No worries about the photographer thing! So there’s no filter per se here I actually left this one “as shot” in my editing app for white balance.
I liked it because (to me anyway) it felt kinda cinematic and conveyed that it was blue hour when I took the pic. Having said that I also really prefer this edit for Many of the reasons you stated.

It's continuing on because it's not reliant on SEPTA having money to actually do it, it's going to be Amtrak who actually provides the service and pays for its implementation.

I still live up the street from 52nd. Unless I’m really in a rush, I walk my ass down to 46th street and get on there. Where you can get chicken over rice and counterfeit sports merch instead of shot.

"It's just frustrating that everything eventually boils down to people saying "Landlords are scum" to everything we do."
​
But if you think you're one of the good one landlords, then this statement doesn't apply to you, so why do you get upset by it?
​
Is it because you know that making money off of a necessity is scum behaviour and that landlords ARE scum?

Lmao, just talk to someone from Roxborough about new housing and within 5 minutes you'll want to launch yourself off the Ben Franklin.

That would give room for a backwards train to KOP one day. Maybe lol

We need more apartments in the poor neighborhoods like Broad and Erie, or Erie and Torresdale. Those would be below $2000.

yup its that we disagree, not that what you said is 1:1 with the suburbanite "the city is crazy and evil and dangerous and dont ever go there or you'll get carjacked!!!!!!!!!" complain.

My bad, when it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, i tend to assume I'm looking at a duck.

Reply to SEPTA Inks Contract to Make 3 Stations Fully Accessible – NBC10 Philadelphia by RoughRhinos
Yo, there is WAY too much construction in Northern Liberties/ Callowhill for Spring Garden to not be on this list. I know it's MFL, I understand it's sandwiched between 95, but it's necessary.

Even better, there's a train that runs from Reading to Jim Thorpe at least daily. If they both left from the same station in Reading, imagine being able to head up to the Poconos from the city without having to drive there.

This is hardly evidence that "people always speak as though this stuff only happens here." Again, it's a Philly sub. How should these types of comments be phrased to avoid offending your sensibilities, since it seems clear you're intolerant of any criticism of the city?
"A crime occurred in Philadelphia. In order to discuss it, I'm obligated to point out that crime occurred in Los Angeles, NYC, Detroit, Phoenix, and Boise as well. I'm confirming with my sources, but crime may also have occurred in Tripoli, Hong Kong, and Glasgow."
