I like when I get to take my kids to CHOP for doctors appointments. They have shelves of books for kids to take home and read, free of charge.

I encouraged my 9 year old to get the Sideways Stories from Wayside High. She took one but told me she didn't like the book.

Can't speak to it besides that it seems to get very strong reviews. But this spot is very accessible after a quick PATCO ride into Jersey.

If you're into records, I can absolutely vouch for Phidelity Records right next door. Really solid record shop.

Read by 4th is an incredible organization! Sign up to volunteer as a Reading Captain!

Also, the required texts for standardized texts [edit: standardized tests] are very expensive. It's like a high school version of the college textbook scam. So many schools also cannot prep the kids.

I meant Harrowgate

Harrow is next and its already happening. They've aready turned a bunch of old brick industry buildings into apartments and commercial rentals for small businesses and theyre renovating more. Harrowgate also has the el. Tioga station will be the new hispter epicenter.

If you dont believe me, take a trip to Caphe Roasters and get some gourmet coffee, real asian fusion bites and a floor full of hipsters.

The only other high school I ever visited also had a library... 3/3. I wonder if the source published a list of schools with a library.

It is true.

Yes, it’s real.

Ok. Yep. Missed your septa part. Thanks for that pro-tip. Will look for that one next time

Is that number real? Both my K-8 school and my high school had a school library..

Man, i saw periphery and animals as leaders there. Was such a bummer. Amazing bands, super complicated technical heavy heavy metal, just sounded like.mashed potatoes. Always wonder what you do as a band in that situation. Obviously fantastic performs getting totally screwed by the venue. What a shame

That's what Charter row does for a city.

For some ridiculous reason I don't understand every chatter school private enterprise company tries to use Philadelphia as their testing grounds. And 90% of these for profit charter schools fail within 4 years. Like there's something about federal funding they're abusing to get somewhere. But it's absolutely nuts you go to Allegheny West and there been like 4 different schools under different management in the same building hiring Americorps volunteers over the last ten years. Starting up a school system from scratch is insane to comprehend the logistics. You're not just selling Burgers or Jeans to a customer who walks in, you're educating a child for an entire year and dealing with Chicken pox outbreaks or kids with Asperger's. You're not in a consumer based climate when it's just one annoying Karen yelling at the restaurant about garlic bread you can ask her to leave. You're stuck with a kid by law you have to contractually educate for a year and make a process to state overseers saying exactly why you expelled/recommend this kid for Alternative schooling.

You can see them frying the eggs. You must be thinking of the big one by Septa where they def microwave your eggs.
