The issue is that a lot of the trades workers that roll into the city with work trucks don't have to pay the tickets, and their company just sees tickets as a minor expense of doing business in the city that is billed to the client. These types of vehicles need either like $2k+ parking tickets or an immediate tow, some kind of significant punishment that would actually cause the companies to tell employees not to illegally park

That ShopRite is awful. Always reeks of old fryer grease, and it has by far the worst layout I have EVER seen in a grocery store. Name something you want to buy, and there's a 50% chance the options are split into two different places.
Sparkling water? Some are in one aisle, some in another. Same with tortilla chips, eggs, bacon, milk, shredded cheese. Just incredibly stupid

I recently learned that my MIL - who moved from Philly to south Jersey in the 70's - and her whole family called them subs. I was surprised to hear this

For sure. I think they are regularly very packed, so filling the bar to capacity with regulars will be easy

I like pizza hut but it could just be nostalgia because it was one of only a few options growing up. Either way, the floor on pizza is ridiculously high

This is exactly what I complained about the other day. PPA has nothing to do with public safety/service, just revenue generation

Reply to What’s the scoop on Big Charlie’s? by doughnutsgoat
Back in 2016 I was hired by the Chiefs to get footage of the place as they watched the first Chiefs playoff game in a while. I was walking around with a camera on a monopod and people kept asking who the footage was for. When I said that it was for the Chiefs themselves, I became the hero of the bar, everyone was trying to buy me drinks lmao. Long story short, it's a friendly place, don't be intimidated, just wear your Chiefs gear and you'll be welcomed. I'm sure if you just ask someone how they came to be a Chiefs fan in Philly, you'll strike up a conversation instantly. Just get there early, the bar was plenty packed for a wild card game in 2016, I'm sure it will be crazy packed for the Super Bowl

20th street between Shunk and wolf would be a gold mine. No less than a dozen double parkers at all times

This is what pisses me off about the PPA. All they care about is revenue, the don't even bother with the facade of serving the public.
Parked in the crosswalk? Who gives a fuck.
Parked on the sidewalk? Fuck you, not my problem.
Meter expired for 3 minutes? HOLY FUCK YOU'RE A MENACE TO SOCIETY AND MUST BE STOPPED! PAY YOUR FINE YOU PSHYCOPATH

Never even heard of it until this post. Also, it seems like there aren't enough buses going East/West in South Philly. Just Washington, Tasker/Morris, and Snyder

Oof this could be a rough winter for you my friend. They barely plow or salt roads at all when it snows. Is it possible to discuss WFH with your job?

For real. Hockey isn't all that popular compared to the other major sports and you never really hear people going out of their way to shit on hockey

Yeah I think you're right with this take. Last year the Union was competitive but the other teams weren't, and as everyone talked about how much it sucks to be a Philadelphia fan, I was like "Hey, they Union are great!" and it seemed to piss people off more lmao
