Every part of this is so stupid and I feel so awful for this person who just wants to do tech consulting for the GSA and make Gelato.

We need demo lite protections and partial facade preservation; no one for example sees the value of protecting the non street visible back of a church when the very revenue needed for its restoration, will likely come from bumping out the back to allow for an arts performance space for community use

They are easily the #1 source of trash in our neighborhoods.
More than menus, street litter, and porch pirate residue.
(That's good news; we don't suffer as much from illegal dumping, etc).
Please, contain recyclables - don't use paper๐๏ธ

This is a good overview of many of the issues that will be on the agenda for the coming legislative term.

Each platform can and does choose to boost certain content while throttling down other content.
For example, neutral, moderate, informative content and general civic updates may get fewer eyes; sensationalist or extremist content may get more by way of engagement
Trash night?
Please ensure recycling is in a hard container (ok if not blue; just label it recycling). Paper bags blow trash everywhere.
For trash, please tie up bags securely. If your residence supports it, please use a trash can to contain the bags.
Congratulations to our state legislators on this inauguration day!
Thank you for your dedication in service to the people of our community and beyond.

Perhaps the city should also take greater enforcement action to ensure landlords provide the basic dignity of adequate week long trash storage for their tenants.
A ton of new retail, and no apartments , is the latest plan for Midwood Developmentโs huge vacant parcel in the Italian Market www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

Thursday morning remains our recycling and "primary" trash day.

Being #WinterReady means understanding winter risks you face and taking steps now to prepare.
Home heating is the second leading cause of home fires, and winter is when most home fires happen.
Do not run a space heater unattended or placed too closely to flammables.
In addition to e-force, we also partner with our elected officials from time to time to host collection points for electronics.
