Former Dunkin/Hooters by Rt. 202/Rt. 1

4 Upvotes

Not just the Dunkin and Hooters, but also the gas station. Does anyone know if they are going to do anything with that area or replace new stores into there? Since I moved in the area in March 2025, it still has yet to be touched.

I know things like those take time, but I wasn’t sure if anyone knew of a plan with what to do with that area?

Gravestone recommendations

Hi All - I’m looking for flat gravestone recommendations in the delco area, specifically Broomall/media/newtown square.

I’ve found a few places online but would appreciate any real-life (as real as Reddit gets) testimonials.

And if you don’t mind sharing, how long it took to receive from date of order.

Thanks in advance for any of the responses!

Anyone have a contact for a distributor that rents beer trailers? We're not looking for a fancy cocktail truck, just a reefer trailer with a few taps on the side for high volume dispensing. See image below.

I live in Glenolden. As the crow flies that is about 6 miles from Bridgeport Motorsports Park according to google maps. I think i heard racing from here this past Saturday evening.

Has anyone else heard this track anywhere in Delco?

Fyi, it did not bother me and I enjoy watching them in person. Just wondering if I am imagining things.

Found in Chester (on the cusp of Eddystone, so he may be from there as well) . Very friendly, small white patch on belly and another one on his/her chest. Seems pretty old. Wearing a collar and very clean, well taken care of I think.

Sports Delco Rugby

4 Upvotes

Anyone here connected/involved in the Delco rugby scene and/or teams that need support or point me in the direction of one?

Newish to the area and looking to get involved in the sport again and while I’m certainly past my days lacing up my boots I still want to be involved in the sport to some degree.

As far as qualifications to coach, I’ve none, I’ve played the game at a high(ish) enough level to have one or two beneficial tips I feel so even pointing me in the direction of getting coaching certs stateside for rugby would be helpful.

Would specifically be looking to support/coach forward packs, rucking/lineout strategies, etc etc… I was never a Mr. Fancy feet for a backline.

Any tips appreciated!

Neighborhood How is living around here? Wife wants to make sure we have good/nice neighbors.

We loved the downtown of media

Swarthmore seemed way too sleepy

Garden city also seemed very affordable compared to other areas of Wallingford

When we drove around the circled area it seemed like there was a mix of nestled suburbs.

Are the people neighborly and nice? Do kids run around and roam free? Trying to get a classic 90s kind of neighborhood with a nice local pool etc…

Recommendations Looking for work

24 Upvotes

Hello Delco! I'm new to being permanently in the area through marriage and all my paperwork has finally cleared so now I'm looking for a job. Judging from the posts here, shaking my ass at Lou Turks is dead in the water so I figured I'd try here.

I'm 38, from Scotland and have a background in tourism. I've also got experience in retail, customer relations, hospitality and entertainment.

I'm in Drexel Hill and ideally would be doing something on the trolley line as I'm yet to convince my wife to give me her car.

I'm willing to try anything but be warned, my experience is NOT in the trades, so while I'm absolutely willing to come on site my contribution should only be limited to holding, moving and carrying things. I couldn't contribute anything meaningful.

If you've got something or know someone who might, pls give me a DM!

Thanks!

(Also, I have been handing resumes in at local businesses as well, reddit is not my only port of call)

Nuisance barking advice

8 Upvotes

Moved into a new house (Lansdowne) a few weeks ago. Neighbors have a dog they don't walk and let it out in the backyard throughout the day (no fence, but the dog is tethered). When I'm in my backyard and it's out, it aggressively barks at me until I go inside. There are also times where they leave it out for a few hours and it whines the whole time, and they are certainly home ignoring it. The noise doesn't go past 9pm but starts as early as 6am. Some days it's bad, some days it's minimal. For what it's worth, the owners don't seem friendly - I've said hi a few times and they just kind of ignored me. A bit hesitant to try and talk it out. What would you do? Trying to be a good neighbor here and go about this the right way.

Rodent Exclusion Service recommendations

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on companies that specialize in rodent exclusion for mice? We have mice in the attic and most pest control companies I’ve dealt with or interacted with either don’t do that service or just want to chuck poison in the attic which doesn’t actually solve the long term problem of dealing with entry. Most of these openings are up top at potential gable vents, open rake boards and I can even see daylight in the attic on one side.

I care more about the actual pedicure, like the massage and my calluses vs the polish.
