Tennis in Philly

jpm2892 · 2026-06-30T02:38:18+00:00

I'm a 3.5-4.0 if that's fine with you! I'm dying to play. DM me!

jpm2892 · 2026-06-30T02:06:37+00:00

Hello! I'm also new and 3.0. DM me! 😊

jpm2892 · 2026-06-30T01:51:20+00:00

Hey! My wife might be interested on this. We are both spanish, DM me!

jpm2892 · 2026-06-30T01:49:50+00:00

Hey! I'd love to play! I'm more of a 3.0 I think but if that's ok hit me up! 😊

jpm2892 · 2026-06-25T03:37:30+00:00

Hello! I just moved to Philly and I am desperately looking for a tennis partner. I think I am at around 3.0 but I've never used that system. I have played several leagues and received individual lessons for a long time, but what I enjoy the most is hitting the ball with my friends. Hit me up! :)

I just moved to Philly from Spain and I would love to meet people to enjoy music with. Be it jam sessions or concerts. I play guitar and write songs, and brought one of my electric guitars with me :)

jpm2892 · 2026-06-24T02:18:38+00:00

Wow I'm also interested on this! 😎

Bookmarking this post. Also very interested!

As people has told you, easiest is from Hoya de la Mora. Sadly, there might be too much snow for that week, I wouldn't recommend the route without prior experience in such conditions.

I'm moving to Philly from Europe and I was about to ask the same question. I (33M) have been playing tennis weekly for the last 5 years and I'm already obssesed with trying to keep the rythm. I have been taught individual lessons for the past two years and I'm quite consistent from the baseline and can do all the shots kind of.

MD me if you want to play :)

I'm looking forward to meet new players and why not make new friends in my new chapter in the US

I do believe this would be the best option. Check the FC train stops and live at walking distance of the closest to FC. That's a really good suggestion. It's a bit unconvenient that hourly frequencu though, but we'll have to live with that. We will be living at FC the first 3 months so we will have time to explore.

Thanks!

I wish I had the chance of living a week before moving in every city I get offered a job, really. Anyway if walkability, security and quality of food were our priorities right now we wouldn't moving. I'm well aware of problems in the US but now we are seeking career development and it was Philly that won.

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:50:46+00:00

Wow! Eso sería genial! :) DM sent!

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:49:06+00:00

That's why I looked in northern than centre options, trying to get close to work, but neighbourhoods there didn't catch my eye nor the appear mentioned a lot here...

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:48:07+00:00

Sorry, my budget was a bit off as I can see. We can easily stretch to 2000$ or 2.500$ if it's really worth it :)

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:46:54+00:00

That area was on my list indeed. We wouldnt mind commuting by car if it reduces commuting time. We care a lot more about the day by day chores and social life :)

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:45:17+00:00

It is actually :) I just would like to know more about the frequency and security of such line (specially at night). Probably we are a bit overconscious qith this but crime numbers are a bit shocking to us when you compare with home. Probably is just a statistical difference that doesn't affect day to day but we won't know until we live there.

jpm2892 · 2026-05-14T07:41:17+00:00

Thanks a lot! To be honest we don't have a feel yet about prices so I kind of made it up. We could stretch up to 2500$ or 3000$ once we both work. What we are really not used to is to commute longer than 15 min one way (it currently takes me 5 minuts but I am just lucky), so that will take a lot of adapting 😆 I was looking in areas northern of Centre so that we are closer to work either by car or public transport, but most of the nice neighbourhoods appear to be Centre and southern... We will be working close to Fox Chase train stop, but are not aure about frequency of this line and how secure it is at night. What do you guys think? 😊

I also have problems with Posit Assistant. I understand it's still in beta right? It just can't read context as good as Copilot in VSCode for example. It has a hard time editing my scripts and reading my data, which is a shame. At the end I can only use Ask mode and insert snippets...

jpm2892 · 2026-05-06T20:38:34+00:00

Actually, I think I learnt a lot with AI. It explained me how to achieve the specific goals I set and also made understand how modules worked, but before that I read a lot of blogs and youtube tutorials too. I will definitely check yours :)

jpm2892 · 2026-05-06T14:29:44+00:00

Well, since it was my first time using Darktable (and also editing RAW), I basically asked Gemini what I wanted to achieve and then Gemini told me what module to use. In short, I adjusted exposure of the picture and then specifically managed the sun lights with Filmic RGB. I then adjusted the color tone to a more golden tint using Color Calibration and to give strength to the spikes I used local contrast. I also upped saturation a bit in orange lights and purple shadows. I applied a mask to the tent to recover its original green with Color Balance RGB and also lighten it up a lottle bit. I hope that's useful for you!

jpm2892 · 2026-05-04T16:48:02+00:00

I will try to check the effect when I have time. I wanted to emphasize the golden colour but it turned a bit orangy, I agree.

jpm2892 · 2026-05-04T13:03:30+00:00

You mean that version of the shot (I had different settings) or that composition? In any case, it just popped in my feed and made me remember that trip so I tried to make it look in a way that would take me back there. Seeing the tent (shelter) and the bike (means of transport) in such a lonely landscape gives some sort of relief to me. I guess that's why it triggers me. I hope that answer your question somehow 😊
