Great sign for center city east of Broad “Philly’s F1 Arcade is the franchise’s largest location yet, though the Vegas site will eventually overtake it for that title… the company has a long-term lease here and plans to stay in Philly for 15-to-20 years minimum.” www.inquirer.com/columnists/f...

I need them to move into a larger practice space so they can blow up the photo of Jalen Carter smacking Mahomes in the face even bigger.

Appalling lack of legal grilling anywhere close to Center City. There should be public grills in Schuylkill Banks and Penn's Landing at the very least!

I realize market east is a shell of its former self but there’s gotta be other businesses willing to pay $125K a year for the right to own and sell billboard space on the convention center www.inquirer.com/business/bil...

90% of my classmates wanted to stay in Philly, but couldn't find a job within city limits or didn't require a car for a suburban office park. Not great!

Why is the mayor only proposing to cut the BIRT by $9mm when removing the first $100k exemption will raise $30mm in new revenue? “The elimination of the tax break would boost revenue by $30 million… Parker has proposed spending that money on services and outreach.” www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Sick of traffic during your morning commute? Then I have some bad news: if SEPTA's service cuts go into effect, there will be 275,000 more cars on the road every day. We generate 41% of PA's economic activity on 5% of its land. This isn't possible without SEPTA. www.inquirer.com/transportati...

CHOP is proposing a 1,000-vehicle parking garage at 30th and Grays Ferry Avenue. This garage would be over 70 feet tall, reserved for employees, and would require a separate shuttle service. Sign this petition telling CHOP: Don't Treat Grays Ferry as a Parking Lot

it's awesome that this is happening, but c'mon 0% of the revenue is insane for an agency as consistently broke as SEPTA

Congestion pricing in NYC brings in about $50 million a month SEPTA’s budget deficit for the upcoming year is $213 million How many months of congestion pricing on the Schulykill “Expressway” would it take to fully fund SEPTA without needing to raise a dime of additional revenue?

“No significant change in travel times along Washington Avenue" Contrary to many 🐓 littles at the time, going from 4 to 3 lanes on washington ave didn’t increase travel times because there was so much double parking it was basically a 3 lane road before the redesign. www.phila.gov/2025-04-14-w...

40% of Philadelphians commute to a job in the burbs & those who currently take SEPTA aren’t going to stop going to work because their regional rail line was cut If the prospect of an even more miserable experience rush hour driving doesn’t spur suburban residents to action I’m not sure what would

Here’s just a few of the practical impacts of job sprawl in Philly: 1. Working class people have a harder time accessing good jobs 2. SEPTA has less $ for the subway, buses, & trolleys 3. It suppresses demand for transit-oriented development 4. We have less $ left over to spend at local businesses

“Police failed to promptly investigate the crash of the city-leased vehicle, and no charges were filed. The incident also eluded scrutiny from the Philadelphia Department of Fleet Services until January, when someone at the sheriff’s office requested a replacement vehicle.”

In a perfect Philadelphia, our taxpayer funded police and prosecutors would work efficiently to arrest and penalize the theft/damage of property. Instead, Indego has to hire private investigators to keep their replacement costs from getting out of control. www.inquirer.com/news/indego-...

In an ideal world this would lead to more frequent regional rail service to and from the same places commuters like myself are currently driving to. I’d love to stop driving to the office but when regional rail’s only running trains once an hour (at best) that’s not realistic
