LNI actually employs a number of angry crows. The key is to leave out berries, bread, a small tank of fish, and expensive red wines.

Maureen may have reported you (fuck you Maureen), but rest assured, the crows investigated and confirmed the report.

>n "redoing" your façade, what exactly do you mean? Way too many variables here to say blanketly whether you should even be doing the work yourself.

it's the removal of stucco and adding a brick veneer. The plans don't look any different

Reply to comment by wpcodemonkey in In South Philly by RoughRhinos

I had an asswipe neighbor who'd always park his fucking truck and wreck branches on my tree. Maybe I should do something like the following: my parents had a tree where people would always reach up and break off branches so I got some gloppy stuff called "Tanglefoot" (to keep bugs off fruit trees) and coated the lower branches with it. So when the smacked-asses grabbed a branch they'd get this sticky-as-hell-non-water-soluable shit on their hands. The best part is that you could say "It must be sap from the tree." Yep, it stopped the morons breaking branches!

Reply to comment by outerspace29 in Person shot on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line in West Philadelphia by WestPhillyFilly

You sound offended, I think my initial comment had a perfectly reasonable tone. And constructive criticism is a good thing, blanket statements about how horrible things are here (typically exaggerating) are not. I’m actually pretty vocal about wishing city leadership acknowledged these incidents and told us what they are doing to address them. People don’t like him but at least Eric Adams does that.

Have a nice Friday!

Reply to Police: Thieves stealing ATVS, dirt bikes, more from SE Pa. homes after items listed for sale on social media by AbsentEmpire

Be careful out there trying to sell high value stuff like this on these market places.

The didn't feel like reading the short article summary:

>Police say they are seeing an increase of thefts of ATVs, dirt bikes and motorcycles from homes across Southeastern Pennsylvania, specifically targeting vehicles listed for sale on social media sites like Facebook Marketplace.

>there are crews coming out of New Jersey, Delaware, New York State and Philadelphia to steal the vehicles.

>They say thieves often ask sellers for videos of the vehicles running.

>"Some of these videos will have metadata that can show location information, some of the Facebook profiles that the victims are using aren’t locked down so they list where they are living, or in the background of the video they will actually get identifying information," says Detective Louis Bell.

>Detective Bell says the thieves often use vans or U-hauls with stolen or fake license plates. They believe the groups are re-selling some vehicles overseas, but mostly domestically, or they just use them for fun.

>"Many of these vehicles are ending up in Philly in these marauding packs of dirt bikes and ATVs that are just running down rampant throughout," he says. "These are criminals, who know how far they go. We know for a fact some of these crews are armed."

Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64

It was noted in another comment that it would bring young people to the area to eat and shop, and I chuckled bc I don’t know 1000 “young” people that could afford a 2k rental right now, especially alone. It feels a little tone deaf to everybody who are struggling to find rentals they can afford
