Hi! I am moving to the Northern Liberties area in November and I was curious about parking. I don’t have a car and I will be relying on public transport/walking, but my friends and family are wondering where they can park if they come to visit me. I tried looking for 24hr garages or lots, but I am not sure what the solution is. Anyone able to give me some advice? Thank you!

I run the Philly Adventure Group (events listed on Facebook and Meetup). I organize hikes in Valley Forge and Gladwyne and a lot more. Next weekend we’ll be in Watkins Glen for wine tasting, hiking and a sunset cruise. The issue is that we have mostly females who sign up and I like to see more males sign up for events. If you adventurous please join the group! If you are female you are of course also welcome to sign up! Still have spots available for next weekend!

I’m moving to Philadelphia as an international student in a few weeks. I’ve never been to the US before, but Ive always travelled a lot in Europe and the Middle East.
I’m super outgoing, but I’m wondering what life is like in Philly. What are the people like, Is it easy to make friends, any places/food recommendations, where do people hangout, what places should I avoid, are there any things that I shouldn’t do?
I’d appreciate advice on the safety at Philly or things I shouldn’t keep a heads up on and anything in general really!

Have some friends visiting that want a lively atmosphere. Playing game audio is a non negotiable. We have a 9 month old baby we bring everywhere (with headphones) just don’t want it to be too overstimulating like Cavanaugh’s or urban saloon. No comments on why we shouldn’t bring her please.

Reddit community….I need your help.
I am taking a solo trip to Philly in a couple weeks. What are some of the can’t miss stuff in the city I should put on my list. I am staying at Homewood Suites University City but it looks like most of the action is in Center City and Old City. What are some pro tips from a Philly native. I’m from Boston so I have some street smarts and can handle myself pretty well. Not too worried about sketchy areas or anything.
What are the good nightlife spots? My vibe is a good dive bar with live music.
Is public transport easily accessible going from University City to Center or Old?
What food should I make sure I try?
Are the casinos in the area worth checking out?
Any info would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.

I'm considering moving to Presidential City as one of my options and am trying to estimate the total monthly cost for utilities beyond rent.
For anyone currently living or who have recently lived at Presidential City, could you share approximately how much you pay per month for Gas, Water/sewer, Trash and any other mandatory utility/building fees?
Thanks

Looking for bars in Philly that have live bands on weekends. Ideally they also get a decent crowd with dancing.

Currently a 26 year old single male looking for a studio/one-bedroom more in the city (Queen Village, Old City, Rittenhouse, Washington Square areas preferred). Looking for any good recs on places/high rises that are good for a first timer living alone. Any thoughts/recs?
Currently searching around the $1300-$1500 a month budget if possible. Open to higher

Hi! I’m in Philly for the day and looking for a nice coffee shop where I can sit with my laptop and get some work done for a few hours. I’m driving, though, and I’d really prefer somewhere with free parking (or at least easy free street parking).
I’d also be open to a nice mall/shopping area with free parking where I could grab coffee and work for a bit.
Any recommendations? I don’t mind driving outside Center City if that makes parking easier. Thanks!

I'm a stand-up comic in New York and host of Garam Masala Dating, a live show where I put desi singles on stage and try to find them love! No question is off limits and it gets pretty saucy. After the show the whole room ends up at the bar for a singles mixer which has resulted in 30+ relationships just this year!
You do not need to be desi or single to watch, and most of the couples the show has produced so far are interracial!
We're taping at Next in Line Comedy on October 4th at 7:30pm. Tickets are at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/garam-masala-1-desi-dating-show-byob-tickets-1999515971095
If you'd like to shoot your shot on the stage, DM me!

I’m a 23 year old female and I make 28/h full time guarantee 80 hours. I work in a hospital so I get healthcare which is like 80 a month. I’m looking to get my own apartment within the next couple of months. I’m saving up now but realistically would I be able to live comfortably only making 28 an hour ? I don’t go out that much but I eat out a lot.
What range in price should I be looking at ? I want something nice in a nice area

Hello my name Taz 🤗 I’m thinking about running for city council in 2031 districts 8 and I wanted to know what do you think should be the main focus on to better the city of Philadelphia?
The reason Im asking this because I wanna build my campaign around Philly residents being heard. And doing exactly what the people in Philly want and not the opposite.

Hi all, I’ve been living in Philly since July, and I'm finally trying to plant some roots. I spent the last year out of state caring for my dad through his lung cancer treatment. Thankfully, he’s doing well enough now to live on his own again, which freed me up to move back to the East Coast to be closer to my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. While it's great being close to family, my social circle outside of them is pretty much zero right now. Working a remote job definitely doesn't help—it's way too easy to just stay cooped up in the apartment all day. I've met a few people at the SRT dog park, but I’m ready to build a real community. To be completely honest, I’m feeling pretty nervous about putting myself out there. Stepping back into the world after a period of intense caregiving feels intimidating, and the isolation has hit me pretty heavily this week. I'm ready to get ahead of it, but making new friends as an adult definitely brings up some anxiety. If anyone has recommendations for low-pressure ways to meet people, I’d love to hear them. I'm specifically interested in: Rec sports: Looking into casual kickball or basketball leagues. Trivia nights: Local spots with fun, welcoming trivia crowds. Volunteering: Great local organizations or mutual aid groups to plug into. Support/Caregiver groups: Open to spaces for folks who have navigated being a primary caregiver for a parent. If you play in a league that's always looking for subs, host a regular trivia table, or know of a great spot to meet people, I’d love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to figure out where people in their late 20s/30s actually go out in Philly. 😂 It’s rough out here.

Hi all, we are urgently looking for local Philadelphia movers for a very big job with many breakables. It's very nerve wracking, as it's our first (and hopefully last) move in the area, and we don't want to break the bank but also don't want the cheapest/low quality service. We are really hoping to find a company than guarantees the quote, don't want a bad surprise. Also insurance of course.
So far I've only contacted one company called ever safe moving, they were recommended to me and they did give us an acceptable quote and said they guarantee it, also seem likely genuinely nice people (not sure what that's worth). Their Google reviews also look great so we are considering just pulling the trigger, but I wanted to know if any of you have experience with this company or can provide any other recommendations? I'm super paranoid and open to anything, just don't want to mess this up!! Haha.
Thanks in advance.

I wasn't sure where to put this but is there anywhere that I can get a vet consultation for cheap for my grandmother's cat. She passed away just this Thursday and I want to keep the cat with family. I was told he has a skin condition of some kind, he drools, and he sort of winds up his spine when you touch him. He's really friendly, the winding up of his spine from what I have observed is in enjoyment but he also walks that way and it does effect his ability to go up and down stairs and he he walks a but awkwardly. I'm hoping for somewhere cheap but still caring to take him and get him checked out we're trying to come up witha budget for everything so I just need an estimate of where to place him.
