Are the edges actually that sharp?

Damn that sucks for your cousin. I hope he fought it and got it all figured out. Do you still think it’s worth reporting if it’s on public/city property? Just yesterday around Gerard and 40th I saw somebody open their car door and kick out half a trash can worth of garbage right into the middle of the road. I was stunned lol

All good. No worries. I’m sure we’re all in the same boat with our feelings towards how the city is run

If the question starts with “Will Philly police do…” the answer is no. These people are just wasting our tax dollars while the city drowns in violence while they do nothing.

Same. Well I have two, but yes. That’s also why I have cats. They’re a little feisty but are long domesticated animals.

The city won't touch anything that doesn't have a penis on it.

Good call

Nothing like some fresh grilled Pteriyaktyl

And this is why I have a cat.

>I don't think I'd go wrong with either, but curios if you think I'm missing anything.

I don't think you're missing anything, though for West Philly, if you're already taking the El / Trolleys, take them 1 / 3 more stops to City Hall (for Suburban Station).

West Philly has better access to Fishtown via the El, if nightlife there is important to you. South Philly has better access to the stadiums if you're interested in sports. By "better access" I just mean you don't have to change services.

Please also reconsider having a car in the city. There's no need for one unless you enjoy paying insurance premiums on a parked car.

My cousin works in animal control in NYC. Countless cayman get surrendered. They’ve gotten ocelots, capybaras, cobras and even a juvenile puma.

Some people just want to be different and have no idea what they’re getting into.

Okay, but think of the BBQ potential...

We adopted a 3 year old JRT not too long ago from Morris Animal Refuge. They didn't know anything about his past other than that he was an owner surrender from another shelter, but I'm almost positive it was a similar situation - he's extremely reactive and absolutely hates kids and/or people abruptly getting too close to him, but is otherwise the sweetest guy. He's made a ton of progress in the short time we've had him, but I don't think he's ever going to completely change based on what he probably went through before this.

Not really wasting time, you will definitely save yourself(or the property owner) a citation. If you remember the vehicle/plate, definitely report that also.

My cousin got a citation because some idiot dragged a bag of dirt/gravel and left it in front of her house. Instead of following the dirt trail around the corner to the house that was being demo’ed, City employee just decided it’s easier to ticket her instead.

Plus a nice big orange Home Depot bucket is a good kit. Take walks around your block with them while you're on calls

My comment came off dickish at you & that wasn’t the intention. My comment came from what is likely mutual dissatisfaction with the way this city is ran & responsiveness to taxpayer concerns / quality of life issues. Apologies.

your description of Spruce Hill is right on the money. I've lived in that area for nearly a decade and I love it.

You’re probably right. I was hoping someone would have good news for me but oh well. And yeah I most certainly would never confront someone littering. Sounds like a recipe for getting shot

I’m just trying to keep the city clean. Idk about you but I dislike walking through streets and sidewalks with garbage blowing around

Depends on what color the garage bags are? 🤔

Yeah don’t confront a random stranger over littering.

Hi! I'm looking into subletting a place before signing a lease. Would Facebook groups be the best way to find sublets (University City area)?

Also is 38th & Spring Garden St a safe area? I'm looking into a sublet there.

Yeah had to bug them for several days to clean up my block which was covered in trash AFTER the trash men came threw and seemingly tossed ripped trash bags around without caring about the mess they were making.
