Reply to Abandoned "roadwork" in the middle of a 4-way intersection yesterday (19th and Oregon) by malcolmfairmount

Lack of accountability at all levels of the city; starting from our Mayor, down to Police, trash cleaners, streets division, and what not, yet they always come up with new positions that are supposed to make everything better and of course never do. And of course this spreads to contractors who can fuck up any intersection, sidewalk or street w/o having to worry about enforcement and fines. Honestly, Philly lives not because of its goverment, but in spite of it.

Reply to comment by stickyrice215 in Where to get just a little mulch in South Philly by researching4worklurk

It would be even more fun to just keep ADDING mulch.
Every day just add a little. After awhile there would be so much that they would start wondering.
Everyone is always worried about something being stolen that they don't think about something being added. I've had lots of fun leaving strange things (nothing that bad) at peoples houses when visiting. I usually will leave it in a place where they won't find it for awhile. Then they find it and wonder if it's always been there. This is really great when it's a couple living. One thinks the other put it there!
It's fun to make the world a little more surreal place!

Reply to comment by Ams12345678 in Any updates on the Quartermaster Plaza development? by hockeystuff77

I'm an architect actually toured this space with SkyREM (the developer) when they were looking for proposals. It has a massive amount of square footage for space. There's not unlimited amount of space in the navy yards and there are a lot of biotech companies coming to Philly. Though most of them are going to the navy yards and west Philly.

The quartermaster had a cool history and there could be cost benefits for renovating and repressing historic buildings that are on the site. There's even still an orginal bowling alleys that the officers of the time used.
