Reply to RECONSTRUCTION ON I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA WILL PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN EXIT 27: OFFICIALS by CockercombeTuff

I was driving back from Franklin Mills to Fishtown on 95 tonight around 8. Right around Cottman all the way to Aramingo it was backed up going 5-10 mph if that, added +30 minutes to the drive home since it went from 3 lanes to 1 due to bridge work. 😭

Two years ago it was Kiki Bar (a friend works for Kiki Vodka and she used/ran the space), then someone took over it and called it Tiki Bar last summer. Lol.

Reply to What’s your PGW Bill Like? by [deleted]

1800 sqft, new construction build last year. Was like $20 in summer (gas cooking) but the last few months it was around 110-120/mo, keeping the house around 67-69 most of the time.

Also I only share a wall with one neighbor, fwiw.

The Ave is fun. Not a fan of the balloons though.

It's still nice, especially if one is delayed you know how long you'll be waiting.

I live right around the border of Fishtown/Kensington and it's great to see businesses coming up this way. Hoping all the new construction happening around Front St between Girard & York-Dauphin continues to bring more restauraunts and places to shop up this way.

When I moved I had 3 or 4 quotes and College Hunks was the cheapest by a good amount for me.

I paid college hunks moving junk to move to Philly from Collegeville and it was ~600 but it was 1 BR + odds and ends from my parent's basement, already all in boxes and most of it ready to go in the garage. So if you got quoted 1k that sounds reasonable.

Yeah, lots of construction going on of lots they cleared out and permits are always on the fence at these places.

I feel like some of their stuff costs more than going down to Acme but I also only get a few things from there. I like going to them them if in a pinch though since I'm right down the street.

Pretty much what the others said, stick to the established. I only had one person come to my door since I moved in in May, about (and I'm paraphrasing/trying to recall) "PECO doing something new and making sure it shows up on my bill" -- I said I'm not sure but I'd get a bill shut the door, never came back, and they left and never returned.

Basically if anyone comes to your door regarding utilities, don't answer it. I mean there's really no reason to answer your door unless you're expecting a package. Don't know if physical mail about this ever comes in, I've only gotten scam deed/home insurance things through USPS.
