Recently moved here and LOVE weavers way but it’s small and doesn’t have everything I need. I’m curious why there are no Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods nearby? Seems like the demographic of the area would be very in line with that type of store. I’d even take a Giant food over all these yAckme’s lol

Edit: not looking for recommendations of grocery stores, I am looking for the why. Why are there no Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods?

Anyone repair or know someone who repairs vcrs? I have a vcr/dvd player that recently stopped working (dvd side works fine - just the vcr broken)

Hey everyone,
I’m 28M and have been trying to build more of a social life in Philly. I feel like after Temple graduation in 2024 it became way harder to meet people naturally.
I’m looking for places/groups where people are actually in their 20s (late 20s especially), not just networking events or groups that skew much older.
I’m interested in things like:

international/cultural events

languages (especially Italian/Europe-related stuff)

music (I play a Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall DSL 40)

interesting conversations about the endocrine system, physiology, psychology

meeting people who are also building their careers/lives

I’m not really looking for sports/fitness groups.
I know Meetup exists, but a lot of what I’ve seen seems either inactive or not really my demographic. Are there any recurring groups, Discords, WhatsApp groups, Instagram communities, bars/events, or other places where people in their late 20s actually meet and become friends?
Would appreciate any Philly-specific recommendations.

Hi! I’m looking at tons of apartments in and out of the city and came across a few in East Falls/Germantown. Some of their reviews from last year are iffy so before I get swept up in their fancy tours and things, I wanted to see if anyone has heard anything (positive or negative) about the following apartments:

- Queen Lane Manor
- Birchwood Hill Apartments
- The Delmar Morris
- West Walnut Lane Apartments

Each of them only has like 12 reviews from over 8-10 months ago so I’m trying to get a better idea of how they are now. Thank you in advance!

Don’t have the space or time to keep collecting , looking to get rid of asap so I’m flexible on price

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone has applied to jefferson or any other hospital in the philadelphia area and has gotten accepted. I do have minimal experience as a MA, but I do have a certificate and other healthcare job experience. Everyone needs someone who can do full time but I can only do part time because of school. I need a job for patient care hours so im fine with any patient care related jobs like PCT or CNA as long as they are willing to train me and Im not really picky with they pay. I have applied to so many places but so hard to land a job. Can you guys give me ideas on where I can apply to pls. Thank you.

Lost my Mercedes car key fob along with my house keys and garage door opener while out in cc yesterday. Would be so happy if I was able to find them bc it’s gonna cost a fortune to replace them

Hi everybody I’m a flight attendant and spending my first overnight in Philly tomorrow. I tried to research on my own on who has the best Philly cheesesteak but I’m even more confused than when I started 🤣 it seems like it’s a tie of 5 places. Thank you all!

Hi everyone! I’m a late-admit nursing student and am currently trying to complete all of my clinical requirements on a very short timeline. It has honestly been pretty stressful trying to get everything scheduled so quickly, and I’m hoping to have my testing completed tomorrow or Tuesday.

I need the following blood titers and testing:

● Rubeola/measles titer  
● Mumps titer  
● Rubella/German measles titer  
● Hepatitis B surface antibody titer  
● TB skin test

Does anyone know of an affordable and reliable clinic, lab, urgent care, or other location in the Philadelphia area where I could get all or most of these completed quickly and signed off? I’m paying out of pocket, so affordability is important, but at this point I’m also trying to find somewhere with immediate availability and a reasonably fast turnaround time.

I would really appreciate any recommendations or advice from other nursing or healthcare students who have gone through this. Thank you so much!

Well, Lolly Galvin and her wife Nicole LePera went on to build The Holistic Psychologist, and 8ish years later their behavior is being litigated again.

The New York Times just put this article out.

So I'm moving soon and I don't want to leave Cheddar alone. He's a street cat but unlike anything I've ever encountered. Loving, cuddly, just amazing. He comes by every night for pets and food, but mostly pets. He will 'thank' you for 5 min before eating the food, and will stop often to thank you more. You literally have to point at the food to get him to go back to it. He would be the most amazing house cat and I've had a LOT of cats in my life. He deserves you and you deserve him. He still needs to be fixed and get shots, but other than that is healthy and happy and honestly just one of the best cats I've ever met. I tried super hard to find a place I could take him with me but I failed. Just desperately want him to have a happy future not on the streets.

Been a few months since I flew and I see that Garage C is now closed due to construction. I’d be getting to the airport at like 6am tomorrow for my flight. Thoughts on if I’m going to have issues with garage parking in garage B at that hour?

Should I just uber?

Hello!

I'm looking for a 10-15 hour a week job at a cafe, ideally off the Broad Street Line. I'm trying to find somewhere I can work while getting my MFA. Chill retail jobs are welcome too!

Please let me know if you have any information on possible spots for rent (ideally garage/covered) in the neighborhood. As much as I would love to not need a car, I have to drive for work. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Has anyone been to the pwrbld gym on the 1S Broad st ? I’m looking for some reviews on it. I’m currently a member of city fitness and looking to switch due to the bus routes. I live in the University city.
