"but limited seating"? You say that like it's a bad thing.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that a large portion of cash donations to a charity are made by people who can afford to do it?

So I'll give you the answer poor Black teens have given me. Some of them just want to live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse but most of them don't want to live this way but they have no choice. If everybody has a gun you need one too. If turning the other cheek marks you as weak and invites further transgression you have to fight back to survive. If you can't trust the cops to enforce the law when someone steals from you or assaults someone you care about, you take the law into your own hands.
It's an endless cycle of violence and retribution that often spans generations. The kid holding the gun has usually lost a father, uncle, cousin or brother to gun violence and the kid he's pointing out at has too.

There is 100% a hearing. It's called your preliminary hearing where someone from the DA's office and a judge determine you bail. That's the absolute first thing that happens in any proceedings.

Rec & royal is less bar and more nightclub. Their cocktails are awful. How did they even get on this list?

Iâm actually neither. I didnât even say anything negative about any organization. All I did was offer comment in the way the information on the site is presented.
Hereâs the problem. This city and nearly every organization in it is completely corrupt. Those wealthy white socialists in West Philly in and around Penn generally have no idea who actually pulls their strings. They just do what theyâre told is right. When whatever âmovementâ or cause does some corrupt shit, they deny everything because âWe would never do that!â. Bullshit. The powers that be have been doing it for decades and vast numbers of Philadelphians are just useful idiots in the corruption.
Youâll find out this kid is some 2nd cousin of a friend of Ramona Africa or some bullshit. Thatâs why their spending other peoples money bonding his ass out.

Yeah but we won't. There's absolutely nothing Philadelphia can do to reduce availability of guns. Thanks to SCOTUS there's not much any state or local government can do and even Congress' hands are tied. So, gotta think of what we can do which is to get these kids to stop shooting each other over stupid shit. Hell at this point just give them shooting classes so they can actually hit their targets without spraying the whole block in bullets.

I feel similarly about pizza. It's all about the cost, quality, and proximity, with proximity being the most important.

I have a little on too. Try ARS or Dock Street. Both spots are welcoming to kids.

I literally spit my coffee out when I heard on WHYY that Kenyatta motherfucking Johnson is throwing his hat into the ring for council president.

Crazy to think that on one hand we could end up with Domb/Rhynhart and Squilla, but on the other we could end up with Gym and KJ....

you're making your own flak, then catching it, then patting yourself on the back for it. you must be well off and close to retirement.

Anecdotal but I know a lot of wealthy suburbanites that donated to these bail funds.
It was a way they could say they "did something " that didn't involve actually interacting with poor minorities.

Earnest question, why? I enjoyed the beer and appreciate a place doing some farmhouse/saison styles
