I rarely frequented this spot. Seems like it was definitely catered more to a different type of clientele than I'm used to. But, I do have a memorable moment...
It was NYE maybe about a decade ago, and my live electronic duo was booked for two sets as part of the entertainment for the night. But, whoever booked us described us as "live DJs", which we definitely aren't (we use synths and beat machines and samplers.... more like live loopers/producers instead of DJs). Anyway, it was an open bar type party, so management was probably expecting a DJ to keep the vibes up for the night. And then, we set up with our crazy rig... many flashing pieces of equipment... and did our (very weird) thing for the first set.
Now, we definitely piqued the interest of some in the crowd. They were curious about our gear and our technique and all. But the manager/owner? He was NOT feeling it. I mean, he was probably expecting a DJ to play the hits, right? So, he approaches us during set break and was completely honest with us (and very professional, actually), told us that we weren't what he was expecting and asked us not to do the second set, but still kept to the contract (free drinks all night, plus our pay).
It was the first (and only) time in my music "career" where I've been cut short, so, a little embarrassing. All the same, we got paid to do half the work, and got drunk off some pretty heady beers, so not the worst night, and not the worst memory!

That’s just for drawings. No actual rail work.

Easily will balloon to $4 billion dollars. I wonder where they’re going to get that money?

Like you have no idea what north/south vs East/west are or the mileage involved for such a silly idea.

Reply to Mayoral candidate Helen Gym and ex-Mayor Michael Nutter clashed during a live event: ‘We are just in total disagreement’ by thefirststoryteller
After watching the video, the inquirer's take of the interview was disorienting. Voters are worried about corruption in politics; his questions were about swapping positions on charter schools,and he asked about her conflict of interest and did allude to the union league visit, after she declared a protest to the Union league. These are totally fair questions, and important for voters to understand what politicians say versus actions they take.
The inquirer had a very poor idea to just talk about the drama (out of proportion) and not the actual issues. Very disappointing.

that’s disappointing. there’s no nuance at all with these organizations and as a “leftist” i’m ashamed frankly. wonder how they feel when/if they get assaulted and robbed.

I’m talking about the brick 4 story thing along most of the south side of that block of Walnut. It’s like a long rectangle. No entrances on the street or anything.

Sometimes it’s not the biggest thing. I have a kid with autism. Highest on my list was where his best friend was going. It took so long to make that friend that I wasn’t taking chances. 10/10 would make the same choice again. It doesn’t really matter how good the school is on paper if your kid is sad all the time because he can’t make friends.
