Basically we need to clean up our city. There is nothing politically incorrect about that.

I'm really hopeful for the city and goddamn the next mayoral election can't come soon enough. I'm excited about all the new construction announced this year but, I'm wondering how much that had to do with the 10 year tax abatement expiring.
Also, we need to do something about the trash and gun violence if we expect the city to keep growing.

Was that the time when it was supposed to be her first day of work behind the bar? I was there that day.

Seems pretty likely. I was more of a pizza pub person. I stopped going to the station after the George Floyd protests when Lou was threatening to shoot all those people. I'm not in any way afraid of him just...fuck him, I'm not spending a penny there.

I've actually heard that story before. Fuck Lou and his mom's shitty bar.

The Inquirer wrote an entire article on how shitty the owner is.

You can post up under the Blockbuster sign on West Passyunk.
The refinery
There are still some empty spots in the Navy Yard
The Station Bar is abandoned half the time but, it's not cool

Does KJ actually do anything? I reported a problematic house for years and his staff advised me to move.

There are some cool spots West of Broad in South Philly. There are also some shitholes full of dead-enders as well.
Spots to Try:
Second District
South House
ARS (Though it does skew to a more family crowd)
South Philly Taproom
La Lorna
Black Cat
Taproom on 19th
Jiminy Cricket's
The Republican (RIP)
Spots to Avoid:
The Station
SK Bar
17 Snyder Chinese
Hennessy (I like this spot but, might not be what you're looking for)
624 Lounge (I think this was shut down by L&I)

I hope he stays in the race so the prices at Shoprite stay low.

If they did, it would solve the abandoned vehicle problem within days.
