Enforce the laws! Wait, not on me you scumbags, the other laws!

Next time, pay for parking. Oh wait, you just did.

Well there were gunshots fired in West Philly. You can’t expect them to be patrolling there.

Clearly a home that likes its soda.

They sells seeds and bulbs. Or at least they did. Probably a couple of flowers around. They have some flower pots. My wife got inspired to do a banzai tree some years ago and bought some various supplies for that.

It’s fine if that’s what you’re going for. But if they’re asking people to drop some meaningful $$$ for a flower show and a third of the floor is people selling crap from Billy Mays infomercials, I’m sort of passing.

Sometimes plant stuff, flower food, etc. other stuff is Shamwows, cleaning solutions. Same crap you see at other shows. A lot of the exhibits are landscapers so “flower show” in some ways is a bit of a misnomer anyway.

The flower show was on a downward slide before Covid. My wife was a very loyal attendee but we stopped going after a while. More and more of the show was taken up by vendors than exhibits over the years. And not even plant vendors.

If you haven’t seen the show other than the outdoor thing, might as well give it a go and judge for yourself. But I’ll pass.

Well, Darwin continues to rule.

Mississippi remains on brand.

They are lazy and cheap. They could easily park in the garage for a few bucks get their party and get out.

Just another of of those things Philadelphians say we would like to change but we really don’t. Start ticketing people on the ramps and you’ll start getting the litany of complaints from overentitled jerkoffs about how police should focus on actual crime.

Daily? Good luck. If you’re looking for a beater and can deal with the occasional issue, then go for it. But don’t believe that you are getting a cat that will stand up to daily driving. You might get lucky…

They should consider a commission to manage the police. Headed by, by a commissioner of some sort. One could call it a Police Commissioner. Yes, a Police Commissioner of Philadelphia. We might need one of those.

What’s the fine for pronouncing a dead person alive?

Conservatives now concerned that coffee will make you gay and less racist.

The Plan: prosecuting shoplifters is second on his list after repealing the soda tax. Then he’ll find money for more police.

73% against a ban doesn’t sound like a polarized nation. It sounds more like a loud minority that made it look like they were anything but a loud minority.

The residents of South Philly long ago made it a zone where rules don’t apply. Politicians have been afraid to take it on because they’ve needed the votes and the ward captains.

The new residents are part of the Free Parking is a Human Right movement, so little will ever change.

The senate doesn’t care, they got their performative impeachment and can go campaign on that to the rubes in their districts.

You won’t find that at PHL. I agree with the suggestion to see if the party can wait at the airport and then get them. Or better yet walk over the sky bridge and let them wait in the Marriott lobby. You can meet them there and it will probably be more comfortable.

You‘re up against the people who think free parking is a human right in the city.

Are you not entertained?! Now pay up…

Chicago style or just thick crust? There’s a Santuccis up that way. Hook and Master is Chicago style but down in Kensington, so probably not far enough out.

Unfortunately getting something like a Lou Malnati‘s out this way is tough.
