Honestly, every neighborhood here is residential and won't have the density or things to do as BK. You should stay in Philly for a week and see if you like it. I myself am looking to move back to Queens cause Philly can get boring if you've lived in a larger city and are young. Personally, most of the people I see moving from NYC are families or older couples looking to settle down/buy.

Hi, I'm posting on behalf of a Ukrainian refugee that I'm sponsoring through the United for Ukraine program. We're trying to help him find a shared apartment rental with a roommate in Northeast Philadelphia, preferably with a Russian speaker. A quick Craigslist search yielded no relevant postings. Does anyone here have suggestions on where we might seek out such postings online or in newspapers? What are the forums for people seeking Russian-speaking roommates in Northeast Philadelphia? Thank you in advance.

Looking to move to Philly in the next month and a half and am trying to decide between Old City and the Logan Square area. I’m mid 20s and want to be close to younger people and restaurants/bars etc. Looking to pay around $2000 for a one bedroom, any specific apartment recommendations?

Just for sake of clarity the penis gets drawn on the “dump” right? I don’t OP running through the streets of north Philly trying to paint a dick on someone’s license plate.

Rittenhouse is the love child of Park Slope and Gramercy, while NoLibs and Fishtown are Greenpoint on steroids

Floridaman realized he didn't miss reptiles and abandons pets.

You'd have better luck reporting it along with a picture of the vehicle preferably with plate, to 311 for illegal dumping. You can report online at the website or using the 311 app.

Yes if there's probable cause such as video of the offense. Anybody can write down a license plate and say "tHiS cAr dUmPeD." Witness testimony isn't enough by itself.

I guess it might be better than nothing. Thanks!

I say call local police district, report it and get the police report case #. Maybe let it sit for a few weeks, see if anything happens. When nothing happens, go to your local congress person's site and submit something about it with the police report case #. Then see what happens from there.

Edit: grammar

Exotic animal people are just bizarre. There used to be a show on (I think) TLC or Animal Planet about an "exotic vet practice" in Florida and it was an absolute circus. I'm sure the Florida aspect contributed quite a bit, but yikes.

It wouldn't tickle.

Wouldn’t consider rittenhouse as residential. It’s essentially the downtown(center city) and most expensive area. A lot of awesome restaurants, shops etc but at a premium price.

No Libs and Fishtown will check the boxes for what you said you’re looking for. Fishtown with a bit of an older crowd than No Libs.

That story is a
Croc ...

How can you truly trust the quality of the food? Just assuming if its on GrubHub et al that it's okay?

I had a Jack Russell growing up. She also, had a low tolerance for bull shit. There were 4 kids in our family ranging from 6-13, she loved all of us and would protect us with her life, but anybody outside of our family, she really didn’t care for. Kids in the neighborhood called her devil dog.

She lived to be 18 and was the best dog ever. I miss her so much but I would be hesitant to get a JRT with kids.

hi! my boyfriend and i are strongly considering moving to Philly. we are in our early/mid twenties, and I work in advertising and he works in accounting. we've looked at Rittenhouse Square, but think we are leaning towards NoLibs and Fishtown as our top options.

we currently live in Brooklyn and our neighborhood here is super residential. we are hoping for some activity, like good coffee shops, bars, entertainment, shopping, etc. within walking distance.

would love to hear any advice, suggestions, or thoughts :)

Currently, I’m not sure they care but let me tell you a story. Around 2009 I had a lease up in south Philly(15th and Tasker). One of my roommates who was a shitbag had a ton of personal stuff(mostly useless garbage he was saving for some reason) in the back part of our basement which I lived in. We helped him bag it up before we moved out and clean the house out in general. He and my other roommate decided the best way to get rid of it was go find an empty lot and dump it along with a couch no one wanted.

Well there must have been a piece of my mail somewhere in the garbage from my parents house back in Jersey and I got mailed a ticket for illegal dumping. Naturally the roommates told me to kick rocks because they “took care” of all the houses trash.

That roommate years later met a girl and got married, said girl was left 8 million by an elderly man she was a caretaker for and they balled out. Dude got divorced by her after about 2 years and is now said and miserable and deserves it for a number of shitty things he did while living in that house.

I used to run through Manayunk and up into Miquon for training. Manor road was my hill workout. Once a week I would fins a small white pickup truck dumping tires into the woods. I finally memorized the license plate - then waited near the area in my car one day. Sure enough - tire dumper appeared. I took pictures of his activity then followed him to a Roxborough gas station. I showed the owner the video. That put a stop to that. Although I imagine they just found another dumping ground.

Thanks for the response. And I plan to ditch my car. A major factor in considering this move is that my car is close to the end of its useful life, but I really like my current state of not having car payments.

Good for you for helping out. I don’t dare touch the trash I see on the streets in fear of what’s on it but this would solve that problem. Thanks!
