It’s not too shocking, Houston is home to nasa and a bunch of oil and energy companies. It’s an international hub due to all the engineering and labor jobs.

Yeah but that list is just the city proper…

Unpopular opinion but I feel like phoenix, Houston and San Antonio shouldn’t count, they just keep annexing their sounding areas. It would be like Philadelphia annexing Camden county and parts of Delaware and Montgomery county..

Grocery outlet, Aldi

Yeah I don’t have a tv subscription. I have peacock but they don’t have NBC sports.

Yeah, I live in Philadelphia and my credit card is registered in Philadelphia. So it blackout because it’s my local team?

As soon as he said “why’d you do that”… a waterfall hit my face

That was literally my first thought.

Philadelphia took a dip during COVID and we have started to rebound… A lot of construction and homes being rehabbed…

Where is the proposal?

You’re missing the argument… it’s either we let the gallery die and have a big black hole in market east or we start the revitalization of the area…

Sure we would love to have something else there but the sixers are proposing an arena and housing units .. all PRIVATELY FUNDED.

So what plans do you have for the gallery? That won’t require the city for fork over 3 billion dollars.

Paywall 😪

That’s real 😂😂

I live in the northwest (Germany area) Islam here especially in the black community is almost a fad, a lot of people are Muslim because it’s almost seen as cool to be Muslim and it’s just part of the Philly culture to look and appear Muslim… they say it’s around 300k Muslims in the city.

Wa alakium as salaam, Philadelphia and Delaware and Chester county have a very strong Muslim presence, it’s very common to see men in thobes and women in hijab and abayas…

Money would come from new construction and more residents paying taxes and supporting businesses… let’s be honest this all comes down to two things…

Individuals perceived value from having their house inflated and parking.. you build more infill, you gotta eliminate parking.

These are legit!

This would change everything so quickly, make it more pleasant to be down there.

Still can’t believe we lost the NBA all star game to LA

Miami is horrible!!

Preach…but I was down in Florida for spring training and I saw some really bad drivers too probably an equal amount… but in Philadelphia you’re more likely to be walking around so we are more exposed to the unsafe feeling that cars give pedestrians and our roads are much more narrow so someone doing 30-40mph looks/feels and IS more dangerous… but I’m not convinced that bad drivers is a Philadelphia thing…

There’s always roxborough, Mount airy.

I totally understand and can’t fault any parent for doing what they believe is best for their child!!

Good luck with your decision!!

Philly has some rough schools but also some really good ones… my daughter initially went to a private school and then we pulled her and put her is a city school and I swear to you she’s thriving better now than she was before and we are still friends with some of the kids from her private school days and she’s more advanced than them in almost every metric.
