Does the PPA come out to give a ticket in the 19116 area if you submit a request? A car that’s parked is blocking the walkways and I don’t wanna call 911

Lunar Inn sucks but Richmond Street will be popping hopefully with new bars and places to eat.

Edit - ok it doesn’t suck I just wasn’t a fan of their menu the two times I went. The inside is nice.

What's the cross street?

is that food hall open?

Stop lying man lol

Thank you! I love Bella Vista and East Passyunk, but sadly there’s no houses within my budget there. Also looking into Pennsport, will definitely consider that more.

accurate

Does anyone go to the City fitness Graduate hospital ? Thinking of signing up wanted some insight on crowds, staff and cleanliness of place

Also thinking of the YMCA in the area if anyone goes there as well

Thanks !

Yes. But also, no.

I’ve only eaten in there once and some old guy who looked like he belonged on a Florida beach harassing women kept talking shit to us for wearing our college gear.

It really does feel like a MAGA haven but not even South Philly MAGA. Jersey/South Florida MAGA.

Just call it “European night”

If you have no overlap, you can order a PODS pod instead of a uhaul, fill it up and schedule its delivery for a few days later when you have the lease on the new place.

Technically there is no technical definition of either neighborhood.

I lived in Haddon hills for a little bit and it was fine. The residents were the biggest problem, but the actual complex was pretty decent.

Between 9th and 3rd can be a little rough in that area tbh. It's not terrible, but it's not somewhere I'm gonna move.

That phenomenon does happen -- for example, "the Art Museum area" was a euphemism for "Fairmount" before Fairmount was gentrified -- but Port Richmond and Fishtown are distinct neighborhoods. I remember people saying they were from each of those places back in the '70s.

Is Bonk's actually a cool bar? The name is great but when driving by I haven't been able to get a read on the vibe.

TIL.

Feeling dumb for not knowing that. Thought Fishtown has always been distinct.

Edit: JFC, people. I don't know that neighborhood well but like to learn. So it has developed separately under its own name. That's cool.

So spare me the downvotes and just correct the record, will ya?

We moved back up north to be closer to family from Roswell to Central Bucks a few months ago.

Pros about moving from GA to PA based on my experience:

• From a traffic/congestion standpoint, it’s nothing crazy compared to the 400/285 lane closures.
• My husband and I always felt like ATL wasn’t as walkable as Philly. For example, we’d have to drive from PCM <> aquarium <> krog st <> battery. But with PHL, it’s much easier to just take the septa to explore Center City (Rittenhouse <> Old City <> museum district).
• I miss the cleanliness of Hartsfield Jackson but there’s a lot more direct flights for international destinations at PHL and EWR.
• There’s also Amtrak at 30th St. Station so you can take it directly to NY or Boston.
• Closer to the beach! Instead of going down to 30a, we’re able to go down the shore for a day trip.
• We also found that the property taxes are cheaper in Bucks county compared to Roswell.

Congrats on the job! PA is a great place to move to and I’ve heard great things about Montgomery County as well (which might be more suitable for your commute to the PHL)

I've noticed more DIY shows up that way. More shows at places like the Tin Can and Bonk's bar make it seem like a movement of sorts is happening.

Working on it.

Plus the under-the-95 trails have been completed which leads right to the Richmond St hipster zone, in addition to the trolley tracks and the larger Delaware Ave revitalization.

yeah for sure. the trolley's will make a huge difference for connectivity. the loop is there in front of Byrne's tavern- i would guess it would be a 10-15 minute ride down to frankford and girard. that will be a game changer for that neighborhood.
