In South Philly, if you abandon it, they will park in it. Without fail.

It will take 5 years to finish this, then another 5 to fix the shoddy work the construction teams do because why do it right first time when the city is more than willing to pay you to do it twice?

Mediocre

> Why do people still park on the road?

Because this area is filled with entitled pricks who do whatever they want and think rules are only suggestions that do not apply because it would inconvenience them.

after 18 years downtown, including 8 years off East Passyunk as it became what it is now. if I need to further my South Philly bona fides, my grandfather had a diner on the land on Front/Oregon where Tony Luke's now sits. I know what I'm talking about...

> not wanting to deal with outsiders

pretty much all of South Philly tbh

I used PhilaPets when I lived in South Philly. They will give you a magnet with a QR code that they scan when they arrive, which I loved and made me feel at ease. http://www.philapets.com/

I would strongly recommend against boarding a cat. It seriously stresses them out and is upsetting for them to not be in their usual territory. I’d recommend a daily pet sitter to visit and keep the cat home if possible. They would rather be in their home without you than in a strange place with loads of other people/cats.

you can thank the Ivy League neighbors for that... all of those well paid professors, academics, and medical folks gotta live somewhere.

> he waved at her and started cursing saying, "i'm not gonna fuckin run you over!" and started cursing us out for... walking? i yelled some choice words at him back, he asked me if i was a tough guy, and then he sped off.

Interactions like this were pretty much a part of my daily life in South Philly. It really wore me down after a while and it's partly why we're in Glenside now. The traffic is not as bad out here as in other nearby burbs, but people still drive like they've lost their minds.

> This sub really hates people having fun lol

It's more about hating things that are major intrusions into other peoples' lives. All of these events are huge headaches for people who don't want to deal with them and are hard to ignore.

Isn't that what their New Year's Day parade is for? These dudes need to get a life.

I had a fantastic experience with One Love Animal Rescue, who are based out of South Jersey but have foster placements all over the area (we picked up our kitten from her family in Delco). They are thorough in their vetting, but it's pretty painless.

Anywhere. Everywhere. Nowhere.

Just make Dean Ween's recipe:

outstanding Delco reference

People in Chestnut Hill don’t really want the city experience… they think they do but what they really want is a very isolated and WASPy experience.
