Hi fellow musician. Blue Bond and DiPinto are most folks’ go-to places. But honestly, lots of stuff changes hands through FB marketplace. And if you’ve got a car, Guitar Center in Cherry Hill is one of the best ones I’ve been to. There’s a so-so Sam Ash in the same shopping center.

It's not crazy, Philly isn't a party town. Go to Vegas NYC or Miami for that dumb shit.

I'm surprised they're not keeping Hamilton and closing this one.

Blue Bond Guitars and BridgeSet Sound are the only one that come to mind off the top of my head.

They don't work at the visitor center, they just have Staff shirts.

They exist. Especially in the theatre and visual arts.

Is Passayunk more small town? It's hard to tell. Trying to narrow it down to a few we can visit.

Thoughts on these areas: WSW, Queen Village, Fairmont, and University City? These seem really walkable, but are they affordable, safe, things to do, etc.? We are looking into the details but would love thoughts. We also love artsy areas. Thanks. :)

Check out Media, Doylestown, Phoenixville, and West Chester if you want area suburbs where if you squint real hard at you can see parallels with charming European villages (although you may struggle a bit because European charm and 2 car garages are pretty much mutually exclusive).

EDIT: typo

Our dog got cardiograms at Andorra Veterinary, and it took months to schedule.

Top of the list.

Why wouldn’t they actually put a visitor center in the empty visitor center building in Love Park? Nah, let’s park a shipping container next to the beautiful architecture of the art museum instead.

Hello!

My girlfriend and I area planning to move to the Philadelphia area and we came across the Kingswood Apartments in KOP. There were a lot of available listing for a seemingly really good area, so we got a little suspicious. Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with these apartments or the surrounding area?

Oh trust me, I'm well aware of the effect that COVID had on the performing arts. Fortunately, I make most of my living teaching, but my wife lost all of her work for nearly a year and a half with the exception of a few online performances.

When I mention a creative community, I'm talking less about things happening and more about making things happen. Getting together with other people in the arts, coming up with ideas, and figuring out how to make it happen, no matter how crazy. Or just having a community to bounce ideas around or talk about things. A sort of informal creative think tank that happens naturally, and sometimes randomly. I haven't been able to find such a thing in Philly.

Honestly always thought this one would close after the 21st and Hamilton location opened. Tbh shocked it’s the other way around.

Smart. Never worth it.

No termites up here in the Poconos but with such a mild winter, carpenter ants didn't die off and everything's gotta be checked for them too.

Did that too, so many discount snacks.
