I’m looking at a place near 20th and Walnut. My budget is $300 a month. Is it relatively safe and can you recommend any good restaurants nearby?

I love how every question in these threads is like "I want somewhere safe" or "I would prefer a low crime area"

No, PPA can't be summoned like that. PPA enforces things like meters and timed parking zones.

911 is for all police matters in Philly, including cars parked on the sidewalk.

Literally anywhere. Walk up Walnut Street and take your pick.

If you mean Grays Ferry the neighborhood (south of Grays Ferry Ave and west of 25th), mostly safe, but not much to do either, and not great transit into Center City.

Is Bonk's actually a cool bar? The name is great but when driving by I haven't been able to get a read on the vibe.

It was originally Xerox, not sure if it still is. The big problem was that Xerox had never done a fare system before, but they were the lowest bidder.

Reply to Market Street will soon have bright red bus lanes to improve reliability and speed by RoughRhinos

Philly desperately wants to believe it can solve any number of problems passively.

You get clean subway stations by having a human being clean them.

You get clear travel lanes by ticketing and towing cars parked in them.

Still like that every morning. Then they drive across the street to sit in the CVS drive thru. Maybe hit the Wendy's too. Fishtown loves a drive thru.
