FEDERAL DONUTS COMING TO CENTER CITY! by frankdefazioin philadelphia

You're really trying to win this crowd over aren't you?

First of all, you don't need to "study the posting rules" to know posting links from your blog repeatedly will earn you some haters. In fact, these angry comments are the only kind of conversation you've ever engaged in aside from the submissions from your blog/advertising platform for your real estate business.

Reddit is a huge community and r/philadelphia is a subcommunity within that. If you're just going to be link posting automaton and then respond angrily when you annoy people, just get the fuck out.

Won't matter. That's like if Franklin Fountain opened up next to a Dairy Queen.

Best places for single professionals to live near Philly by iAMaHUSKYin philadelphia

[–]mikeyil 0 points1 point ago

If you're gonna be commuting to Trenton more, I might just say you should live in Northern Liberties or Fishtown and then just plan accordingly (leave early or later) on the days you're in Plymouth Meeting. I-76 can be brutal but it's doable if you don't have to take it all the time.

So a lorry just broke down outside my house and loads of sheep escaped from it. by RSnodgrassin funny

Did you try counting how many sheep there were? If so, were you able to stay awake?

There's no happy medium here, especially when you consider "cheap cab distance" -- for all places that you could consider to be convenient to either work location, there is no way a cab would cost any less than $20-30.

I'd recommend Conshocken which would leave you quite close to Plymouth Meeting/Fort Washington and it's accessible to the turnpike which could get you to Trenton with a reasonable commute (I think). You could take the train to and from downtown.

There's also Roxborough/East Falls/Manayunk, which have great neighborhoods and give you a shorter train ride downtown but I'd imagine getting to Trenton from that area would probably be brutal considering its distance from I-95 and the fact that taking Rt. 1 to Trenton the whole way would probably suck.

Lastly, maybe look into Doylestown, I think you might be a bit young for the area but worth looking into. I can't vouch for it but it's a walkable town and between your two places of employment. Long haul from downtown though, but still doable by train.

From my perspective, I'd rather take my chances with a commute and try and wiggle my schedule so I leave or get home during off-peak hours than live in some outlying town or so-so part of Philly. So, what I really wanna tell you is to just get an apartment somewhere in West Philly, or Center City/Old city near the highway in a decent neighborhood. However, I know that sort of thing isn't for everybody.

What are some Philadelphia establishments you would not recommend? by Ididnotknowthatin philadelphia

Sadly, I've seen mostly natives rave about their damned awful pizza.

I'm going to avoid mentioning the obvious, plentiful, douchebag bars or smelly hipster hangouts.

Burger.org - They're trying to pull off this whole kosher/organic thing, that's fine...but they could at least try to make it good, which it's not.

Lovash - I'm no Indian food expert but I've been disappointed by my meal here about 75% of the time, the remaining 25% only somewhat satisfied. It's just bland and/or inconsistent.

South Street Diner - The food sucks even for a diner.
