But, that is also part of the community experience. The parents are highly successful and your child is friends with those types of children.

I haven't heard of opioid abuse -- in high school, that comes in more through athletic injuries if they're overprescribed/not weaned off correctly -- but definitely weed and ... look, I don't want to disparage or be unfair here, so talk to contemporary parents or parents of recent grads.

I've never seen a notary read the document they're witnessing a signature to.

Completely agree. I former colleague's sons attend Haverford and live in CC, and between driving to an outpost for a shuttle pickup and the like, it's about 2.5 hours a day in communing for early middle schoolers. TPS is right around the area for them and is great until you decide what the next move.

I've never seen them that low to NYC, but it's a rule of thumb: if you can plan in advance, you can get best seats for the best prices (or super low). That's how I travel Acela business class, if I know that NYC trip is coming up in a couple of months or so.

I had to travel to NYC recently on a shorter notice (4-5 days or so), depending on time of day those tickets were very affordable as well (I think I paid under $100 total) - just have to leave early/come back later.

Just a statue of her legs where the park was supposed to be. Ozygymdias.

The city won’t exist by 2031 if Gym is mayor.

It's only an i95 cap, Michael. How much could it cost, 10 dollars?

Can anyone share their experience of living in Roxborough? I am (28 M) potentially looking to move there. What is the commute like to CC? Is it easy to have a car while living there? Thanks!

No worries, and it's always best to refrain from drinking or smoking and driving!

Would have been nice! For a year and a half she took the school bus and it was a 6:10 pick up to get her out to PC and a rough go all around.

They look similar that is true but I promise you it is a house sparrow. There is several nests inside the bushes outside my job and this little lady was eating with the rest of them.

I've seen families in Society Hill / Queen Village send their elementary school kids to schools on the Main Line and ... why? It's one thing to do that when your kid is old enough to take Regional Rail back and forth every day (which itself is great for fostering independence), but I can't justify 12 years of it.

this is chock full of great info, thank you. Can you elaborate more on the drug use? are you talking about serious opioids or stuff like weed? Not that I'm comfortable with any of it but just trying to get a sense.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the project and always felt like Penns landing had a lot of wasted potential. Just more a comment on how abysmally long it takes the city to finish any project. Felt like city hall was under construction for a continuous decade.

you shoudln't be personally offended by where I send my kids to school

I used to be a social worker and was out in every neighborhood taking SEPTA (including north philly) all the time by myself with no issues. I'm a small white lady and obviously out of place so people either could tell I was a social worker or sometimes thought I was L&I. I always felt safe. The worst that would happen to me would be catcalling or old men offering me rides.

Tips? Know where you're going so you don't look super lost. Say a friendly hi if you're passing by people sitting out on their steps.

Is this legal? I would think you would need to have them in Chinese and English, and need a translator to attend also advising and signing off, in front of the notary. (Chinese is not an official language, which is why I think it might have to be done this way.)

Yup, you just have to book ahead. I usually have no problem finding ~$40 round trip between NYC/Philly a week or two out. The price gets better if you can plan further out.

It’s cheap, fast, comfortable, low stress and has some nice views along the way.

If you are traveling to somewhere along the NEC from Philly and aren’t taking Amtrak, you should be! We live along the best train corridor in the US.

By graft do you mean the profit margins of private contractors?

why would the GPA be calculated based on other student's scores?
