The more you pay for a new car, the more you’ll regret it. You will get dings and you will get dents. Whoever is in this thread who is saying you won’t is either lying or not looking at their bumpers hard enough. But I bought a new Corolla about 3 years ago and street parked it - I was willing to accept the dents. If you’re buying a $55,000 SUV you may be less willing to accept these issues. Just my two cents.

My running club has gone there a number of times over the years and their bartenders are really good at ignoring entire sections of the bar. I waited nearly 30 minutes and just gave up. I don't like yelling for a bartender. I know that what I should have done is find a manager and take them aside to explain the situation. If it was one time I'd write it off but it is every single time we're there.

It's not, the new thing to be mad about online is using female to describe a women, even if its in a normal non pejorative context.

I would argue that deeper scratches turn to rust, and rust destroys the car body. It's not the same as an engine problem, sure, but personally I think deeper scratches should still be fixed.

I hope she makes infographics about the people who don't assist her

The answer they gave was the audits. You can find the analyses from the Office of the Controller here. Rhynhart was the Controller from January 1, 2018 to October 25, 2022, so just look through the reports from within those dates.

Drive a beater until you get yourself in a situation where you don’t have to street park, i.e get the heck out of Philly.

They'll move, they have good rep and I hear they do good business. Probably end up clustered up in the areas that already have a bunch of Breweries already. Kind of a shame. Not a ton of stuff like that up around East Falls. Friends of mine live up that way and they complain about limited going out options.

This isn’t a response to my question

/u/Squirrelous, Welcome to The War On Cars.

Also interesting. They have a website not really organized like a news site but you can read their paper!

I moved to the city not too long after buying a new car. It's been almost a year of street parking and I've gotten 2 small scrapes, nothing major just a little sad

Had a brand new car- bought the dents and dings protection insurance add-on for ten dollars extra a month - then lease ended after three years in Philly with no dents or dings parking on street in point breeze, so. Guess it’s possible to get lucky.

Why is that ambiguous?

I'll preface this by acknowledging that I've only lived here for a short time. That being said, I haven't been impressed at all with the local government of Philadelphia from the city council up to the mayor. To me, Rhynhart is a good strong push in the right direction. She seems to be the most holistic of the possible candidates. She has not only identified the problems facing the City, admittedly not a difficult task, but seems to have put some thought into what can, and should, be done about them. Rhynhart strikes me as a thoughtful technician who has strong ideas about how to best use the limited resources of the City, something I can't say about the others. Most can't seem to put together a basic websites that clearly articulates their policies, let alone provide details on how these policies might be implemented.

Brauhaus Schmitz has some potential to be cozy. Asked to be sat in the back room, the lighting isn’t as harsh.

Unrelated question as I'm not familiar with the neighborhood but saw School House Lane mentioned

Anyone know if there was/still is a big old retirement apartment building that mostly wealthy elderly once lived in on that street?

I had a very wealthy aunt that lived on that street in a huge apartment back in the 1970s and 1980s but I never visited her there unfortunately.

I lost two cars in Philly. Both times folks nit paying attention and rear ending me.

Interesting.

Never been to Clearfield. Closest was McKean, Cameron and Centre counties. I liked the area - definitely different from the Poconos.

She was an accountant in the city government - her life was auditing all those projects

A lot of Italians but I didn't know of any direct ties to Philly while I was living there. It was also specific. A hoagie was an Italian one. Any other sandwich on a long roll was a sub.
