whoever downvoted you clearly has not experienced the deliciousness that is chicken and waffles from cedar point

Lived a few doors down from it on Annin for a few years, watched that Dunkin lot go from The Taxi Driver Waiting Area ™ to the Uber Driver Waiting Area ™ over the years because they let anyone use their restroom.

If you just walk around and look up, you'll often see something cool in Philly.

The only place I can imagine a parking garage making sense would be at the former police car depot at 11th & Reed, which I believe is being turned into a grocery store instead. I do think closing E Passyunk to cars would be very nice though.

it’s just a better allocation of the IRS’ resources to chase bigger fish than little.

seems like its a common misconception

South House sounds perfect for you.

No, we do not get paid for picket duty. Years ago our members were asked to picket certain jobsites if we were out of work. Now instead of doing that every member is required to picket twice a year regardless of whether we are working or not. It's better that way. There were years where I spent 4-6 weeks out of the year picketing various jobsites and some members didn't picket at all. Now it's just a few days and every member shares picket duty equally.

SNL used to be soooo good. it's pretty bad this season.

I say this with absolutely no sources but I would venture to guess it has something to do with Kenyatta Johnson.

Always reminded me of Mondo Burger

I agree. I was just trying to think of a practical solution to the problem

Nooo I hate that I giggled at this. Ugh.

It's very good, yes.

Hot take: Pat’s is serviceable if you’re out late or need food in your stomach after the bars close. Not to be snobby, but Geno’s is just not good at all.

They send the retirees and apprentices sometimes too. The retirees enjoy it and have something to do…. Poor apprentices lol! I feel like they may throw in lunch as well.

I disagree with the parking garage idea, but they totally should close that intersection. It’s a fucking nightmare to walk across. People park in the crosswalk, by fire hydrants, or on the points of Pat’s and Geno’s, making it almost impossible for drivers to see pedestrians. I’ve come within a foot or two of getting hit multiple times there and drivers act like I’m the asshole for walking on the striped crosswalk. Additionally, when the weather gets nicer, those psychopaths on trikes, motorcycle, and gators come by acting like macho assholes and blasting their music as loud as they fucking can at 3 AM.

I’m spoiled and live right near Bean2Bean. Free delivery to my neighborhood within a few hours of ordering most days. So damn good and so worth the extra few minutes in the morning to boil water and press the button to grind beans on my burr grinder.

Valid points. A few personal perspectives:

> have minimum balance requirements you have to meet in order to not pay a monthly fee

No problem there, didn't have to do it for a number of years.

> you get effectively no interest on your savings account

That's ass for sure; do other places offer much more?

> you have to pay for non-BoA ATM withdrawals,

Yeah, it's a pain, but I feel that $5 sting may be every 3 months or so at most.

> and you even have to pay for things like checks.

I don't actually use those. Their fee for cashier's check is beyond ridiculous: last time I had to get one it was $15 (up from $10, and they stopped doing money orders awhile ago), but those are very few and far between.

Savings account is probably the only thing I'd consider elsewhere (and should by the sound of it).

EDIT: holy shit, I was wasting money at BoA; Capital One savings it (likely) is. Thanks for heads up, fam! Your next PBR is on me*

*once that interest comes in.
