this is so disappointing, I had no idea there were these kind of issues and I've been going there since it was opened in the old spot. Sorry you had to deal with bullshit.

I ride a motorcycle and follow weather very closely because of it, so I can plan my commutes, parking, and necessary gear. There is a noticeable shift in temperatures and seasons as the years have gone by.

You know what drives me NUTS? That turn off Aramingo. Driving north and taking the left to get onto 95, I often nearly turn onto the exit ramp. Something about the design and color fucks with my depth perception and I just can’t see it properly. I can’t be the only one.

Reply to comment by CallMeMattF in Restaurant Week Returns to Center City Philadelphia. Which Spots Are Taking Part in 2023? by ColdJay64
you're exactly right. It was commodified, and instead of being an event like experience to spotlight local businesses it became budget shoppers way of getting a night out. Which I'm ok with in one sense, but when you work at one of the best restaurants in the city (which I did) and have to deal with people (Penn students and suburbanites mostly) making ridiculous demands and not understanding the point of the service it's maddening. I can't tell you how many times upon greeting I'd say "have you dined with us before?" and the response would be "yes last restaurant week". It was clear that the intention of building new clientele to bring back and see what we really did just didn't work.

oh come on. Beddia is banging, it's just cool to hate especially since Dave Fuckboi rolled through and was lukewarm to it.

this is actually really fascinating, and in a weird way I actually feel safer now about where I live (east of Aramingo, west of Richmond, south of Allegheny, north of Lehigh).

I work with someone like this. You can literally smell him when he enters a room and doesn't even open his mouth. It's gag inducing for me.

I have a complex about oral hygiene. I'm incredibly sensitive to bad breath, and I pride myself on mine being fresh. Every time I see vids or pics of L. Ron I wince at the thought of what his mouth must've smelled like.

yes because it's awful to be informed about what's happening in our community and all of their reports are opinion pieces. You fucking potato.

Reply to Landlord has shared utility hooked up to my electric: anyone have experience with this? by ModalEclipse
different context but I do have experience with this. I'd call PECO first, and ask if they can come out and check your box to see if it's properly set up. In 2012 I had them come out only to find that the water heater to the upstairs unit where I lived was hooked up to my breakers. In the roughly 7 years I had lived there they estimated I paid anywhere from 5k-7k extra in electric costs because of that.

see I'd rather have Jon keep the overnights, he brings the right conversation style and fun that's needed in that spot with the massive shoes he had to fill.

Reply to comment by MalcalypseespylaclaM in Restaurants near the Union Transfer? by dm896
in my experience there's a reason for this, and it's mostly due to the actual customers. The food at LC is at best 'meh', but even when they have a completely staffed business it's nearly impossible to meet guest demands. People want their shit, they want it now, and they don't seem to understand that there are other paying customers that also have orders. (This isn't me accusing you, this has been my general observation the handful of times I've been there).
