Anyone know if anything is going on at old Sacred Heart in Pennsport? Saw a couple people in suits milling about in the back parking lot and some utility work being done in front. Would be great to have this space activated whether it's as a charter or converted to housing with retail.

Hoping this is a temporary solution so they can finally build the long-term solution next to 30th Street station. www.inquirer.com/transportati...

I wish Tylenol gave people autism, we'd have a fully functional rail system if it did.

Perfect example of Nimbys using preservation as a weapon to protect the status quo. Developer worked with community and artist to preserve the mosaic but Nimbys still fought it because the well designed building was like 1 floor to high. Now it's being demolished! www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

The "protection costs" the police/city are forcing all the festivals to pay is ruining one of the things making this city great. These festivals build community, bring people out of their homes into the streets and make us safer. share.google/8f3tLW2yIgBv...

This guy, Brendan Carr, is a few months older than me, he's only 46. Hate really ages you huh. Maybe he should learn to laugh at comedians instead of silence them.

With all these billionaires caving to Trump we need a new network for places like Sesame Street, Colbert, Kimmel, South Park, etc. Maybe we can call it American Network Television Institute For All or A.N.T.I.F.A. for short.

So now FOPS is forcing a civic group to funnel money to their lawyers who are making our city less safe. Society Hill group to vote on joining fight against bike lanes share.google/Lnz0oEfXzVbp...

I always thought that this was kind of a BS stat but glad to get rid of. Philly was successful enough to maintain a high population unlike cities like Detroit and Cleveland. #3 and not far behind on the list is NYC which no one would call a poor city. www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

It's a disgrace that the city is allowing cops to fleece neighborhood groups like this that are trying to open our streets to people. www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

How is this is considered groundbreaking, giving people cash with no strings attached improves their lives! This is why I think UBI should replace almost all social programs. Bonus, normal people spend money, improving economy instead of hoarding it like the rich. www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

Must be a good sign of they are announcing in Philly www.inquirer.com/food/restaur...

This looks great, hope we're able to get the funding in place after Republicans literally clawed it back. A park running through the heart of Chinatown is so much better than a highway and shows we can build cities for people instead of cars. billypenn.com/2025/08/13/c...

We should be encouraging more events like this not less. It's like we're repeating the streeterys fiasco all over by over regulations. This is how we build communities and make our cities for people. Nothern Liberties Night Market canceled as city costs skyrocket share.google/jHDfvn5mq9dD...

In the least surprising news... www.inquirer.com/transportati...

If Dems wanted to win elections they would be saying something like this every day. "We all agree immigration reform is needed but the current policy of rounding up people and putting them in camps is not sustainable. Why haven't the Republicans brought forth a bill to address a long term solution."

Is there a question about building the arena with one line public transportation access for people living in the city and the burbs that actually connects people to the city instead of sea of parking on the outskirts of town? share.google/AH8nrboCWlsm...

Chuckling at this video with its upbeat style describing how to make Disneyworld and Disneyland more car-friendly which, of course, makes them profoundly miserable and unsafe for everyone not in a car. And yet we gladly do this for urban and suburban design.

Would have been nice if they were playing in the new arena at Market East instead of in the middle of a bunch of parking lots on the outskirts of the city. Still exciting news though. www.inquirer.com/wnba/wnba-ph...

Possible site for Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame? The shuttered Philadelphia History Museum is a blighted eyesore share.google/hZslTeIuGICL...

Is it a constitutional crisis if the other two branches freely give up their power to the executive branch?

I'll admit there is a lot to like about this plan but I still think Market East should be Philly's entertainment/shopping district. This plan doesn't fit for this location IMHO but I think it would be a great plan for most neighborhoods. billypenn.com/2025/06/24/m...

More of this please!

#nokingsmarch should be passing out American flags to everyone at the march. Imagine the imagery of Trump's goons attacking peaceful protesters with American flags on Flag Day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

These people have to much time on their hands, they should find a hobby like cycling. If it was up to me I would counter by removing all parking from the street. Cities are for people, not cars. www.inquirer.com/transportati...

Tell City Council: Abolish Parking Mandates in Philly Parking mandates make housing more expensive and entrench car dependency by forcing businesses and housing developments to build parking spaces.

Tell CHOP: Don't Treat Grays Ferry as a Parking Lot!

These are things we should have been discussing 10 years ago not a year before. Why are we allowing politicians to play around with funding? This should be a no brainer. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Took about a minute to do, contact your reps!

This may be the best possible outcome. Hopefully they can take some of the magic from Bok and bring it to Center City. www.archpaper.com/2025/05/scou...

But I thought Comcast was supposed to come in and fix Market East after they killed the arena there? www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia...

Imagine how environmentally friendly it would be if we experienced the Broad Street Line into the Navy Yard

I was living in Fairmount at the time the Pope visited Philly and all the streets in the area were cleared of cars. That was the first time I really understood the potential of the city without cars. The Pope evangelized me that day, even if it wasn't the way he intended.

Great article, looking forward to the day when all the people complaining about everything wrong with Philly aren't the same people that challenge any proposal to change things in Philly.

I decided to look a bit more closely at what it would take to replace ALL Philly taxes with LVT (and thus shift financial burden towards landowners, particularly in wealthier parts of the city) Here’s some napkin math:

This is a great headline! Going to hit lower and middle class the most too. The donor class will profit.

Why can't we build our city for people instead of cars. Why shouldn't parents feel safe with their kids playing in the street? www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

This is how we should be using technology, hope this expand to all streets in Center City. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/transpo...

The second trash day has been very inconsistent sometimes leading to more trash because people are leaving them out when not picked up. Trash then tends to blow over and all over the place. www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

Anyone know what this is going up between the floating pier at SSHP and the Olympia?

We should have trolleys running from city hall into and around Fairmont Park to give families in the city access to nature and the athletic fields. FDR should also have a trolley looping through the park.
