So I feel like in one of the early days I saw a map that showed where they were expecting it to move, at that point it was more southwest but ever since then I haven’t been able to find another map - is there one & I’m just terrible at googling or is it just a guess at this point?

I went to an urgent care and they gave me everything I needed to get well. I know that’s not an option for everyone but I recommend if it is one for you. I’m on day four now with very light symptoms. Also I highly recommend pedialyte!

Doesn't change the fact that Nutter is a notably shitty tipper and overall restaurant patron.

I know my sinus headaches were in rare (maybe not so rare now that spring has started early) form last night. So, yes, allergies and the drastic changes of weather can affect people in more ways than they think they would.

Reply to comment by Vague_Disclosure in Every year, there are more applicants to Philly charters than seats. But demand is still lower than before the pandemic. by AbsentEmpire
If your kid doesn't get in for Kindergarten it is a long shot for any grade after. For Kindergarten all the spots are open (save siblings of enrolled students, depending on the charter) but in grade 1 on, you are applying for only a couple open spots from kids moving etc.

I would imagine it would be that during the housing boom of the pandemic, families with children in the city have traded in their homes in the city for more space in the burbs and into those school districts. The influx of new owners were majority first time home buyers with no family and kids yet. So this may just have been temporary as the city population boons. That being said I don’t have children but I dread sending my child to a school with asbestos, terrible food and no A/C, the public school system needs critical rehabilitation

It’s beyond restoration and should be scuttled for a reef.

Apple studios filming a show called Catamount. Flyers were up last week.
​
Edit: Found this on line
“Sinking Spring,” which is going by the working title “Catamount,” is set to film in the Philadelphia region from February through July, sources said.

Did you go with the veggie balls or the plant balls? One tries to mimic meat a little more, but both are good

I haven’t opposed them getting a higher wage. I oppose comparing their situation to people paid poverty wages, including more qualified adjuncts.

There’s been a few Apple TV shows filming around the area lately maybe related?

That was my thought after reading the title. Is demand lower because kids are going to public school or is it lower because people who would go to charter schools have already moved or are enrolling in private schools.

It's a good thought to explore. IMO if that's the path you want to take you're rolling the dice on your kids education. What happens if you don't get into the charter and you are forced into the public school? Do you just send your kid there and hope for better luck next year. How many years do you do this for until you say fuck it and just move.

Reply to comment by saintofhate in COVID death in Delaware County prompted a rare lawsuit over pandemic medical care by JClurvesfries
In January 2021 EMT companies were almost certainly taking basically anyone willing.
It was a dangerous and low paying job that is both physically and emotionally draining. I doubt you were signing up.
