@dmtrubman Yeah but the architectural committee's job is technically to be preservation purist a-holes. The full commission will be more fair.

BREAKING: Architectural Committee of Philadelphia Historical Commission denies approval of 8226 Germantown Avenue project in Chestnut Hill, even after building significantly reduced in size, including removing top floor and 6 out of 14 units.

@dmtrubman @muralarts Memorialized so future generations can continue asking "What the f♧ck is a Geator!?!?"

I really love how part of my job is snapping photos of iconic Philadelphians memorialized in a mural.

@Flatspel @crosstown_line That was in 2002. It became a DEP Act 2 site in 2003.

@GroJLart @crosstown_line McDonald’s had a deal there

Philly needs its own City of Yes specifically geared towards turning vacant lots and parking lots (like this Spring Garden eyesore) into housing

@ArtMcDonal86387 @harrisonfinberg You said "no parking" being a causal factor in the Gallery being empty. I informed you that there are 2 parking garages attached. This had nothing to do with the sixers arena. Also, learn the difference between and arena and a stadium.

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg No fear, just think the stadium is out of place in the gallery.

@ArtMcDonal86387 @harrisonfinberg Not talk about the Sixers here. Talking about the Gallery/Fashion District. Stop living in fear

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg Leaving the Jags and Teslas in a parking garage and taking a bus is not the MO of a Sixer fan.

@ArtMcDonal86387 @harrisonfinberg Public transit is statistically safer than driving. See a mental health professional about your agoraphobia.

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg Septa goes on strike or more stabbings etc on public transit

@ArtMcDonal86387 @harrisonfinberg We're talking about the Fashion District/Gallery here. Please try to keep up.

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg Enough for 10k cars ?

@CheetosFingas @harrisonfinberg Sorry you are so woefully misinformed about the world around you

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg sorry I didn't mean to trigger you.

@CheetosFingas @harrisonfinberg Dont move goalposts. You said "no parking", but their is parking. The stores at the gallery validate parking for those 2 garages.

@GroJLart @harrisonfinberg Yep, pay $25 to park and go shop at the Dollar Tree.

@CheetosFingas @harrisonfinberg It has 2 connected parking garages and direct access to public transit options that extend into the entire metro area

@harrisonfinberg It's dead because there is no parking in the city. Knock it down and build a homeless shelter. Or leave it up as a homeless shelter. I'll volunteer to help

@ArtMcDonal86387 @harrisonfinberg It has 2 connected parking garages and direct connections to public transit that accesses the entire Philly metro area.

@harrisonfinberg No parking

Is #Philly the only city where people refer to the TV affiliates by their brand names? "6ABC", "FOX29", "NBC10" etc. On philly social media it's common for ppl to say "I saw it on @6abc Action News". Do people in other cities do this?

I am now convinced that @ManayunkBrew is the most diverse venue in #Philly- there is a group of furries in full costume here while at the same time there's a group of dudes with maga hats on. The first time I've seen maga hat wearers in Philly too btw

@jongeeting The small handful of families that own most of the commercial real estate in Chinatown weren't selling before and aren't going to start selling now

Downzoning floated as a solution to housing costs 🙃

@ninthhostage Far too much of Philly is actively working against any form of housing development & City Council enables them with dozens (literally) of restrictive zoning overlays created in the last 6 years. The highest demand areas of the city have very little by-right multifamily zoning

@WorkingFamilies Don't even try to pretend that your "party" is not very happy about Trump being elected. Having him in office makes it easier for you to recruit & radicalize ppl. WFP & all the other fake activist orgs wanted Trump to win, just admit it. You're no better than the maga movement

It may not seem like it right now, but today is the beginning of the end for the Trump era and the MAGA movement. Here's why.

@Danimalish I like this movie a lot despite its problems, of which there are many. TV-quality director & music, re-use of old sets, cheap re-use of STVI special effect, bad fitting DS9 uniforms, plot holes you can fly the Ent-D through, important scenes deleted... but it's still good.

STAR TREK GENERATIONS turns 30 this month. It's hard to believe the film came out that long ago, but I'll always have a fondness for the film. William Shatner's final performance as Captain Kirk, and it was a dream come true seeing Kirk and Captain Picard share the screen.

@TrekGeeks "You want to destroy the ship and run away, you coward!" -Jean-Luc Picard Don't run in fear because of the ideological prison you built around yourself. Be a person.
