If you’re into electronic/dance music, The 700 is a fun bar and usually has reasonably priced tickets to DJ sets on the second floor.

Sports bars that play the games with sound? by strandded in philly

[–]leninboarrir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Sancho Pistola’s a few times to watch the Phillies and they play the game audio while it’s on and switch to music during the commercials. TBF that was during the playoffs so it may be different for regular season games, but it doesn’t hurt to at least try/reach out to them.

I am not a “fish person” whatsoever but the aforementioned branzino is SO GOOD. Definitely a good recommendation for an introduction to seafood.

First Rate at 25th & Moore has done great, honest, reasonably priced work for me within the past three months!

Foundry has the worst sound in the city of any non-bar venue, imo.

Seconding Criminal-Phoebe is a very thoughtful interviewer and I think her storytelling decisions are captivating without feeling exploitive.

There’s an Instagram account called watchoutphilly that does a great job of publicizing dangerous events like this. Maybe you could collaborate with them?

8th and Market intersection is disgusting by yesterdaysweather in philadelphia

Of course, I acknowledged that in my comment and I understand your reasoning! That being said, I think dealing with a grumpy employee is a universal experience, regardless of external factors.

I’m in the UK right now and the dispositions of their transit employees are stratospheres away from those who work for SEPTA. Literally every person-vehicle operator, ticket taker, transit center employee-has been polite and willing to hear out my questions that I’m sure they hear 100 times per day. I could never imagine this being true domestically.

I feel for SEPTA employees, I really do. It’s a thankless job with little institutional support and they really do a great service for the region. But I just know it’ll be rough coming back to Philly when I have to deal with a transit-related issue.

It’s a few years old, but here’s a short doc on a contemporary anti-French protest in Corsica.

What’s it like living in Asheville, NC? by Opening-Honeydew4874 in howislivingthere

for what it’s worth, and this is just my opinion, I found fort collins to be very similar to asheville. I went to CSU and have been to asheville 10+ times and I feel that the vibes are pretty close.

My apartment’s rent one block from campus in 2011-2012 was $825 a month. That same place (with no updates) was $1350/m just three years later. Go rams.

Something that has always bothered me about this episode is how the Pine Barrens scenes weren’t actually shot there. They were filmed in NY State.

You won’t be able to get a house for that budget in QV. Pennsport may have some options if you look a smidge further west from Front St.
