All I see where it was is a link to 'NYT at the library' which doesn't work anymore.

I did a google but couldnt find much. Does anyone know of any bars or any establishments with food/drink that are open early enough and also would be showing the Spanish GP for F1?

Appreciate any advice or input , thank you!

Does anyone know if Kelly pool is open yet? I know they had some issues

Love the beef sticks there but last time we went had some that were too chewy/fatty that we ended up spitting out half of the meat. Any vendors that have leaner meats?

Why?

Does anyone have any experience dealing with noise ordinance issues? When I moved into my apartment the lot next door was vacant (would've avoided if I knew what it would be) but now it's a bar. I don't want to be rude but I can hear everything and I doubt they have any noise isolation plan in place. Not sure what the best thing to do would be.

For example: Quick Stop Deli on 48th and Spruce has incredible hoagies for $3.50 - $4. They're huge, everything on them, fresh bread - just damn good especially for the price.

What other random gems do you know of?

Probably a dumb question but I saw that the FY25 budget was approved recently, and I also know that several departments of the city had testified asking for more money. How do we find out if the proposals by these departments were approved or not?

I mean jeans in 90° weather is fucking insane! GTFOH!!!

July Concert/Performance Roll Call

Let us know the concerts/shows/performances you are attending for the month in Philly or surrounding areas.

Some people have also asked how people find out about shows. Here’s some recommendations:

1. Bandsintown (website|app) - discover bands that are coming through your city/sync to music streaming services to track the artists you follow.
2. Pollstar (website) - discover bands coming through your city
3. Philly Shows (website|Instagram) - a blog that lists shows happening in Philly this week.
4. XPN Concert Calendar (website) - concert calendar for local venues.
5. DO215 (website) - discover events and ticket giveaways
6. Local bookers like R5 Productions, Dave Kiss Presents, etc.
7. Local venues like The Fillmore, Johnny Brenda's, Kung Fu Necktie, Underground Arts, etc.
8. Special shout-out to Discordelphia. We often talk about music in the music channel and recommend concerts to each other/sometimes meet up.
9. Ask for some recommendations here! There's bound to be someone who knows about the genre/energy you're looking for.

And where can I get the sticker?

There’s apparently outages happening in Ny and Nj too, but I haven’t seen anything about Philly. My service has been down for 5 days and Verizon has kept saying there’s no issue/outage, but Verizon vans were on my block a few days ago

I was born and raised in South Philly (Bella Vista) and I recently had to relocate for reasons out of my control. I’m in a beautiful area of the country. I mean stunning. And, yet, nothing replaces my girl, Philly. She’s such a special city, ya’ll.

Ive always known this about her, and never took her for granted. What I did not know however is how absolutely lucky I was to live near so many options for delicious ethnic food. The folks here will say, “oh, this place is THE BEST for “ethnic food” and it’s not even mediocre. I’m second hand embarrassed for the parents who passed their recipes down to tourist who need a summer job.

Or maybe it really is the water? Either way, I miss yous so much. I miss real friendliness, real talk, saying what needs to be said and moving on. I just want someone to tell me they love me by driving by, honking the horn, “a - yo, what the fuck you up to tiday? Jeet?” Then we go to Nam Phuong and all is well in the world.

Notes:

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

Don't worry normies, this doesn't concern you 💋

Why does it look like the flares over Do Lung bridge in apocalypse now in my living room??? What can be done about this???
