A street view image showing how there's no pedestrian crossing near a staircase that's poorly maintained.

A historical image of a pedestrian path leading up to the Girard Ave Bridge.

Kelly Drive in Fairmount Park has been engineered to remove most pedestrian crossings and amenities, to speed up traffic.

A thread with 8 examples of things that have been lost, with historical images. South to north.

Favorite Mcglinchey's moment was the night the Phillies won the World Series. Pat Burrell received a police escort to the front door of Mcglinchey's. He walked in with a couple of officers and they all walked out with cases of beer on their shoulders.

Transit getting scraps even in states where the Democrats control both chambers and the governorships is a shanda. Hard to think of a government function that directly touches more lives and is more of a marker on the question of 'can government deliver' and ... yet.

We're holding a celebration of public transit/benefit show & looking for SEPTA employees who also have a fun skill they'd like to show off. Do you know a bus driver who can play a musical instrument? Do you know a rail machinist who can juggle? Send em my way! gettingbare.eventbrite.com

Aldi definitely coming to 22nd and Washington. Cool to see Aldi continuing the trend of murals on businesses started by Chad at Small Oven Bakery/Porco's and Breezy's.

Goes well with the embarrassing "walk of Seamus."

Coffee plus seltzer is criminally underutilized.

My account mysteriously stopped working and after getting no help I just signed up again, as it didn't seem I had been being charged. And I haven't had to log in excessively since. Feature? Bug? Who knows?

A Wawa sandwich.

This is so cool. Check out all of these great projects to connect people to the Delaware River.

Fits nicely with my buddy's description of going to Catholic High School. Learning how wonderful the Catholic Church is during religion class followed immediately by learning how awful the Catholic Church is during history class.

Congrats to the Birds! We're going to New Orleans!
