Craigslist is a good place to look. I’ve seen listings for free firewood even, some people just have firewood that they want removed from their property

Never eat food from a gas station. . . . But I like your cynicism. +1

I hesitate to even comment on this blatant Wawa subversive marketing campaign...but, here I am...a cold hoagie is a "hoagie," a hot hoagie is a "grinder."

It’s not a partnership, CVS outright owns Target pharmacy

There’s a double track area like around bryn mawr. I remember they used to hold the locals for limiteds to whoosh past there.

No. You need a car for East Falls, Mount Airy or Chestnut Hill. I have friends who live in East Falls and you can’t walk to the grocery store, although I guess you could get delivery. The three of these are like the burbs from a NYC perspective—or maybe Staten Island.

walk score for Chestnut Hill is 69. https://www.walkscore.com/score/Chestnut-Hill-Philadelphia-Pennsylvania/lat=40.0715789794922/lng=-75.2105865478516/?utm_source=searchpoint.net&utm_medium=ws_api&utm_campaign=ws_api

Much of the performing arts got shut down during the pandemic. Theatre is just coming back this year. It could never compare to NYC but it was 100% more active in all arts before COVID.

I already got a ton of snacks 50% off from there. I go there about three times a week. The variety is shrinking though. I don’t think they’re marking anything down but the food though. Most of it will be returned to the warehouse and shipped to other locations.

MANAYUNK | YARN FACTORY LOFTS

Hi All, me and my wife have been looking into moving into these lofts in Manayunk. While the Zillow listing seems promising, we’ve read a lot of mixed reviews on the management company and the property itself (leaky ceilings, critters, etc.).

Most of the negative reviews seem to be from 2-4 years ago but there haven’t been a lot of recent reviews online to speak to the current conditions of the place.

Does anyone have any insight into renting at the Yarn Factory Lofts in Manayunk?

Thanks!

How do they even make money, is there a minimum spend to apply the $10 code??

Or who fail to realize there's an art museum at the top of the steps

We’re sorry that you have to do your job because your company locks things up.

Also true for Walgreens and Targets in CC tbh. It's ridiculous. And they make you feel like a terrible person for asking them to unlock the damn shampoos or laundry detergents.

Late Night Bars/Clubs

What are late night bars/clubs that’s not Voyeur (which closes at 3 am…) that I can go to just to chill or keep partying or waste time somewhere warm and around people until the sun comes up…or the trains run again or late night buses come to take me out of town?

It’s crazy to me a town the size of Philly doesn’t have a dance club/bar where I can stumble out of at 5 am.

And 5-6 blocks away on Broad and Spring Garden

Thank you! I really appreciate it; this is super helpful. x

I really like visiting that part of town. I'd avoid cheesteak vegas (9th/wharton/Passyunk intersection) as stuff can get rowdy over there late at night. Other than that it's near a lot of restaurants, transit, and basic life needs (grocery, etc.) I'm not sure how cheap it is though.

Hey all, thinking about moving to Philly next August (2024) and figured I'd post my situation and see if any residents have any feedback. My fiancee and I (early 20s) live in Cincinnati right now and want to change things up.

I'm a high school history teacher (will be fresh out of my master's next August) and avid traveler (mainly to Europe), which inspired me to look east coast, and Philly is much more affordable than similar places like Boston, NYC, etc. I want to live somewhere everyone knows about and be a part of that culture. The fiancee has high priorities on not having to park on the street (a garage or driveway w/ space for 2 cars mandatory) and at least a small green area for a small garden. Rowhouses are okay but independent buildings are better. She's a social worker, so combined we may have an income around 80k to start out and 90-100k a few years in if we rent for a bit before trying to get a place. Doesn't look like there are many options in city limits that meet our needs but further out may be more suitable.

I've had a bit of a difficult time looking at places in Philly's suburbs, so I wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations or advice on that front. Is Philly a good for us to look? Thanks for any help!

Not in our neighborhood. There’s gonna be significant backlash

Whatever. This is where our running club meets but nothing lasts forever
