Every bar is opened at 10am when most races start? Good to know.

I’d guess that another bad parker got the note then and placed it on your car to be funny. I’d do that myself, if I was a bad parker, which I’m not.

Reply to comment by ifthereisnomirror in Where to get just a little mulch in South Philly by researching4worklurk
I don't think Urban Jungle sells mulch, unless it's some precious tiny bag of something for a terrarium that costs $25.
EDIT: I just remembered that they now have a nursery at Morris and Water Street, but their web site says they are still closed for the season and does not give an opening date. I'm assuming they would sell mulch there along with their outdoor plants, but I haven't managed to check it out since it opened so I can't verify. https://www.urbanjunglephilly.com/nursery

That's so weird. It's like people who spend their lives associating with people who carry guns tend to get shot more.

Oh trust me, I’d never 😭 I see it all the time, people who do that must have enough money to not give a shit about their car. I do not, lol!

Yes!! I woke up in the middle of the night and my window was open, I heard a woman outside crying and telling the cops everything. The two tires on the side of the curb were slashed. We don’t know for sure who it was, but we have our suspicions.

Fair enough, I'm reacting based on past experience with people who think because they aren't a full foot into the street they're parked legally. It's especially common in Fishtown and Port Richmond.

I pulled behind a car, who was parked just as far off the curb as me, and I definitely gave enough room. No one parked behind me until way later in the night.

How close were you to the other cars? Any signs you were ignoring?

Philosophically, I support the second amendment. Practically, we need to put serious rules in place to allow it exist in a modern, urban environment. I’m talking extensive, mandatory training, with regular re-training; mental health evaluations; and a strict control over the types of firearms available.
For the last bit, I’d be against assault rifle bans and for a ban on handguns

My car is a super tiny compact, so my car ends before the pole. But people park up against that corner all the time, including big ass trucks. I don’t because I don’t want to get hit.

It's tough to tell from this angle, but I'm guessing that bollard is the further back you can legally be parked. Anything behind it will obstruct turning radiuses and sight lines. If your tail end is too close you're parked illegally, even if there's enough clearance for a car to fit behind you and not be int the intersection itself.

There was an entire spot open behind me, and someone had parked there last night after me.

Looks like you might be too close to the intersection. If you’re too close there isn’t enough room for people to make the turn

Ahh good ol Pennypack. So many days spent there as a kid when I was forced into Cub/Boy scouts. Took my dog there recently as an adult and I think I enjoyed it for the first time.
