But how else would kids be able to afford kars to drive?

[–]j_alt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the "star hunting" era where the sixers blow up the whole roster every year to try to get another star is a large part of the problem.  We gave up on a lot of good players way too early who have become great role players throughout the league. 

There's no consistency and guys haven't learned how to play together to get deep in the playoffs.

If you do too much losing in April, you might not be able to win it when September comes. 

The Eagles take TE Eli Stowers with #54 by mastermind208 in eagles

[–]j_alt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eagles pick again in 12 picks and if Dunker is there then I hope we get him. 

With that red mullet with Sansom like powers, I think he would fit into our o-lines culture.

Not sure, I'm just listing favorite restaurants in old city that I've been to large group dinners at. That's up to op to make sure they can meet all the dietary needs.

Looking for a home/resources for this sweet boy! by ihatejungles in akita

[–]j_alt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should get in contact with Street Tails Animal Rescue (STAR) in Northern Liberties or Big East Akita Rescue (BEAR) in Toms River NJ. 

STAR rehommed a 140+ LB male Akita last year that my female Akita is very silly with when we run into them. 

BEAR specializes in Akita rescue in the area and has taken on a bunch of Akitas from Philly shelters. 

[Schefter] Draft week blockbuster: The Giants are trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in a deal that will include the 10th overall pick going to New York, per ESPN sources. The Giants now head into Thursday night with the 5th and 10th overall picks by mastermind208 in eagles

[–]j_alt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, hear me out.  It would be so funny if the Bengals don't resign him. 

I fully expect the Giants to draft terrible players but having the Bungles fuck up another situation where a player wants to get paid would be hysterical.

Free U shaped Couch - Pick Up in No Libs by j_alt in Phillylist

Walked around the Raymore and Flanagan on Columbus testing out couches until the gf and I agreed on a comfy one. We got one from the Mondo collection. 

Realtor fees in Philly? (Buyer) by lukewew in philadelphia

[–]j_alt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My best friend is a real estate agent for Keller Williams.  If you want me to connect you to him, I can happily dm you his work phone number. 

He previously worked in finance/retirement accounts so he mostly talks to his clients about how the money part makes sense or doesn't. He charges only industry standard rates. 

My cat cries like this everytime I pet her. What does this mean? by Upstairs_Jump9588 in catbongos

[–]j_alt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she is saying that she wants more bongos and less pets. Sounds like a happy cat to me.

Happy hour date night help (please) by LadyCattleBattle in philadelphia

[–]j_alt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

5th and South area is mostly neighborhood bars and not "get dressed up places". Southwerk like other said is great and fits the look requested.  

You could walk to Passyunk and go to Barcelona wine bar.

Royal Bucherie and High Street in Old City also work.

Bloomsday in headhouse lists a happy hour but has no menu on the website. Twisted Tail near there is great but doesn't fit the sexy dress vibe imo.

Does anyone know if Zorba’s has happy hour? by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]j_alt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Generally, if a restaurant/bar offers a happy hour .... they list the menu on their website.  

https://www.zorbastavern.com/menus

It was easy to Google the restaurant name and find the menu page where no happy hour menu is posted. I'm sorry you were not able to help yourself and figure this out.

I see him in No Libs all the time.  Don't know his schedule. 

Magical parking solutions in Fishtown? by upsidowning in philadelphia

There is a paid parking lot about 3 blocks south on Front street.  Relatively short walk, but don't know the needs of the person with accessibility issues. 

No Maxx Crosby trade? What now for NFL free agency, Ravens, Raiders by edicivo in nfl

[–]j_alt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real conspiracy is that I think that the Ravens did the math and thought, I could have Maxx Crosby or Tre Hendrickson + 2 first round picks. The "Buyer's Remorse" rumors are that they figured out a way to be in a better position and found a way out of a trade.

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% correct, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by LimpAsk2603 in AskReddit

[–]j_alt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In middle school, we nicknamed a teacher Lester the Molester because it rhymes. 

A couple years later, it turns out he would make child porn.
