My parents and I are having Thanksgiving solo this year, and we want to order dinner from a local Black-owned business. I have been doing my own searches, but would love to hear some personal recommendations. Thank you so much!

Hi, a new multi unit (15 unit?) apartment went up in my rowhouse neighborhood and they are starting to get tenants to fill it. Does anyone know the rules on trash collection and storage for these types of units?

It seems they are putting trash cans out overflowing with amazon boxes and other misc garbage and they’re just sitting there. One has been out for better part of a week, another went out 2 days ago. Luckily it’s not mid summer and stinky, but this is a nice little narrow no parking street that you can barely fit a car down and neighbors tend to sit and hang outside. We don’t want bins of trash piling up all week all year…

As far as I’m aware, given it’s so big they need private service to come collect it (have fun getting one to drive up this tiny street).

Does anyone know the rules around putting trash out for them? I know for city you cannot put it out till night before (technically 7pm iirc), but not sure if private collection is similar.

Thanks!

PS

I’d like to be cordial and at least reach out to the property manager before going 311 on them etc. and for now just trying to confirm the rules.

But I don’t have great faith as construction was a pain as they tore down a mural, cut back a tree, stopped for a while leaving a nice mosquito breeding ground, generally made the street less pleasant. So I’m not too optimistic I’ll get good feedback…

It’s a very random document, but right next to a sentence referencing a very small country that would benefit from a war between Russia and the United States, it has the URL, ‘brovids.com.” I googled that URL, rather than visiting it directly, and the first result is this website, “Real Jew News,” which as you can imagine is pretty out there.

Hey All, I'm headed to a show at the TLA soon and I'm looking for some tips on a safe/ convenient area to park as well as some food and/or drink recommendations for before the show. I'm not familiar with the area at all so any guidance is greatly appreciated.

The top of the poster said “Go Kamala” for those who don’t get it.

Notes:

• Expand your mind
• Talk about whatever is on your mind.
• Be excellent to each other.
• Have fun.

It’s now over by the visitors center to make room for the Christmas stuff in the park.

Does anyone with Verizon Fiber expierence outages at around 12am-1am randomly? Mine has gone out at least once a month in that period for 15-20 minutes before coming up. TYIA

SEPTA could strike tonight. Does anyone have info on whether or not it's going to happen? Trying to figure out how I and my coworkers will get to work tomorrow.

That’s it. It shouldn’t be this fucking hot. I should’ve gone down the shore this week.

See under the green light. Sorry for the shoddy photo. I was walking.

SEPTA’s TWU 234, which represents SEPTA bus drives, subway operators, mechanics, and maintenance workers, and AFSCME District Council 33 that represents over 9000 Philadelphia city workers, including sanitation workers, are both ready to on strike. 

TWU 234’s contract expires tonight at 11:59 PM with a strike already authorized. AFSCME DC 33 has been working without a contract since July, authorized a strike vote back in October, and they'll have another strike authorization from today until Wednesday, November 13th. The votes will be tallied on November 14th.

If both services strike at the same time, it would be one of the largest strikes in the cities' history! No buses, no subways, no trash pickup, and more.
