You think this fucking funny? Blocking entrances, emergency doors, messing the local mom and pop store, baiting the cops. Fuck all of y'all, stay in school and get a fucking life. Behave yourself.

Apologies to everyone else who is an actual adult here.

Movie theater ranking in Philly?

29 Upvotes

Hello. I just moved into center city Philadelphia and checked out a movie at the Landmark Ritz Five theater today. I was left pretty unsatisfied in this theater experience… 20+ minute line for popcorn, bad sound quality, etc. I’m wondering what everyone’s personal favorites are for theaters in the city? Or how would you rank the theaters we have?

Btw I saw Primetime. Pretty solid, 7.9/10.

Out of town, for CHOP

80 Upvotes

I read a post on ig where someone had 2 extra bedrooms and were 10 minutes from a children's hospital, they let parents stay in their extra rooms.

We are empty nesters. We have 3 extra bedrooms and an extra bath. 2 were converted into a mini suite for father in law. Bedroom with livingroom, microwave fridge table in attached room, with a bath. We are 11 miles, approx 25 minutes from CHOP (our daughter was in u-penn for months so that's how I'm familiar) Would it be weird or odd for us to give access to rooms for parents with children in hospital? How could I do this? Is it not really an option since we live in south jersey? We're not looking for money. Opinions and options appreciated.....

Eastern State Penitentiary- Disappointing

28 Upvotes

My husband and I went to the Halloween Nights event at Eastern State Penitentiary tonight after going last year and having a blast. Tonight was incredibly disappointing. We waited in lines for more time than the actual haunted houses. The houses felt small and rushed and there were much fewer actors. There were barely any live performances which was also a let down. When we left the last house we both said “that’s it?” genuinely wondering how it could possibly be over already.

Has anyone else gone this year and felt similarly or am I being a harsh critic?

I’m a planner and it wasn’t always easy to find this info ahead of each concert, so I’m sharing what I learned in case it can ever be of help! :) I’m also in my 30s now and these aging bones need to SIT. So I’m always looking for seating options at venues that are mostly standing room only.

Came right over when I called to him. Is rubbing all over me and wants to come inside my home. I sadly can’t take him in because I have two other cats and no spare room to put him in. I put a box outside under my awning and a can of cat food. Moving around too fast to take a good photo of his face. I think it’s a neutered male with no collar. Near the corner of south etting and mifflin st. Has thick white stripes on the tip of tail and green eyes.

This city is so goddamn incompetent at handling road closures

Close every route north and south, no detour directions, Google Maps closure listings are wrong, entire city try to get down one street that doesn’t actually get through the closures and just circles you back, bus routes cancelled…I wish I stayed in bed.

Philadelphia Shelter Families Need Diapers, Formula & Basic Necessities — Help Us Get Them What They Need

44 Upvotes

Philly People of Hope (PPOH) recently visited Families Forward shelter after receiving reports of concerning living conditions. Our purpose was simple: conduct a community wellness check and make sure the women and children living there were okay.

What we've learned is that our unhoused families are not getting the basic necessities they need. The staff members give extremely limited supplies that was funded thru state and federal taxpayers dollars. And steal alot of the items.

We are currently raising funds to purchase diapers, baby formula, pull-ups, baby wipes, hygiene products, feminine care products, clothing, and other essential items for families in need.

DJSC Tonight at KFN?

5 Upvotes

Okay long story short I grew up in the alt scene in Delco & Philly in the 90s, moved away for a long time, came back, and now none of my friends go out anymore. It's fine going to club nights with my husband - he is a good sport - but I would really love to meet other people to socialize with too! We are headed to DJSC (Depeche Mode Joy Division Smiths Cure) at Kung Fu Necktie tonight - is anyone on here going? Would love to say hi. https://www.djscphilly.com

Any place selling Ichnusa in Philly?

I know this is a long shot. I only found one place online selling Ichnusa, and they wanted $24 for a 3-pack before shipping. We have tons of Italian places in the city. I was wondering if anyone has seen it around.

Looking for recommendations for a butcher/deli or otherwise to find a solid premade demiglace and solid real broths/stocks. Preferably frozen and portioned, but whatever. Have some chilly weather recipes I want to tackle and, frankly, I don’t have the patience to make from scratch…
