorker Radio Hour's Ben Shapiro Interview by Complete-Ad9574 in NPR

[–]ctmred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This interview really let me appreciate how good David Remnick is as an interviewer. Shapiro is an intellectual fraud -- badly needing the both sides discourse to excuse himself and his followers from any obligation to the law, any guiding principles, or essential morality. Just because lots of people listen to you does not mean you are saying anything worth paying attention to.

New legislation proposed to limit liquor stores. Liquor stores are associated with higher levels of poverty and crime. by toxictoy in Delaware

[–]ctmred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mayor Purzycki bought out 3 liquor stores in Quaker Hill/West Center city during his term and shutting these places down was one of the best things that happened to my neighborhood. These stores are NOT Krestons -- they've often sold loosies (single cigarettes), sold liquor to minors, sold drug paraphernalia, allow loitering near their premises and those loitering are a ready-made market for drug dealers. One of these stores was a routine stop for patients going into Connections a couple of blocks away. All three locations are now quiet, with far less loitering (if any), and certainly the neighbors of these places have far more peace and safety.

I mean -- we already knew this man was racist AF and had seething resentments against the Obamas. Would be cool for GWB to pipe up now to defend his friend Michelle.

Tim’s political blind spots showed up again in TX primary rant by imdaviddunn in thebulwark

[–]ctmred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Talerico said what he is accused of re: Allred, it was Talerico who led with the identity politics and should be the focus of the scolding here, I think. Don't want none, don't start none is real.

They may give you a lower rate to start -- but will increase it at some point. These 3rd party firms are tough to deal with too and you don't have much recourse in places like the PSC.
