Are you GenZ or just new around here? I am talking about the park across the street from it on the south side of Walnut, which is not there any longer from, like, 15-16 years back (take a trip down the memory lane on Google Street View).

There is nothing except for mediocre pizza in West Philly

We used to see this all the time in New Orleans. Sometimes it was theft, sometimes it was repo.

PA Criminal defense lawyer here. u/muffpatty is correct and u/mehndeke is slightly off.

The max for an F1 is 20 years (or 10-20 under the min/max rule). 18 Pa. Section 1103

The max for murder 3 is 40 years (or 20-40 under the min-max rule). 18 Pa. Section 1102(d)

If you’re convicted of an F1 you could only be sentenced to more than 20 years if its stacked consecutively with something else. But murder is not an F1, it’s in a category of its own in PA.

ETA: there are also exceptions under the mandatory minimum sentences for 2nd and 3rd strikes for repeat violent convictions. Strike 3 has a 25 year mandatory minimum

You are correct that 76 is labeled East/West but I always think of it as N/S because I grew up off the North East Extension and Philly is just always considered “South”.

I’m terms of “silly”. Is it silly for literally hundreds of people sit idly on a stretch of blacktop while their engines idle needlessly, or is better to drive a little further half the time and likely get home quicker?

It's absolutely tangible. Only 22% of households in Manhattan own a car, and it's one of the richest places in the country.

What's the solution? Further integrated cycling & transit networks, for one. If the MFL were even slightly cleaned up it would alleviate this significantly. If it didn't feel like a death trap biking through NoLibs down to Old City through the 95/676 interchange, way way more people would take up cycling.

It's an opportunity for car rental companies to market towards people that only desire occasional use of a car, and would rather sell their personal vehicle due to the hassle.

The long-term solution is to de-incentivize car commuting in NE Philly entirely by capping or reducing the capacity for 95, but we're a long ways away from that being a politically popular suggestion.

Welcome to the world of government consultants. They do the work, because the state doesn't have the ability to.

There's an old joke, probably rooted in reality, about contractors having boats or expensive automobiles called, "Change Order."

Portuguese Food Checklist

Hell yeah

it's these they're after

It should either be a non-bailable offense or it shouldn’t be.

You should not be stuck in jail simply because you have less money for bail.

Bail shouldn’t be set in the first place for murder, which would require a change in law for third degree murder charges.

How many busses can you buy for $2.9B? LOL

OP said 17th and Catherine. Be safe.

Np

“public transit brings crime” is one of the most classic racist dog whistles out there. so if you didn’t mean it that way, you should probably stop saying it.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

17th and catherine

so many better things this could go to that would benefit way more people than a train connecting a bunch of parking lots.

do the boulevard subway. or at least use the alignment for KOP rail that went along 202

This is a wild idea and it’s hard to articulate how bad and impractical it is but I think we should try it just to see what happens.

This is bullshit, SEPTA does not block Philadelphia projects.

SEPTA rebuilt the entire elevated section of the MFL line not that long ago, just signed a contract for a new trolley fleet, is making all subway stations ADA accessible, and is looking for a new fleet of subway cars.

Koreana should take the City Tap House space and put in a soju bar.
