Meade is buried up on Ridge Avenue.
Meade was not a terrible commander. He was just such a dour man that when Grant was promoted above him, few thought of it as a bad thing.

Also,
When Delcos talk about "greasing the poles," this is what they are talking about.

I was at the last one in 2020. Magnificent day with great friends.
Monk's and Brauhaus Schmitz are city jewels.

Reply to Philadelphia is now officially a ‘Certified Welcoming’ city. Here’s what it means for immigrant communities. by ColdJay64
Certification for a newly minted term with arbitrary qualifications and vague benefits.
The "sanctuary city" thing turned into a clusterfuck, so change the name to something that really doesn't mean anything and bask in the glow of irrelevant altruism.

Reply to Man arrested in Bucks County in connection with killing of Temple University police officer by MacKelvey
The same people in here that were upset this would fit a narrative about a black guy killing a cop are somewhat satisfied it is a white Bucks kid that killed a cop.
Meanwhile, the cop is still dead. A cop killer is in jail. Hopefully, he never has a free day for as long as he lives. That's the narrative.
I am not sure why anyone would look at this murderer's Internet presence other than to find fodder to lob at those they disagree with. He's a cop killer. That's his identity from here on.

Reply to ‘Our children are in crisis’: Safe Path monitors fan out over Philadelphia high schools to deter violence by redeyeblink
It seems the "gun free zone" signs from the 90's were feckless.
Volunteer-based programs run by the city tend to misallocate funds away from achieving goals. That means they are crippled in their early stages.
This program also ignores that shootings are so brazen that the perps ignore all bystanders. If City Hall can be shot up weekly, any place can.
Safe Paths is another altruistic program that will have minimal efficacy. I want it to succeed, but it is limited by circumstances.

Reply to Mayoral Candidate Rebecca Rhynhart lays out plan of attack for opioid crisis from Kensington by ColdJay64
She is under the impression dealers will be punished by Krasner.
"Community policing" is one of those terms that is never defined lucidly.
This is too Forrest Gump-y for me to be impressed. If she's the smartest person in the room, this is gonna be a shitshow.

The beaches, yes. Quite a few under 21 get in the bars.
More teens in Wildwood, but OC should not be the party town. Leave OC as it has always been.

OC has a niche that should be maintained. If teens want to party, Wildwood and Margate are not far away.
