Local Business Needs Help: Pleasure Platters - Fridge Damaged

Thumbnail instagram.com
Upvotes

A teenager threw a brick and broke one of the fridge doors/windows after they were asked not to solicit in her store. Please support and share any resources.

The only thing I could think of was Victims Services, but I'm not sure if they pay for business damage.

Any other ideas or thoughts how to help - I'd love to hear from other store owners. I don't have a store front, I'm stumped other than identifying the teenager and making them and/or the parents pay for damage?

Please no racist comments or rants - I want to focus on helping the business. Thank you

Teens damage stuff/commit crimes everywhere (not just Philly) it's not right - but it happens.

Nicole Fusaro — Missing From Philly Since 2018

21 Upvotes

Nicole Amanda “Nikki” Fusaro went missing in #Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in approximately July 2018.

I want to emphasize an important correction: the 2019 disappearance date listed in NamUs and repeated in other articles is incorrect. Nicole was already missing in 2018.

Nicole was approximately 26 years old when she disappeared. She was reportedly sighted in July 2018 in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. Her last known legal paper trail ends in Philadelphia. She previously lived in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and there are indications that she may also have had connections to Charlotte, North Carolina and Virginia.

Nicole is described as a Caucasian / white female who is about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. Her identifying tattoos include:

●A Playboy bunny on her left shoulder

●A Chinese symbol on the inside of one wrist

●An infinity symbol on the back of her neck

●A rose on her inner right ankle or lower shin

●An additional tattoo on her lower back

She has several piercings, including her nose, belly button, and both ears. She may also have an eyebrow piercing.

Nicole’s mother searched diligently for her until she passed away in 2020, never learning what happened to her daughter. Nicole’s father is also deceased. Her cousins, extended family, friends, and community members have continued trying to keep her story alive. Her cousin has been a driving force in the search for her.

I have researched her timeline, spoke with people connected to her, and advocated for her case.

If you saw Nicole in or after 2018, please alert the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-3243.

All Hands on Deck: We're protesting the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences Museum

Post image
521 Upvotes

Philly Science Action, Green Philly, and Skype a Scientist invite the people of Philadelphia to join us for a rally to hold Drexel University accountable for the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences Museum.

RSVP for the protest here.

We are asking Drexel to find a way to keep the museum open to the public past September of 2026.

For almost 200 years, the Academy of Natural Sciences has been dedicated to understanding the natural world and inspiring everyone to care for it.

At a time when climate change and science continue to be under attack, Philadelphia cannot afford to lose another institution that connects people to the natural world. From initiatives like Plastic Free Philly to Academy Town Halls that bring people together to discuss climate challenges, along with exhibits that make science accessible to the public, the Academy plays a critical role in our city.

This is an institution Philadelphia can’t afford to lose.

parking at The Ave Live

0 Upvotes

I know there's already a few posts about this issue, but I'm hoping to get more current advice on where I should park in order to not get my car jacked or my physical well-being threatened as a solo female. My current choice is the parking lot next to the lukoil, but I saw a couple concerning reviews about it so I'm having doubts 🥲 Am I better off parking in a monitored garage in a different part of philly and ubering, or is there a decent spot nearby for me to walk from?

Good news day for job growth (Burlington HQ moving to Schuylkil Yards) and now this branch office of a local heavyweight.

About 100 good jobs coming to Curtis Center.

Wish they'd move the entire operation from Exton but baby steps 🚶‍♀️

Does anybody recognize this dear old friend of mine who stole my trash can from my property around 4PM today? I’m located in Tacony, right off of Frankford Ave. Will send a fresh baked loaf of banana bread to anyone with leads on tracking down my old pal.

(Vid of him strolling away with my trash can in the comments)

does anyone know where to get a free professional headshot?

0 Upvotes

The libraries used to offer it but they are currently suspending it and I’m not sure why. I regret not having gone when I had the chance. I also know they have them at colleges but I’m currently not a student either. Does anyone know where else I can get a free professional headshot? If it comes to, I’ll pay out of pocket.

Lost two of my kitties a couple years ago and want to spread their ashes somewhere in private. Parks, gardens, churches, maybe even a valley. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions as to where I can do this, thank you

Ex-math major looking to do math for fun in Philly

22 Upvotes

I was a math major in college, graduated about 7 years ago, and have recently spent way too much time on calculus TikTok. It’s made me realize I really miss doing math.

I’m a data scientist by trade, so I already have a quantitative job and know/attend the data meetups Philly but I'm looking specifically for advanced/theoretical math meetups, clubs, lecture series on topics like calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, abstract algebra, real analysis, combinatorics. I don’t really want to enroll in (or pay for) a university class, but I do want the environment of learning math with other people by working through problems together, learning new concepts, etc. I found the Free Library Math Book Club and am planning to check that out.

Does anything like this exist in Philly for adults?

Germantown Friends School and Zionism

208 Upvotes

This school claims to follow the Quaker values that were instrumental in its founding, yet one zionist staff member has hamstrung the entire admin board. Speaking out against the atrocities or showing for support for the Palestinian people gets you accused of anti antisemitism. This one staff is known for cornering people, harassing them, and being a general problem for staff that don't align with his beliefs. I'm not looking for a big call to action, mostly just venting because it hurts to watch this place reject its core values over something that Quakers would never support.

Stolen scooter in Fishtown

7 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone might be able to help my friend’s son out. He has MS and doesn’t walk so relies heavily on his scooter to get him around. He even uses it to get his daughter to and from school. Last Saturday his scooter was stolen right from his backyard on E Dauphin Street. It’s pretty disheartening to think someone could be this heartless!
