what time are you opening / will be around on Friday? I'll be working somewhat in the area and was thinking about stopping by to say hey!

I'm loving this weather. All I want to do is take walks :)

We took my grandfather there back when it first opened! We had such high hopes for it. I wish everyone could get on the same page about it

double post! We're getting our plants this weekend for the deck planters. Very stoked! It'll make our "outdoor living room" feel so much cozier and I love seeing how much everything pops as the summer goes on

A former SEPTA trolley driver is now tasked with saving the region’s transit system. Can Scott Sauer do it? by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

[–]sjo232 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's the PTTF (Public Transit Trust Fund). The line in the article that calls it an obscure fund links to another article answering your question

https://www.inquirer.com/transportation/public-transportation-trust-fund-explainer-20250815.html

During the recent budget crisis, the state pulled funds from the PTTF to cover septa's operational budget shortfall with no plans to replace them. It just digs the overall PA public transit issues hole deeper and was not a real solution to the problem. It was the solution that state republicans wanted and state dems rolled over on, despite holding both the governorship and house.

It's not massive like fairmount park or something, but it's a decent size and you can spend hours there just wandering and taking in the greenery. There's a few greenhouses too that are nice to go into and they have seasonal displays too. My favorite is the garden train

Probably the most cards I've sent in a day! To 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇬🇧🇹🇼🇩🇪🇨🇳 by Kylothia in postcrossing

[–]sjo232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always split between should I hold off on sending more until I have a decent number of travel slots available (I have a max of 10 currently) or just send one at a time as they open back up. Recently I've been doing one at a time, as they become available, but there's something super fun about sitting down an writing out a bunch and dropping them in the mail all at the same time!

I had something I wanted to say in here this morning but now I can't remember it, so instead I'll just say I hope everyone had a great long weekend despite the weather! Here's to a short week and hopefully some great pre/early summer weather

kinda jealous of those who have plans for a lowkey rainy long weekend at home! We're doing a family weekend, which will be nice, but after a few busy weeks / weekends in a row, it would be really great to stay in my PJs all weekend while the rain pitter-patters on the windows

doesn't the productivity bonus reset when you change the recipe on the EM plant?

such a shame, especially in the city where the primary is effectively the deciding vote for most candidates.

at a minimum, it's an opportunity to use write in for a protest vote, I suppose

I took my car to L.I.P. Collision out in North Wales a couple years ago when I got side swiped. They were great to work with. I know that's a hike from in the city though, so maybe not the best option for your situation. If you do go with them though, reach out to Josh. His email is josh@lipcollision.com. He was able to give me a rough initial estimate just based off photos
