Reply to AMA: I’m Paul Farber, host of WHYY's new podcast 'The Statue.' Ask Me Anything! by PaulFarber
Love WHYY and the pod! 2 questions for you!
- Not sure if you get into this in the most recent episode of The Statue, I haven't listend to it yet unfortunately, but are there any efforts being made to open up a boxing gym at Joe Fraziers old gym? There is some development going on in North Philly so curious if this is on the table.
- Any idea why boxing is such a big part of Philly? Was this solely because of Rocky or did it predate Rocky? I feel like it's such a huge part of Philly history.
​
Can't wait to hear more!

Highly recommend Aldi and honestly if you can get a bike and some paniers, saves you a lot of time. I ride once a week over to the one at Front and Oregon and it saves me and my wife so much money.

They smoked pre COVID and they continue to smoke now. It's one of the worst parts of taking trains and one of the many reasons I avoid it. Buses are solid and I tend to use those or bike.

Holy shit, what's the one fun thing voters don't know about you? And the libertarian answers "I never wore a mask during the lockdown" My guy, that's fun? I mean okay, I see the stance you're taking but like do you just talk about Uncle Larry and Covid conspiracies while sharing a beer with someone. Good lord. People wonder why third parties never really take off.

Call SEPTA police (215) 580-8111. Obviously as discretely as possible but all the cops.
​
This was pre-covid but we waited for a train at Tasker Morris and a number of kids came into the station and started smashing the lights, trying to overturn the trash cans, and just generally making a fucking mess. The cops were called and arrived on the next train. Pretty wild how quickly they showed up. Obviously this is not a guarantee that the same thing will happen.

Oh damn, this is the first time I'm hearing of a toxic culture there. Sorry you experienced that and I would truly hope that CHOP would do better. Where did you work there?
