You would think that an organization as large as CBS would have someone on staff that speaks Thai and could help the blond lady be confident in pronouncing Chutatip 'Nok' Suntaranon. That being said, I didn't know about Kalaya before now and I've been jonesing for some good Thai food since I left Queens. Might need to make a trip up to Fishtown this weekend.

Reply to A friend told me there is a rail car on tracks on the second floor of the Philadelphia Library near the boiler room. What would that be for? by [deleted]
In the main library? If I had to guess, it’s probably for processing and sorting holds and and interlibrary loan books for transport around the system. Like this in NYPL: https://youtu.be/4IOv1O6SULY
They have a massive space in Queens for the entire system. It might actually process all the NYC library systems.

Reply to comment by zephyrskye in What is being built next to Penn Medicine in University City? by TheFartingKing_56
It’ll be 17 with a 2 level mechanical penthouse….but in typical UPHS fashion, no floor numbered 13. So level 17 is floor 18, etc
Source: work for one the unsuccessful mechanical bidders. Worked on it for 8 months. To lose the job to a bunch of clowns who can’t add.

I’m certainly glad PPD doesn’t have drones.

Bro I literally had a guy run into my car on Market (fraud), and he was laying in the street for like 20 minutes.
911 wouldn't answer. People freaking the fuck out at me thinking I killed a guy.
Cops show up 20 minutes later, tell me they don't have time for this, and when a very nice witness came over to tell them the dude was running in traffic for a while, they finally decided to call him an ambulance as a way to get him to leave.
This story pisses me off.
Edit: And if the very nice employee/owner of the restaurant that provided video to me or the woman who stood by with me for 30 minutes is reading this - you have no idea how thankful I am for you. Thank you. I think the only reason I got through that is because I was so damn mad at the guy, and aware of what he did/the fact I caught it in time to stop. I was able to keep it together just long enough. If you guys didn't come out to help I probably would have gotten arrested.
Edit 2: And also sued

I ain't shrugging. Philly has a phenomenal food scene and I'm glad to see this.

Doesn’t it already do that though? It’s so high across the board, of course high earners will try to go around it somehow

No, which is why she doesn't get a whole caravan accompanying her. However, it doesn't appear like she even gets a police escort; it's just her and her driver. I'm not surprised that the driver is a trained officer and not a regular chauffeur, as he may also double as protection.

It's not a display. It's in the out of sight areas of the library. It had a purpose at one point, but nobody who works there knows what it's for. I thought perhaps it was used to move coal to the boiler decades ago.

It’s unfortunate nobody could 302 this guy for continually jumping into traffic.
