Weird, you'd imagine a place named after a county in Ireland wouldn't have a pub on main street. Also, yeah I passed the VFW on the way from the wine store back to the highway.
The distributor there was pretty good when I went a few months ago, though the people there wanted to have like a full 20 min conversation with me instead of scanning my shit so I could pay them and leave.
Also what's up with that building with the random woman painted on looking out the window?

Ayyy took a train into tyrone yesterday. Interesting town.
I've never met a local - anywhere walkable to the train station that I can kill time over a beer during the day? I've been curious for years.

Fitler club is a giant piece of shit and pretends it's not arrogant but it is. Friend was a member and would take me to burn his monthly minimum. One time the front desk wouldn't let a chef getting off his shift in the elevator with us, even after I insisted, then got off and told him he could go first. Disgusting attitude.

I don't really think either are necessary. There's a lot of people here making weird nextdoor-y posts lately.
And yes, get signatures from the whole block or the block captain to go to a councilperson, so they actually live in the neighborhood, which matters more than a bunch of people on the internet, many of which don't even live here.

Because the only real answer is 'reddit is not a substitute for talking to your councilperson.'

You may be able to take the train if Vanguard has a shuttle (I seem to remember them doing that) but otherwise that drive from the city is miserable.
I work in Ardmore (also on the mainline, but much closer), live in south philly, and I take the train and it's fairly pleasant. I used to drive out here and after a few years of that I gave up driving completely.

$19 is the base fare and like you said, if you plan about a month out you can basically always get it.

Bonners is one of Philly's remaining S-tier dives. Stick to fried food, though.

Is this different from the guy that always had his two dogs (pugs?) in his bike's front basket and puts sunglasses on them and rides around?

Yeah, we'll certainly see. As far as I remember the best performing synchro models indicated removing the 76 onramps there (I forget which alternative was chosen though) so it may lose some connectivity.

From a planning sense, sure, but Amtrak owns that. And drexel owns the rest west of it, USPS owns south, etc.

It doesn't make any sense because one is privately funded and one would ostensibly be publicly funded.

Reply to Pat Toomey was one of the 43 Senators who killed sick leave for rail workers by GraffitiTavern
Hot reminder he was scared to come to Philly, the largest city in his state. He's an absolute clown.
He manned the candy desk at the impeachment, like a child, and also filled it with the void of santorum.

I walked up 21st and 22nd while they were filming on and off and they told me a bunch of times not to walk through there while they had enormous piles of trash sitting on the sidewalk like clowns.
I'm not even a hardass, they didn't care and neither did I.

> And the other day I saw one of the security people tell a few pedestrians that they couldn't walk down a certain street, even though there didn't seem to be anything going on there.
And that's when you tell them to fuck off and just keep walking. Not like they're allowed to do shit. I walked through all the sets that were constantly being shot in that area for like 5 years.

I saw these ads the other day on a zipcar depot on broad and thought the exact same thing.
Good luck commuting like 2 hours to work from outside the beltway because there's no way they could afford or desire to live anywhere in actual DC.

No idea I just always stumble into them while getting shit for the holidays/7 fishes. I'm sure you can just show up the eve or the day before with the same shtick and they wouldn't be too upset.

There's a group that does this with a shopping cart full of booze every year in the italian market. They're always hammered and it's honestly the only caroling I enjoy.

There's an absolute ton in Packer Park, which feels much more like the Northeast or even somewhere like Upper Darby.
Tried to walk through there one time when a subway expressed to the stadiums because phils games and the buses were fucked. It's wild.

That's so Kaufman-esque.
I also love the touch of admitting he's been accused of a lot of things but never been found guilty, then going with the start of every street hustle I've ever heard - "Now what I'm trying to do for you, right here..."
Musical number really ties it all together.

Here's the opendataphilly source. Last updated about 5 years ago, but streets that are permit almost never revert to non-permit, so starting from there is better than nothing.
