Reply to comment by Jlaybythebay in [Inquirer] Philadelphia collected $21 million in fees to improve pedestrian safety. Sidewalks are still treacherous. by Hoyarugby

I'm speaking from experience. My mum got into a major car accident 10 years ago, she got $600 after the medical bills were settled because Medicaid / Medicare did not cover her health care due to the lawsuit. And on top of that I had to fight with Medicare for the next 3 years to cover problems related to that accident that popped up.

Reply to Labor Protests outside S. Philly Dunkin Donuts by jnachod

Obviously they aren’t going to redo the renovations, but the point is to lower business and make the people who did the renovations (and others) notice - and encourage others in the future not to do the same.

It’s like anyone who protests something that’s already happened, like a unjust death. Protesting clearly isn’t going to bring them back, but the intent is to make sure it doesn’t happen again (or happens less at least)

Reply to comment by TheCardiganKing in RIP Black Cat Tavern. Where else can I have a beer in Deep South with a similar vibe? by fox_in_the_headlight

Oh hell yeah sugar mom's! My sister took me there about a decade ago when she was living in Philadelphia. No one seems to remember that place.

I just moved here over the summer and went to tattoo mom's around then. Cool vibes inside, but the specialty cocktails and even draft beers tasted terrible.

Reply to I only just discovered these glorious beasts by Easy-Reading

I USED TO LIVE HERE! The place was pretty spacious and the landlord (Alex) never raised our rent in the four years I lived there. Embarrassingly, I didn't notice the busts until I'd already lived there for a year. Being that close to Cafe la Maude was dangerous. 😂

And people putting trees on sidewalks that are too small. My mother in law can’t even fit her walker between the trees and porches on her block and the city won’t make them move and remove the tree, she has to squeeze between cars and go into the street to get to the corner store
