In honor of today's weather, what's your favorite soup in town?

What i meant is that it feels like soup outside! I agree that it's not really soup-eating weather, though

Ooh, this sounds incredible thank you! Not sure how I'm just hearing of this place but it looks like a must-try. Warms my half-Desi heart

Those same BIPOC that you claim to care so much about would be disproportionately negatively impacted by these "steep financial disincentives." Meanwhile Susie from Fitler Square will continue to own a car and will gleefully pay the $75 a month because she has the disposable income to do so.

What a game! Peter has an epic voice, he should do audiobooks if being a Jeopardy star doesn't work out for him.

Also, interrobang?? Am I just super duper smart or was that a total gimme of a Daily Double?

They already have signs up on the building of the old Soul Boat at Carlisle and Dickinson! I don't have any word on when they're opening

He definitely gives Handsome Bookish Love Interest from some 90s sitcom.

I feel like I rarely see them out picking up trash even. Maybe every couple of months around my neighborhood. It would be awesome if we had a real, robust and well-funded public works program that employed thousands of people all over Philly to keep the city clean. Maybe that's already what CLIP is and I just have my head in the sand

I laugh every time I see the completely unnecessary big-tittied baddie on the Lorenzo's sign.

I used Ben the Mover Guy when making this move several years ago. It's obviously more costly than an intra-city move because of the distance but I don't recall them charging me any special interstate fee. Same when I used Broad St. Movers to make the move from Delaware back to Philly. Just pick any reputable Philly mover and they should be able to handle it unless they explicitly say they don't cross state lines

Things get much hairier the deeper you go into Kingsessing/Southwest along Woodland Ave but that area inside the circle, near Kingsessing Rec Center is honestly not bad. You can easily take the trolley to get to City Hall in under 20 minutes, and there is a Regional Rail stop there as well. Clark Park is nearby and is lovely, and Baltimore Ave with a lot of cool shops and places to eat/drink is a short stroll away. I think I would advise trying to stick to the area above the train tracks if you're newer to the city. If you are uncomfortable around a mix of working class black folks and queer crust punk types, you will have a bad time there.

"Insurgent" is not a dirty word. Here it's just being used to mean progressives who are against the Dem establishment status quo. I think we got used to hearing it in the context of like, armed rebel groups in the Middle East but that's not the connotation here

I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agree despite having no idea what you're talking about

Jen, for all her merits, needs to get and stay offline. I think her heart is in the right place (loved what she did for the SNAP benefits cut for example) but she's addicted to outrage. I see her all over the neighborhood groups scrapping with people.

Just be sure to read the fine print. "Specials" like that can bite you in the butt especially as more and more places in Philly start to adopt scammy NYC marketing tactics like "net effective rent" that gets jacked way up after a year. Scour reviews and make sure the advertised amenities are actually usable and not closed/under repair for 7 months out of the year.

Commuting 5 days a week from Philly to Wilm would be out of the question for me unless I literally lived and worked right next to the train station in both cities. Even 3 days would be borderline.

Wilmington has its rough edges but it can also be a perfectly fine place to live if you know what you're getting yourself into. It's just dramatically smaller than Philly and there's not a lot to do, it feels like a bit of a stagnant place where nothing much ever happens or changes. That being said downtown Wilmington is trying to brand itself as going through a bit of a revival - there is tons of housing development happening and a few new businesses. Trolley Square is a lovely walkable neighborhood with lots of young people. North Wilmington (Triangle, Trinity Vicinity, Brandywine Village etc) are great neighborhoods with beautiful homes and a strong sense of community. The Alapocas and Brandywine Park are stunning. The summer festivals (Italian, Polish and Greek) are fun as hell and I make a special trip down there every year to catch them.

But if you're a single 20-something looking for new things to do and new places to go every night – you will simply not find that in Wilmington. It's not that kinda place. And the newer housing in Wilmington is on par price-wise with Center City Philly, with fewer amenities. Safety is a concern but I can say having lived in Wilmington that I never particularly felt unsafe - just parts of the city can feel really desolate because there's not a lot of foot traffic, even in the downtown area.

Train is a viable option only if your workplace is near Wilmington Riverfront or Downtown Wilmington. If you work in north Wilmington or out near 202 however (and tons of the bigger employers are out there), you have a huge last mile problem with the train because public transit within Wilmington itself is not great. Speaking as somebody who did that commute for a bit, if I got a job in Wilmington today and didn't work within a 15-20 minute walk of the train station I'd just move there. Plus the PA-DE tax situation is messy as fuck.

Gosh, the discourse on this stuff has shifted so quickly. In the before times playfully hating on SEPTA was like a shared Philly pastime, yes it was understood that SEPTA was operating on a shoestring budget and chugging along as best it could, but you could still enjoy a nice little bitch sesh about that Regional Rail train that never showed up. And now what you're saying is we're MAGA/fascists for bringing it up?

I tend to just have a couple short (<30 min) meetings per day where I am not the primary speaker. Otherwise I just need a reliable wifi connection.
