Just saw a cop stop some youths going to Devil's Pool

A bunch of teens parked near Wissahickon and Allen's Lane then headed down into the woods with their swimming stuff. A cop was waiting and made them all turn around and leave.

I guess this means summer has officially started.

Dentists for TMJ and veneers

These can be the same or different practices:

  1. I have TMJ disease and I’ve read/heard that it can be helped by a dentist. I feel like my current dentist is kind of dismissive so I am looking for recommendations from others with TMJ.

  2. I am considering veneers so I am looking for recommendations for a good practice that is on the less expensive side (while understanding that all dentistry is expensive and that cosmetics are not covered by insurances).

*Im in the Washington Sq area but willing to travel.

Someone painted over the wall on the 100 Steps, Someone else posted a message in response

The text reads:

“WHO TF PAINTED OVER THIS ENTIRE STONE WALL?

WHAT TF WERE YOU THINKING?

WOULD YOU ALSO THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER?

IF SOMEONE CARVES THEIR NAME INTO THE BARK, WOULD YOU ALSO THEN CHOP DOWN THE WHOLE TREE?

THIS WALL IS HISTORIC & BEAUTIFUL. WELL OVER A CENTURY OLD.

MADE WITH LOCAL STONE FOUND NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.

STONES THAT GLIMMER LIKE SILVER.
THE PRODUCT OF MILLIONS OF YEARS OF UNIQUE WISSAHICKON GEOLOGY.

AND IN 1 NIGHT YOU DECIDED TO SMOTHER IT WITH FLAT GRAY PAINT.

LIKE ANY OTHER BORING CORPORATE-FUNDED WALL IN THE CITY.

WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE, YOU MADE A DECISION FOR EVERYONE THAT NOW NO ONE GETS TO ENJOY THIS SPOT IN THE SAME WAY.
AND FOR WHAT? BECAUSE OF A LITTLE GRAFFITI IN A FEW SPOTS THAT COULD'VE JUST BEEN POWERWASHED OR TREATED? COME ON.

FOR MANY DECADES I, LIKE COUNTLESS OTHERS, HAVE WALKED THIS PARK.
I RECALL FEELING WONDER AS A CHILD, WALKING HERE WITH MY PARENTS SEEING THE FLOWING WATER & SPARKLING STONES. AN OASIS OF NATURE.

THE RAREST OF PLACES IN A CITY AS HUGE AS PHILLY.

AND NOW, SOME DAY, WHEN I WALK HERE WITH MY CHILDREN, SHALL I SHOW THEM THIS GRAY WALL?

WILL THEY STARE IN WONDER AT YOUR PAINT JOB?

WILL THEY THANK YOU FOR DROWNING OUT A FEW REMOVABLE DOODLES?

OR WILL THEY BE DEPRIVED OF YET 1 MORE NATURAL SIGHT

FOR THE SAKE OF SOME MISGUIDED ATTEMPT AT SANITIZING THE WORLD?

IF YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR THIS PARK & THIS COMMUNITY, WE URGE YOU TO RETURN & POWERWASH THIS ENTIRE WALL CLEAN, OR HELP HIRE PROFESSIONALS TO DO SO.

I'D WRITE MORE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE RUN OUT OF ROOM.

GO BIRDS, F*** THE PPA.”

This mural in the marriage license bureau at City Hall is so adorable 💕

My partner and I are getting married this weekend (!!!) so we had to go pick up our marriage license yesterday. I was expecting a typical government office, but this mural is amazing! The decorations in the office were also so cute.

I had never been inside City Hall before, so I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how efficient this process was.

What version recycle bin do you have?

My second one blew away a few months ago so I got a new one second one today. That Mayor Street bin could be a collectable these days. What version do you have? Anyone with a Fast Eddie bin?

So where the hell can we learn about these State Committee candidates we're supposed to vote on today?

I can't find info on these mfers anywhere other than like random Facebook threads

How on earth are we supposed to make an informed decision about them if we don't even know who the hell they are or what they want to do?

EMei owner has bought the long-shuttered Irish Pub in Rittenhouse

"Dan Tsao, co-owner of Chinatown’s Sichuan destination EMei, has bought the landmark Rittenhouse property that housed the Irish Pub — his third major real estate acquisition in less than a year — as he pushes to expand the fast-growing restaurant beyond Chinatown."

"Tsao, who owns EMei and the nearby TingTing’s Cafe, said the Rittenhouse property could become a flagship location for EMei, which his mother-in-law, Jinwen Yu, and chef Yongcheng Zhao opened in 2011. Tsao and his wife, TingTing, took over EMei in 2019. EMei appeared on The Inquirer’s inaugural list of essential restaurants, The 76, in 2024."

Day-after photos from The Blacksheep fire

Fire was on the second floor and was thought to be put out around 9pm last night, but somehow reignited and had to be put out again around 2am.

Big crane

Like, that’s a really big piece of equipment. How they manage to navigate these through the city is a marvel of modern engineering.

It's Primary Day! Polls are open until 8pm.

Both VotesPA.com and Vote.PA will help you find your polling place, return your mail-in ballot safely, and answer questions.

And per our District Attorney:

Should voters encounter any violence or physical threats at their polling station, they are urged to call 9-1-1 immediately. Voters who encounter any other irregularities at their polling location can call the following:

  • DAO Election Task Force hotline: 215–686–9641.
  • Voters are also encouraged to contact the national nonpartisan Election Protection hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE.
  • Voters with questions about the election process should contact the Philadelphia City Commissioners’ Office at 215-686-VOTE.

Go VOTE. Even if you're an independent, there are still ballot questions today.
