Closer to Friday you go, the more likely it will kick. But next few days should be pretty reliable.

I suspect they're not bothering to transfer it. But yeah, if I could get the five towed it would be great for everyone. Right now a single guest to the neighborhood, or work truck, throws off the whome situation. It any of the vacant houses fill, and don't have rear parking, it's foing to get ugly.

I feel like they could at least get scrap for it. When my pos car died I got like $100 for the metal and had to do 0 work

Really cool shot. Thanks for sharing.

And a flathead screwdriver!

Except Philly has plenty of parking spaces on sidewalks.

Same here I don't think that I have ever noticed a gas pump or any cars filling up there. Also what is so historic about a gas station. Tear it down and build a wawa gas station in its place. More Philadelphians would appreciate that more than some dead gas station.

I do pronounce, though perhaps not as strongly as some others. To my ear/pronunciation, 'historic' falls in the fuzzy border between the sets of H-words that obviously require an 'a' or an 'an'. I think 'an historic' sounds better but if you think 'a historic' is preferable then go ahead and use it, I won't complain.

These morons still think channel 10 is CBS.

Ticketing people is PPA’s job. Also, PPA is a straight up cursed establishment.

They are always tweaking the algorithm. There's "priority rematch", introduced back in 2018which is when the apps (Uber/Lyft) pair a driver making a dropoff at the airport with someone needing a ride who has just arrived. This is supposed to lead to riders get their rides just a bit quicker while removing the need for drivers to go to the lot. As a result however, if incoming flights aren't making heavy demands on ride-share vehicles someone in the lot can wait a long time for a ride than would be the case before they implemented priority rematch.

Do you somehow not pronounce the “h?”

This is not one of those situations. There are always so many people there that I’ve just kind of assumed that this is what the cell phone lot is, a section of road widened out for cars to idle in.

There are five on my block that haven't moved in the year I've been here. The dead one near mine belonged to the guy two houses down who died before we moved in. Someone removes the mail periodically, but that's it. Otherwise, the house and car just sit. It's an older car, like late 80s/early 90s, so it has zero value, and the heirs have no reason to bother selling it.

I'm trying to convince the landlord to let me dismantle to creaky rear deck so we park in the back.

Parkway is paying the $1 million to move it off their land so they can develop it. They weren't ever going to donate that money to anyone.

I don't know, now that prices are down maybe we could set up a vendor nearby and let people throw eggs at it?

Yeah, I am not a CPA, but in my personal experience - you shouldn't be on the hook for any tricky tax scheme (and if they have anything NYC taken out of your paycheck while you live in Philly and pay city wage tax - talk to a proper tax person ASAP as possible).

Any local CPA should be fine otherwise (can't direct you to anyone specific, since I use either H&R Block or family does it for me).

I legit don’t know how you can live in a city, some of these people their entire lives of 70+ years and not know how to parallel park. And then they complain when someone “takes their spot”

If you want a driveway move to Cherry Hill like everyone else who’s complaining
