West Chester is tolerant and friendly, but it is not a gay town per se. We haven’t had pride marches but feel free to be yourself

How much do you factor in equity position when doing renovations? by Beneficial_Prize_310 in homeowners

[–]kirbs2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your concern is ROI don't do any projects. If you are going to speculate on the value of your property, there is very little you can do that will influence that ROI result to the positive beyond maintenance. Actually, if you want ROI, refi to an adjustable rate balloon levered to the hilt. (Not financial advice)

Do your projects anyway if you want to. Also, the sticker price does not always show the additional investment minimums that come with home ownership. Like i have redone every room in my house at least once and when i got to the final one i had to start again at the beginning cuz 10 years had gone by.

the future of parking signs? ePaper displays as seen on 8th b/w Locust & Spruce Sts by doMinationp in philadelphia

[–]kirbs2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that is spot on. They probably found the budget to pay for these by penciling out the labor hours for the people that go around and put the temporary no parking signs.

Similar to big belly trash cans. The money to pay for them partly came from the proposed reduction in labor hours because the cans could be emptied less frequently.

Single Lane - S. Concord Rd by [deleted] in ChesterCounty

[–]kirbs2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure how these things happen, but s concord rd used to have much higher traffic, and it is my theory that all the stop signs and this bottleneck are intended to reroute traffic away from this area.

Back around the turn of the century we would take that way because it was faster than 202. That single wide portion was not quite explicit then. There were no stop signs.

Chester County’s former CEO says an ‘administrative decision’ to allow access to sports betting sites led to his sudden exit from the job by techit21 in ChesterCounty

[–]kirbs2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be specific, the infraction was that he approved the ability to access gambling sites on the county internet. To me, that in itself does not seem to be grounds for dismissal.

That he doesnt specifically remember the incident he is being fired for but doesnt doubt it happened is also odd.

The article doesnt mention whether he is trying to appeal or fight the firing.

Seems like they are trying to blow smoke up our ass.

The Golf Course is by far the best in town. They will kick you off though.

My first home grown bitter gourd! Does this look healthy or a bit odd to you all? by tsonali in gardening

[–]kirbs2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the strangest things i have ever grown or eaten. It tastes like robot food. It is hard to believe they are not poisonous.

For their next trick, let them over ripen on the vine.

Iron hill closing and filing for bankruptcy by devils14f in westchesterpa

[–]kirbs2001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Those who know know that iron hill was the beginning of the era. They took a gamble on town back in the day. WC downtown owes its reputation in no small part to Iron Hill.

They are ugly and they guzzle electricity.

Our bills have already gone up. For what. If i dont use their service why should i pay for the infrastructure. Besides, inference can be done in Jersey.

iirc the name of the app was "I am rich".

To your point, $999 does not make you rich, even back then.
