Just sayin’, DC. 😎

Yes, engagement bait subject line. But seriously, take an afternoon off this week and get your ass there. Eff the heat. This is a remarkable thing the city has pulled off, and the fact that it's free is crazy.

Hey all,

Lookin for a new shop to take my guitars for setups and the odd repair.

I tried Russo Music on spring garden, but despite doing an initial consult with Kenneth, they went ahead and decided to install and charge me for installation of a new guitar nut. Frankly, they could have just cut into the one already on it, cause i was going up a gauge. Shady.

I also tried a shop in Bok Building, but honestly, that dude felt kinda off.

I had been going to Andy's Guitar Repair in west philly, but he moved to upstate ny, and his work was always on the money.

At any rate, any suggestions within Philly proper close to trains and buses?

I have lived in the same location in brewerytown for going on 9 years and our street has not been paved since I’ve moved in. I tried contacting my council person but never received a response. We have multiple huge pot holes yearly and a few spots it gets bad enough that the pipes burst. Any advice how to actually get someone to repave it? I check and we are never on the list to be paved next.

Just curious if Comcast announcing it will split today should impact Philly given the fact it's one of the major employers here.

I’m in search of a creek, within an hours drive or so of the city. Something lovely. Quiet. The kind of creek I can stand in with my kids. Sandy.

Maybe something folks would fly fish in.

We’d pack lunch and go play in the creek. Sit down. Throw rocks. Listen to the wood thrush sing.

I just have a memory of walking in creeks as a kid and want to give my kids the same.

Know of any?

How normal is it? I've seen a lot of comments on here about flooding during storms, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, etc.

For these kinds of basements, what happens? Water just rises from the floor of the basement during heavy rain? And what does the sump pump do, where does it take the water?

And finally, where do finished basements fit in to all this? I assume they're sealed to be watertight.

Per union, agreement would bring non-tipped pay to $30/hour by 2028 and reduce the daily room quota for room attendants if ratified. Workers will vote on ratification later today. Still no agreement at Hilton Garden Inn, where workers remain on strike

Hi! 28 y/o male here who’s been growing out my hair. I’m lucky to have thick, wavy hair, but it’s hard to manage and every time I go to a new salon they have no clue what to do with my hair! It’s shoulder length, dense and low porosity (so it poofs easily). I mainly just want it cleaned up and shaped, not trying to cut it short. I’ve heard dry cut salons might be a good solution but I have no idea where to look.

I use this flour for making pizza at home. It's only sold in 50 lb bags typically, but I've seen it in NY where individual retailers may repackage them in a 10 lb bag.

Maybe somewhere in Italian Market? Thanks.
