Thanks for letting me know, I won't go to Dunkin anymore. It's about spreading awareness. I will always fiercely support the working class and Dunkin pays barely above minimum wage, there's tons of reasons on top of what those protesters are saying to boycott Dunkin, and now I won't spend money there now that I've been given another. I guarantee those protesters have driven away hundreds in sales. We have very little power against the corporate fascists who run our country, and sustained protest is one of the only ways we still do.

Ah yes, a park that stays locked for over 6 months out of the year that has more than enough room to fit a garage. But sure, it’s not surprising that Philly people very content with their dangerous trash pit of a city. Why should the city look nice or be safer?

I'm currently living in Philly but moving a few blocks down. I'm trying to think through the moving permit situation, as I'll need to load up a u-haul and leave it around overnight.

Do I just apply for two separate permits? One for my current address and move out day and that night and another for my move in day at the new place?

Now I feel foolish as the answer seems pretty obvious as I type this...

I'm all about pedestrianizing east passyunk, but the part of Capitolo at the corner of 9th and Federal is currently a well-used kid's playground. Beyond that heading towards 10th is a recently renovated/updated soccer pitch, and beyond that is the community garden. Heading towards Wharton is the basketball courts, which are heavily used. Which of these gathering spaces for our community do you recommend we get rid of so that tourists can park their fucking cars?

Make "Walk East Passyunk!" a thing, recommend people park at Constitution Health Plaza and walk down the Ave starting at Broad. Getting rid of greenspace and public park space for a parking garage sort of defeats the purpose of making a street car-free.

If you're ever walking home after a night of heavy drinking and you end up near this intersection, you can look at that neon cheesesteak to induce vomiting. You might feel a little better in the morning.

They’re worried that whatever place they think is reserved for them in society - however meager or uncertain - is under attack. So they’re desperately trying to become ignorant of reality again so that they can feel better and more secure. The irony is that if they embraced change, they would feel better but fighting it makes it worse.

They’re little kids stuck on a diving board.
