I live near PC and the amount of PC cars I see on my way back from SP where I take my teen cracks me up. I wish we could all connect and trade pick up/drop off routes. xD

Yes, the dog owners are setting themselves up for failure here. The move is to smear the shit across the windshield.

Couldn’t it also be that the parents most likely to send their kids there are legacies at Ivies? I’d be interested in that data. It might not be that the students are smarter or harder working.

Palumbo is also a great school, great teachers and administrators. There are no midterms or finals as well. I attended a private school from 3rd to 8th grade and found the content to be all all over the place and difficult to understand. Not to mention teachers who didn’t care about rampant bullying in their establishment.

Excellent points all around. We lived in South Philly for some years and had one of our kids at PC and even that distance anything outside of school sucked to deal with for us, and our daughter missed out on some friend events due to travel, etc. Totally a shame. We did move closer to the school during the pandemic and it's been night and day. Great call out, and a key for people thinking of living in CC and putting their sons in Haverford, and whatnot. Even CC to SCH constantly adds up, so closer to home is a key IMO.

old cities tend to grow higher, because over the years they just build on top of old stuff. it's why you can find entire neighborhoods underground in modern rome.

i know it's a big project, which is why i say just build it already. i've seen too many big projects explode in cost as they sit and wait, if only due to inflation. political changes come and projects die.
just build it already. and i'm saying that because of the complexity, not because i don't understand the complexity.
i'd rather have something that is five years overschedule and billions over cost but is eventually complete than nothing at all.

i hope it's a step towards burying the whole damn thing, ala the big dig in boston.
everyone complained about the pain of construction, the cost, etc. but the results are permanent and the benefits will last a hundred years.

Eh, it often mirrors public sentiment. There's a major disconnect between the speed at which people think things can happen and the speed at which they do happen, especially with young people.
