Retail, baby. I never though of Express Edit as being a “discount mall store” but keep on gatekeeping, I guess. Or are you just mad that businesses aren’t fleeing like some of you predicting 😂

KEEP THEM COMING!

Edit: I guess people actually don’t want more retail coming to Walnut? Y’all are confusing 🙄

Hell yea! Keep ‘em coming. Fuck the naysayers who claim everyone is running from Philly.

Sang Kee is great, pretty cheap for Peking Duck. I’m also super partial to Nom Wah

Stick to streets with dedicated lanes, like Pine, Spruce, 22nd, etc. Ride the Schuykill River Trail for sure. Youll be fine

The job that brought me here was working as a photographer. They didn’t tell me it was seasonal, so soon I was freelancing and picking up compost on the weekends

It’ll come back to them, somehow. Scammers are the lowest of the low

This scam has existed since the 70’s actually!

I have a nice used receiver I could sell you, drop me a line if you’re interested. And don’t buy White Van speakers, they’re garbage

Didn’t happen to me in Philly, but I’ve experienced it elsewhere, mainly in parking lots of box stores. It was definitely a scam - they would tell you they had an extra stereo that hadn’t been counted in inventory, worth $3000 but they’d “give you a deal” for $600 or so. Always looked fancy and had some fancy name like “premier sonic solutions” when in fact the speakers were cheap as can be and often would overload your amp and fry it. In fact, in the Hi-Fi world, they’re referred to as “white van speakers” since they look deceptively nice but in reality are awful

Rhynhart for mayor!

Nah not if it’s the one I was at. Beautiful skies all night. He had this cool octopus-type thing on stage

Oh cool I was at this show

I know they had to be replaced, but damn this was a beautiful facility

Often it is, but once they were able to tell me where my car had been courtesy at least. 3rd District.

Fucking starlings. They are kinda crazy little dinosaurs though

Now I wanna know

You have to revel in its disgusting charm. It’s a unique kind of charm

It’s not exactly an antique store, but I’ve found some fabulous antiques at Philly Aid Thrift, all well under market value. Sometimes a complete steal. Pretty hit or miss, but I live close so I pop in frequently

Their camo pattern is quite different as well, but that will be less obvious to the casual observer

That’s a crazy one. Sadly I’ve also been reading about how rape is an integral part of Russias military machine, so part of me is sad that it was maybe a conscript being raped by his superior officer
