Calvary UMC? Oh boy...I hoped they checked what kind of stone it's made of. They tried sand blasting one of the churches on 6th Ave downtown once, not realizing it was sandstone, and almost royally f'd it up.

My family has been in PA for over 200 years, but my brother has left the state, I'm looking to follow within the next 5 years, and we're hoping to move our parents (or at least the one who is still currently single, they divorced years ago) out at some point in their lifetime.

This isn't strictly about wealthy people. There are enough average people who would benefit from generational wealth than there are wealthy people who don't need it passed down.

But think about what you could do with extra money - reinvest it, build a business, start a charity, etc. Instead it just disappears into the state's coffers. If it's ever seen again, it'll be in the form of a public service where the benefit to everyone is financially negligible.

They forgot to include our ridiculous death taxes

Edit: the state taxes your wealth when you earn it and your stuff as you buy it, they have no right to just take all your shit when you die

The list of doctors who are authorized to prescribe is hilarious - dermatologists, hair loss specialists, plastic surgeons, etc. Almost none of the qualifying conditions are treated by such doctors. There's one on the list who's registered address is his personal house, but I can't find any records of him actually practicing in PA. The bureaucratic BS citizens have to put up with is infuriating yet there seems to be little oversight of the prescribers.

My point was more general, but in this instance they could also just call PennDOT

Activity on this sub would be cut in half if people actually just picked up the phone and called the appropriate office, full of people paid to assist with their exact question.

>my friends in PennDOT

At least you went to the appropriate source rather than asking someone else to ask PennDOT

That's beside the point, like it or not.

>Philly would ban all firearms except those carried by their own uniformed thugs (police) if they could. All while ignoring all of their far, FAR more obvious problems.

Could say that about pretty much any government body

>Allegheny probably doesn’t need 130 municipalities, but probably does need more than 1.

There's a lot of purple/red territory outside city limits. People would have a shit fit if they tried to form a unified city-county government. Personally I'd move just because I don't want to be under the city goverment, regardless of who's in charge.

>Philadelphia can (and do) set their own firearms control laws that affect the entire County.

This only applies to carry laws - Philly requires a permit for both open and concealed, while the rest of the state only requires a permit to conceal. Philly PD is known to harass people who openly carry.

Otherwise, the state's preemption law still covers just about everything. They actually got sued recently after the mayor banned guns at public pools, and the court struck it down under the preemption law.

Philly would have an AWB and mag cap limits in a heartbeat if they could.

Stone is aging and crumbling, this catches debris

Also helps keep pigeons off the stonework. Bird poop is corrosive.

Yes, it's on Smithfield - Smithfield United Church of Christ

You lost me at "rooted in Christian faith." The religious right is pushing Christian beliefs on people via the government, IDGAF what happens to you at this point.

I don't live near the area and genuinely don't care. I'm more interested in good news-sharing. A tiny bit of extra effort would've gone a long way in making this a much more useful post.

So you could've easily included text saying that and gained a lot of credibility.

Well you obviously heard about it somehow. Could've said "according to [xyz source]" like a school alert, police scanner, etc. I didn't say it had to be a news source or internet link.

A general rule is you shouldn't make any kind of alarming claim without some kind of source.

Plus, make college more affordable.

Is that the same as this, which is already over?

Really need to include sources when posting something like this

I would've expected the Fish & Boat Commission (since they handle licensing) and the Coast Guard to handle this. Unbelievable.

Ya the area itself is a good neighborhood, and I've never heard a bad word about the place. It always just struck me as a stereotypical sketchy roadside motel. I did see on Google Maps that the place has been updated, so they must be doing OK to afford that, and I'm glad to see a small business doing well.

I feel like this is some kind of trolling/shitposting in light of recent goings-on

I'm always amazed that 1) it's still in business, 2) it seems very popular with truckers, and 3) it's a popular movie set.
