Reply to comment by taskermorrisrider222 in Labor Protests outside S. Philly Dunkin Donuts by jnachod

I go to Dunkin so I can stay true to my roots.

There's shit all over the floor, receipts crumpled up at the register, the prep area to put sugar in your coffee is both tiny and fucking disgusting. There's a lounge area where the chairs are broken and the donuts are stale as fuck. Anyway: "One espresso please": sometimes you get 1.5 oz, sometimes you get 12 oz of some toxic chemical sludge.

When I first moved here everyone talked about Jim’s south street and Max’s.

I already knew pats and genos were tourist stuff, but honestly they weren’t terrible.

Dallessandros was honestly pretty damn good, if there are better places PLEASE tell me because if they are way better I’ll go there

> Working independently and at odd hours, he obtained statements that helped convict more than 100 people over nine years in homicide.

> In December, Nordo was sentenced to 24½ to 49 years in prison for crimes including sexually assaulting informants. At least 13 convictions Nordo built have been thrown out in court, while dozens more remain under review.

Dry as fuck? Dalessandros was pretty good when I had it for the first time, better than Pats and Genos hands down

Can’t say about Jim’s south street though since it burned down a week after I moved here and never got to try it

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

I don't think they should have ever put in the ticket requirement for tow companies, but instead start charging them with crimes if caught faking a reason to tow a car (e.g. moving it to a towable spot, the tow truck driver who hid the sign at Broad & Ellsworth construction to tow a car that was then parked there, etc).

Charge a tow truck driver who does a purposely bad tow with grand theft auto and the tow company with extortion (forcing someone to pay if they want their illegally towed car back), and you'll see bad tows evaporate.

I call Geno's, Pats, & Dalessandro's tourist steaks & that's not to say they aren't good but these are establishments that are promoted for out of towners. One late night after heavy drinking a friend & I decided to get one sandwich from Geno's & Pat's & split it & Pat's blew Geno's out the water easily!!!

This isn't about maintenance, it's about construction projects closing sidewalks and not providing a safe alternative.

That said, PA should really change that law, because it's a stupid anti-pedestrian law. Local government should be responsible for all public right-of-ways, whether they're for motor vehicles or pedestrians.
