Heavy metal hair salon in east passyunk

If you eat meat, check out Blacklock in Soho. Went in 2017 and I still have the meat sweats

Dudes that run passyunk ave are expats from here. So not as much of a gamble in this case

Is this the same lady from a few doors down 13th who puts out the insane toy diaramas and writes unhinged shit all over the front of the house? I'd kill to have a beer with her neighbors and find out what living next to her is like

Housing: yes…. Another mostly empty dranoff condo thing? No

I'm going to die mad about Melrose closing. Fuckin horse shit

It's kinda shit

Won't get fixed. It will fall and the streets dept will put a cone on it

Elmo. This is a feature not a bug

Go to infinite. Worth the trip

The real kicker is that even if they win, they STILL aren't paying a living wage to the grad students. Like the university is acting like they are asking for 600,000 per year, when they are actually asking for literally slightly better but still poverty wages

Ahhhh. Mystery solved.

Who had Delco on their bingo cards?

Wake up mid week, I'm off work. Happen to have cash on me so I can get a pistachio croissant from Artisan boulanger patisserie. Take a stroll down the avenue, pop into rivals and get a latte. Chill at the fountain for breakfast.

Take a stroll up to center city, go the scenic route thru all the tiny side streets between 10th and broad between Lombard and spruce. Stop for another coffee at last drop, continue my stroll up towards fittler sq and take a walk on the catwalk to dog watch. Walk along the SRT and contemplate how happy I am not to be stuck in the traffic across the river. Enjoy the view from the south st bridge.

Head back east, probably get more coffee ( I have a problem). Sit and enjoy it while chilling at St Peters church yard ( beautiful flowers in spring and summer).

Start south again and cut up to hit the Italian market on my way home, pop into dibrunos and Claudio's and spend way too much money. Window shop at fante's.

Pop into manatawny for a cheeky cocktail once I get back to the avenue.

Head home, make a drink and a snack. Post up on my stoop. Shoot the shit with my neighbors until the streetlights come on. Head in, make dinner, watch something I like with my husband. Go to bed.

Perfect day

It really says something when I feel totally safe around hoards or drunk mad folks, but will absolutely do everything possible to get as far away as possible from kids in this city. I've lived here for most of my life and I haven't felt this wary in a long while

Name a more iconic Philly thing to do

Acme has amoroso. They should be fine overnight

A wins a win man. You're honestly bummed that Philadelphia, one of the most shit upon franchises in the league was dominant this year and is going all the way?

Lololol

South Philly will have the best vibes. Down by east passyunk (just off broad) there are Lucky 13, South House, Separatist, Watkins drinkery,

Lincoln dr

Make sure they are living on campus. The surrounding area is LIGHT-YEARS better than it was in the early and mid 00s. But on campus is way safer until they get their sea legs

Most depressing years of my life living off campus at temple. No socializing, because as soon as class was out I'd need to get home because walking in my neighborhood two blocks off campus and living there alone was the plot to a murder podcast waiting to happen

I remember grad hosp being dirty as heck and iffy in spots when I was growing up and even to when I was in college. Watching grad hospital go from iffy (I lived closer to Washington around 06 grandparents were up around 20 and Catherine) to some of the most valuable real estate in the city under Street was kinda bonkers to watch
