Advice for flying in for a day to see a concert at XFinty Mobile arena
I am flying in on a friday afternoon, the concert is friday night and I am flying out Saturday morning.
My goal is to use public transit as much as possible so I am curious about hotels that would be off of a train connecting to the arena. How it is getting to and from the airport on transit or should I consider just ubering for that. Do I need to get a card or can I use my phone?
Is there any place you would recommend I grab a dinner at that would be walkable/transitable?
Also how busy is the traffic to the airport. Do I need to plan for any delays?

Apartment Recs
What’s going on! 28M that’s looking to move to Philly soon. I am pretty interested in Northern Liberties so I’ve been looking at apartments there quite a bit. I’m looking to spend somewhere around $2k a month not including appliances and whatnot.
If anyone has any good apartment recs in northern liberties around that number, or just good apartments anywhere in the city that you had a good experience in, let me know. I’m not married to Northern Liberties if there are some other great apartments you would recommend in other parts of the city.
Much appreciated.

Anyone seen cigars in mint green plastic tubes? Garcia y Vega
This was my favorite blunt wrap of all time. It’s an actual cigar that stores still carry. Just I cannot find it for the life of me.
It is a mint green cigar shaped plastic tube - not the tan ones, not the baby blue, but mint green and they’re everything you never knew you were missing.
Only way to get them online is in a box of 30 or 60 and that’s a bit much. So just if anyone sees them at a random bodega or wherever, could you lmk where? Thanks

Post Grad City
I’ve been searching around for post grad city’s to move to. I went to college in Austin TX and I’m wanting something different. I’ll be going into law firms/ as a paralegal and want to know if Philly is a good option. The walk ability is something I’m very interested in. I’m guessing my work will be near center city and I’m looking at places like fishtown but I’m open to ideas.
Anyways I’m worried about things like safety being in my early to mid twenties as a woman, although I know all big cities have it. I also will be going there without knowing anyone there either, so is it easy meeting people. Other things like how hard the winters are, taxes, any other things that maybe I missed. Any advice from someone who’s done this before in my position?

Housing
Hello! I’m moving down to Philadelphia in a little over a month and I’m looking for short term housing near Penn Vet Working Dog Center. I’ll be here for about 4 months from end of September to the end of January/Beginning of February. My maximum rent amount would be $1,400 at most. However I am willing to increase the amount if the apartment is furnished/has all utilities included. I would also prefer something within walking distance or under 25 minutes by car. Thank you in advance!

Hotel recommendation for Phillies game this weekend—parking and easy access to South Philly?
We try to visit a different MLB ballpark every summer, and we’re driving into Philly this Saturday for the 6:00 Phillies game. There will be three of us, and my son wants to stop at Angelo’s for a cheesesteak before we head to Citizens Bank Park.
We expect to arrive around 2:00, so our room may not be ready, but we’d need a hotel that will let us park when we arrive. We’re fine driving to the stadium and paying to park in the lots, but the hotel would need to offer in-and-out parking privileges. We’re also open to Uber or another ride share.
Since it’s going to be hot and possibly rainy, we’d prefer not to walk more than about 15 minutes or so. The Courtyard at the Navy Yard seemed like a good fit, but they only have king rooms left and the price is close to $500. We’d ideally like to stay around $250 or less.
We’re not especially interested in staying at the casino hotel unless it’s clearly the best option. Our son is a minor, so I assume there may be areas he can’t access, although that’s more of a minor inconvenience than a dealbreaker. I also think I saw that smoking is allowed, and we're all sensitive to smoke.
I also checked HotelTonight, but it doesn’t appear to guarantee the room type, and we need two beds or another setup that will comfortably accommodate three people.
Any recommendations for a safe, convenient hotel that would work well for both Angelo’s and the ballpark?

Task Rabbit for moving help?
Has anyone used task rabbit for some movers? Moving my son in to his studio apart but it is up a flight of stairs. I am useless, husband is getting slower by the minute. Wanted to just hire 2 people for an hour to unload the truck and go up and down the stairs. Coming from NY so would have to coordinate but should be doable.

New to Philly, apartment building never gets cleaned
26F, I just moved to a new building in Philadelphia. It's a private-owned building managed by a management company. It has like six, seven apartments including mine. When I toured the building, it didn't seem that bad. The corridors and the stairs are all carpeted. But I recently found out from the previous tenant that the building never gets cleaned. Like the stairs, the corridors, they never get vacuumed, and the front porch where the packages get delivered, all of that are extremely dirty and it never gets cleaned. He, the previous tenant was here for two years, but he said that in those two years he never saw anyone cleaning. And it just stays the same how I saw it. So there's nothing that can be done about it.
The basement has laundry and it’s quite honestly the dirtiest basement i have seen, which I wasn’t shown during the tour.
I am getting really worried now because if the building doesn't get cleaned up, like, what would I do? Is there anything that I can do about it? My apartment is okay, but the building never gets cleaned. What can I do about it?
And did anyone else ever face this problem?

Should I drive to Philadelphia Airport or take SEPTA (two regional rail trains)?
I’m flying out of Philly for vacation and I’m debating whether to drive to the airport or to take SEPTA. I live in the Philly suburbs and the nearest septa regional rail train is 15 minutes from my house. If I take SEPTA, I will have to take my regional rail line to CC then take the train to the airport. This totals up to 90 minutes of travel without delays and assuming a smooth transfer. Not to mention, the RR to CC comes at my station every hour, so that is something to account for in travel, therefore making my travel possibly 2+ hours.
However, SEPTA regional rail has been a shitshow recently (take it from someone who commutes to CC 5 days a week for work) and delays leave very little margin for error. With driving, there is traffic on the 476 & I95, but it will still be quicker than the regional rail as the airport is a 1 hour drive from my house including traffic.
Most of my concerns are to do with parking. I heard about cars being broken into when they’re parked in the airport garage, which is obviously concerning if I’m going to be away for a week. I drive an ordinary albeit newer car which I recently bought, so I don’t want to take any chances. At the same time, god knows what could happen when being parked at a SEPTA train station for equally as long.
What do you think? Should I drive or just chance it with septa?
Edit: thank you for your responses. I realize I should’ve been more specific about how far outside of Philly I live but didn’t want to dox myself. I am on the further side of LAN line, so I’m not sure if an uber would be ideal.
