You take that, gets some contractors and some long term economic benefits, baby you got a stew goin!

I can already see any fireworks event at the water front are gonna be awesome already from the park

Old City's built on top of the cliff on the edge of the floodplain for the Delaware, though (as is pretty much everything from Front Street on west up and down the river).

Yes... parent education attainment and SES are huge drivers of kids' educational outcomes. Many of those kids, with those parents, would've done pretty well, no matter what.

You’re so right! I am really just thinking of myself because I get high from a few puffs lol

can we talk about LeBus for a second? the interior is gorgeous and I want to love it. but whoever is on sautéing of vegetables duty has the heaviest hand with the oil. it's disgusting and has ruined every dish I've gotten.

Interesting observation. I guess there is a lot of overlap. Montrealers avoid the Vieux Port like the plague but it is nice to walk around in as a visitor. I guess the main difference is this will actually be useful to residents but mainly those that can afford to live in the new developments.

Is she the one who said bulletproof glass is racist?

Oh it absolutely will be a huge success when it is built.

A park along 676 would be amazing and transform the city as well.

I still don’t believe it.

Usually, but they're coming on way early this year. The kwanzans haven't started to bloom just yet, but the rosebud cherries are popping already.

They’re not tho. You can go on the website and see the full breakdown. No system will ever be flawless but progress and math and reading proficiency etc is a good gauge.

I’m not here to argue school ratings. The point I was trying to hammer home is even the best elementary school kids are still looking at private schooling or charter magnet if they’re lucky at some point no matter what.

I didn’t see much drug culture when I was there. I think it’s something you need to seek out to find.

PC alum here, definitely a great option and just down the street from GFS. PC is better if you're looking for your children to get into sports.

Their cold brew is better than Ultimos

Thanks for those last two sentences. That's really where it's at, for me.

Even at our very challenged public school, the kids who have grit and drive end up at Harvard, Brown, and so on. The amount of money people are spending to stay in their bubble is a headscrstcher to me.

Those school ratings are overwhelmingly based on standardized test scores, which is an absurdly narrow view of things.

I'm moving to Philly this August. Is touring apartments 3 weeks before move-in too late to get a good apartment near UPenn? Alternatively, is apartment hunting at the end of May/beginning of June too early for an August move-in? I will be out of the country in June and July, so I want to get some advice on when to apartment hunt. TIA!

I smoked a blunt on Hard Rocks 2nd floor patio back in the fall overlooking the boardwalk & ocean. It was awesome!

Fucking finally. Only downside is more mysterious drips on your car on 95. For us motorcyclist.... Ew

Sorta hate seeing it as Big Money & Corporate coming in, would rather see a more community based non-profit/co-op setting it up.

Oh, but the residents will get $15/hr jobs out of it, after decades of being right yet being arrested, fined, and locked up for weed posession & dealing.

Lots of people are pro GFS. I fully understand looking outside of public school here if you're not in a good catchment, but I find it more than borderline offensive when people move into a good catchment area and then still don't use the school.

In case it's not clear, you're in a good catchment.
