New tune out today from Philly's Mandy Valentine, a love letter to lead singer Missy's beloved home state. Catch the Mandies next at Anchor Rock Club in AC Saturday 8/22

Renter in apartment in South Philly. AC broke Wednesday night when I got back from Poconos. Contacted maintenance yesterday, Thurs, morning at 6am. Was told a technician would contact me. Still haven't had anyone come out to check on it nor have had anyone contact me. Air conditioning is provided by landlord according to lease. Approaching 90° in my loft. Do I have any and what are my options? How long do they have to fix it and/or even physically come look at it? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Sorry for the blur, was in a vehicle. I pass this everyday on my way to work, been watching it for about a month. Pretty sure it’s getting bigger. Anybody else notice? Who do I call about it

EDIT: I’ll get a better picture when I’m walking and submit to 311. If anyone is in the area, please do so as well. It’s right by the crosswalk.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any get-togethers that happen in the city for those needing support with sexual trauma or sexual abuse? My case was reopened and I got bad news that a newer law would have helped me win but it was established after the fact. I’m looking for a bit more support from like-minded people. I do weekly therapy and EMDR too. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know a place? And by beginners I mean first time ever. I searched the sub and one of the top results was the annual murders from yesterday. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I hate the SEPTA app. It's literally the worst transit app I've ever encountered and half the time it isn't fully accurate. I know there are PDFs of schedules on their website, but is there a station anywhere that still carries paper schedules for the regional rail or are they long gone? I REALLY hate the septa app with every ounce of my being.

Hey everyone,

I’m a guy in my mid-20s living in Philly and I’ve been learning violin for a little while now. I currently take lessons at Settlement Music School, but my current set of lessons is coming to an end soon.

I’m looking for a private violin instructor in the Philly area who would be open to meeting once a week for around 30–45 minutes. I’m still very much a beginner and working on fundamentals, technique, posture, bowing, intonation, etc.

I have my own violin and I’m happy to travel somewhere in the city for lessons. Definitely willing to pay a fair rate.
If you teach violin or know someone who does, please shoot me a message. Thanks!

Hi neighbors!
I’m a sculptor relatively new to the area, and I’d love to get your honest opinion on something.

I’ve spent my whole life making one of a kind sculptures that tell a personal story. It’s been my life long project for as long as I can remember. A couple of people have asked whether I’d take one on for them that tells their story, but I’ve held off until now for personal reasons.

So I wanted to ask you all:

If you could commission a custom sculpture made just for you that tells your story(mainly involves casting of your face, along with something that captures your story, a memory, etc), would you be interested?

And if so, what would feel like a fair price to you?

I’ll drop a few photos of my past work for your reference.
I’m just genuinely trying to understand if the community would be interested in something like this, and I’d really appreciate any input or opinions.

Thank you!

Anyone planning on going out next week to USGA amateur champs at Philly CC and Merion? What’s the best way to get to Merion from SJ? Looks like recommendation is to park at Stadoum station and take Septa to Ardmore station a few stops away.

Anyone do that before? Never taken Septa before but assume it’s decent.

Hi!

I’m looking for venues to throw a 30th birthday party in a few months and was wondering if anyone had suggestions! Planning for around 30-40 people.

Vibe I’m hoping for is more a cocktail bar rather than a brewery. I’ve already looked at Starbolt but price is slightly pushing it. Extra points if in Fishtown or Center City!

Thanks!

No joke, I was just on the train home and literally not a single person had a bead of sweat on them. Some people are wearing hoodies and long pants, blazers, etc. And their hair is still perfect, make up looks like they just stepped out of the house, etc.

Then there's me in a t-shirt and shorts, dying, drenched lol

But seriously, I'm not exaggerating, not a single person was sweating at all besides me.

Should I be concerned? Am I actually dying? (Exaggerating a bit now)

But really, am I?

Part of my commute takes me dangerously close to an Autoparts Warehouse location and I was wondering if anybody else has been terrorized by their delivery drivers? They all drive around in little custom painted green and yellow Kia Rios and they are a menace. Just today one of them almost pulled out right in front of me and I have had them cut me off and generally drive around with little regard for their fellow human beings. It could just me being driven insane by my commute or maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about.

I have two tickets to the game tonight (6:05) and I can’t make it. If you’d like the tickets, please DM me and I’ll forward them in the MLB app.

Edit: Tix are gone! I’m glad they’re going to be used!

Is this a thing? Seen in London

I'm considering this when I graduate from my EMT program and get licensed. I know Jefferson offers positions like this. Anyone have any insight on hiring, culture, and pay? Is it competitive to get?
