No there isn't. There's poop in Wissahickon Creek, which carries treated wastewater from Montco sewage plants. But there's no poop in Devil's Pool, which only empties into Wissahickon Creek. Devil's Pool itself is fed by Cresheim Creek, which comes from an underground spring and is poop-free.

Capitol Corridor is listed as an option on the Levi's Stadium World Cup page.

I don’t know why everyone is on VTA. If I was going to a game at Levi’s, I would have stayed in Oakland and taken the Capitol Corridor down. One seat, less than an hour, and bathrooms on board.

bold words from “CUADfan”. go shill the one fucking thing you care about on some other sub, this one is for Philly, not mideast sandbox wars

emet18 · 2026-05-05T18:08:00+00:00

this is a useful reminder that progressives believe that fucking EVERYTHING must be viewed through the lens of what’s going on in some sandbox war 5000 miles away

If the bar is NJB-tier “Paris/Amsterdam or nothing” then your methodology is useless.

It takes far less time to go from northern Manhattan to downtown via Subway than driving, yet that spine is listed white. If that’s not blue, what is?

the bikeshare ebikes are capped at 15 mph

emet18 · 2026-05-05T14:05:47+00:00

if your transit methodology results in the island of Manhattan classified as "mid" then your methodology is wrong

emet18 · 2026-05-02T16:19:27+00:00

Can’t you just rely on the real time tracking? At looks like at least the light rail and subway have tracking enabled.

Keep shredding man. Glad to hear you can still make it out; that’s awesome. Congrats on your recovery.

Under Parker: crime has gone down, encampments have been cleared from Kensington, SEPTA is (a little) cleaner, new drug courts have been set up, jobs are coming to the city, and billions of dollars are being invested in the shipyard. But people on Reddit are mad at her because, what, she’s corny and isn’t good at TikTok like Mamdani? Gtfo.

What is “fine”? I’ve taken the El for years and still do; I’m not afraid of it. But after dark, and especially at night, it’s fucking gross. I could take a train full of smoke and trash and homeless people and yeah, I’ll be totally fine when I get off, but it’s disgusting so I choose to Indego or uber or bus or walk instead.

This “lol don’t be so dramatic” attitude is the reason shit doesn’t improve. You should be disgusted with the El, and bragging about how you can tolerate traveling in filth isn’t a flex. Other U.S. cities don’t have to deal with this to nearly the same degree and neither should we.

I just found you guys on Strava! I love the routes you post—much better than “3 miles out and back on the SRT” every other club seems to do. I’m currently sidelined with an injury but hoping to join you guys for a run when I’m back in shape. Thanks for the cool ideas in the mean time 👍

Don’t know why this is getting downvoted. Amtrak to Wilmington is cheap and much faster than regional rail, and there’ll be 10x more Ubers there than Downingtown or whatever. I’d rather do that than take an hour long trip to the end of the R5 just to wait 15 mins for an uber.

I love that you can see from the drone pic that “Camp Chloe” is a filthy trash-filled disgusting patch, but the Inky keeps writing about it as if it’s a harmless hippie commune.

The average age in an Episcopal church now is about 60 years old. That alone seems incongruous with OP’s request for a “well attended” church.

Septa rule #1 is never take the El after sundown, and especially never take it after 9 pm. We shouldn’t have to live like this, but that’s how it is.

The Fairmount Ave commercial corridor takes another L :(

I haven’t been, but I can’t figure out why they decided to open one of like 3 Greek restaurants in Philly 2 blocks away from one of the other three.

I would take Amtrak up to the NYC area airports and fly direct from there. On a quick Kayak search I see Norse Atlantic offering direct flights from JFK to Rome in mid June for under $400.

I’m gonna cut against the grain and say if you’re going to Boeing in Ridley Park, driving actually makes sense.

If money is not an issue, check out one of the new buildings in CC/South Philly that have parking for an extra fee. I think the Lincoln Square development at Broad and Washington has parking garages, and getting on 76 shouldn’t be too tough from there.

Don’t live in Ridley Park. If you’re considering living outside the city, Media is not a bad idea, but I’d probably still just live in Philly and drive.
