i truly don’t know how to feel about this.. it’s a small block the trash truck that rolls there here half the time wont even take my trash bags if their too heavy.. Trash day is tomorrow morning, what are the chances this stays where it’s at? and if it does.. what can i do about it? such an eye sore..

for context the family that have been renting this house have been renting since i was in the 6th grade.. i’m 32 years old now and they just got evicted.. owner set everything out and just left 😓

EDIT: Address is 2049 S Garnet Street Philadelphia, PA 19145

Great work by the mayor and governor!

“The retailer plans to invest $370 million in its move to Philadelphia, according to Pennsylvania officials, and is set to receive another $30 million in state grants, as well as a $7 million forgivable loan and a job-creation tax credit from the city.

The company is buying property at 3151 Market St., an office and lab building in Brandywine Realty Trust’s Schuylkill Yards development, where it will set up its new headquarters, according to an announcement from Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration.

The governor called the move “the largest headquarters relocation to the city in years.”"

The source [who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans,] said that Philly For Growth will fund advertising to support Council members Mark Squilla, whose 1st District includes parts of South Philly, Center City, and Fishtown; Cindy Bass, whose 8th District is based in North and Northwest Philadelphia; and Quetcy Lozada, whose 7th District includes much of North Philadelphia and Kensington...

The super PAC is making one exception when it comes to supporting incumbent district Council members ... In the 5th District, currently represented by Councilmember Jeffrey Young Jr., the group will support a to-be-decided challenger.

Hello. We’re Max Marin and Ryan Briggs, reporters with The Inquirer’s investigations team.

For the last two months, we’ve been investigating the case of the missing and dead women in Olney alongside our colleagues Barbara Laker and Ellie Rushing.

We know this unfortunate saga has attracted a lot of attention. And as longtime local reporters, it’s one of the darkest, most disturbing stories we’ve ever worked on.

Our team has been working to break new ground for you and to shine a light on the plight of the victims and their families. We’ve scoured thousands of records, examined hundreds of photos and films, and interviewed dozens of people around the world, from under Kensington Avenue to the sleepy ports of New Zealand. Our latest story digs into a 1985 psychological evaluation of Raymond Horsch, which you can read for free here.

We’ll be available for an AMA Friday at 1 p.m. Feel free to ask us whatever you want about the case, and we’ll answer what we can. 

Story Highlights

• The University of Pennsylvania acquired full ownership of the 130-unit Axis on 36th Street building.
• Penn leased the building to house upperclass students during the 2024-25 academic year while Ware College House underwent renovations.
• The university purchased Tabernacle United Church [at 3700 Chestnut St. for $6.5 million.] and [paid $4 million for a mixed-use building at 3931 Walnut St.] this summer.
