As much as I'd rather this money go toward infill lines within the city, interurban lines like this are seriously lacking in the US. Connecting a growing population hub to the city center with rail is a great move. Especially when it'll only cost $2/ride.

With the trolley modernization, SEPTA is looking to connect the 15 to 69th St. That'll expand access to KOP jobs for people living along that line as well.

Edit: it sucks we have to pick and choose which of these projects get funded. In a better world, all SEPTA's expansion and upgrade plans would be paid for.

The problem arises when you we start to get into who should be the arbiter of this decision. Again, you’re saying some people should be able to make a defense, and some shouldn’t. Although watching obviously guilty people form a defense can be repugnant, it would be more repugnant to see innocent people rail roaded by an unequal justice system.

We already have a justice system that can do exactly what you’re saying subliminally based on things like race, due to inherent biases. If you think adding more possible manipulation into the system would be a better thing, that’s where I strongly disagree.

I'm not a lawyer but it's not as if the defense can drag things out indefinitely so at some point there's a judge forcing a case to trial, right? So it's really a matter of degree. Under our laws the defense in this case has every right to mount a case that considers things like intent, premeditation, whether a murder was the product of another crime, etc. I simply don't think that's how it should be.

There shouldn't be degrees of murder. If a person is dead because of your intentional actions that could reasonably be expected to cause death, it's murder, period, not manslaughter, second degree murder, etc. Now I admit that would strike many people as unfair and my own instinct is to agree. "But he didn't mean to kill him, just rough him up. Who knew he had a heart condition?" However, it's much closer to how non-western societies view things and I've come to believe that's a better view.

As always, you take fantastic wild life photos

I'm sorry but this is all I could think of after reading your comment

They are highly available and are good cars in general. The Honda Acura car culture loves to put newer Honda rims on older Honda cars. It has a lot to do with Latin car culture.

Will forever remember the clam pizza I got there that had actual clam shells on it

I got a beer there once, took forever when there was about 8 people in the entire bar. When the beer came there was absolutely no carbonation.

Idk why these people love stock Honda Accord rims. I’ve seen these newer rims on older Hondas. They definitely steal them and re sell them. If you have this car in a higher trim get wheel locks.

The rail that goes out there is actually pretty decent I used to take it as part of my commute, but it’s a pain in the ass the use. I guess it gets like 90% there so they figure why not extend it but it’s like priority 10005 for actual riders of SEPTA, and as many have said it would probably be better served as a bus rapid transit.

We were detecting along the Delaware during low tide under the Betsy Ross bridge in the 90's (when you could just walk back there).

Two dogs came out of nowhere and blocked our exit along the beach (you have to jump down to get to the beach).

They stood above us growling. We had plenty of rocks if we needed them but we just waited for them to leave.

A lot of people walked their dogs back there without a leash so I knew it would be just a matter of time before the dogs would scare and leave.

I guess just be careful for two and four legged danger wherever you go.

FYI you can park at the casino across the street for free. They have tons of space and don’t care

Definitely dead. No one goes out in Grad Hospital at 1am and makes it.... /S

Yeah it was a most recent comment lol

I hate old odyessys, lol. The drivers piss me off here.

Try growing tomatoes anywhere outside and your opinion of the bushy-tailed assholes will get more in line with reality.

The majority of the 3800 Chestnut block will be razed for a new science lab building.

They swap them onto their older model Hondas. Crv, accord, Civic, integra, Odyssey. Poor people shit.

my local mechanic gives me a great deal on rimjobs

The park was nice. I don’t know what it has to do with the building City Tap House was in.

I’m fine with the Radian, really. It’s good. The block is livelier now. The big steps are decent. People hangout there. It’s good. I wish Penn didn’t get rid of the park behind the library but whatever. There’s enough green space there.

This is correct. Mars is tough to see with that much light pollution and was overhead last night at this time.
