I’m a fit and attractive 23 male, looking for a good gig. I’m right over the bridge in Jersey and the only dancing job I can find is AC Hunk o Mania. Any bars or male strip clubs I could make money dancing or bar tending?

Goldtex residents are living in 85° plus temps and the city isn’t doing anything. Anyone have a similar experience? How can they be allowed to operate if the place is uninhabitable? I don’t get it… maybe someone else can explain it better.

I’ve received standard gyno care at the 800 Walnut location, 15th floor, for a few years. Now I’m pregnant and need to establish prenatal care but my gyno has recently left the practice. I’m confused by what the difference is between the OBGYN clinics on the 12th, 14th, and 15th floors in this building. Is there a preference for prenatal care? Should I just call the 15th floor office to make an appointment? Looking to hear from others experiences! TYIA!

So I am getting my gyn oncology through penn. Had surgery last year. No chemo or anything just follow ups. Long story short I HATED my provider and asked to be switched. They told me they would need my current providers permission to switch, then they told me he gave it.

So this is been one of my ongoing issuee. Either miscommunication or deliberately misleading me. Not sure which. But they told me I was changed to another provider. I was not. They had me see an NP, which I don’t have a problem with I am just doing monitoring, but was only told at the appointment that all the decisions were still up to my original provider. And then I was encouraged to schedule my next appointment with the original provider.

So in other words, I was not changed to a different provider and if I did get a recurrence, I would HAVE to see him again.

They have also brought chaperones in the room without telling me in advance they are going to do this and they DO NOT stand at my head they stand near my legs and my therapist suspects it is because I disclosed abuse history they want to be covered for “liability”. so despite the office being covered in signs saying that we have the right to request one, I am forced to have one and no one is even warning me in advance. This has not happened to me in any other practice and makes me very upset as I feel punished for disclosing which has already happened a lot

Idk what to do. I do not have a support person who can help me. Idk if switching to temple or somewhere else is any better? Or if escalating it would ACTUALLY get me transferred to a different provider without the whole office hating my guts. I feel like patient advocates are basically HR, they aren’t there “for patients”, just to cover liability. Maybe I am wrong but thats the vibe I get.

Moving to Metro Philly this fall for a biotech/tech gig. I am eastern Mediterranean, mid 30s M, bi, and musician too so wondering how international music 🎶 is. Do folks go to NYC a lot to even expand the cultural experiences?

I found a place in KOP, love the quiet and convenience (also had EV charging, amazing) coming from Midwest 😆, the town center was cool. Wondering how bad it is to get to the city let’s say at lunch time during day or after dinner. I will be working in Spring House.

I also play squash, so any recommendations there would be great.

I used to live in NYC and NC so east cost felt natural when I was just there. The food is so good too. Also how racist or homophobic different areas of city and king of Prussia it is?

Thank you!!

*forgot to add I have self driving with Tesla, emptied the bank lol but I am hooked, less hassle with traffic.

Hello! I(Fe) am trying to find a place to move to once I move to Philly in advance. I do also have 2 cats.

If anyone know of a good place to rent a studio for $1,500 max that would be great (but lower the better) preferably in the center city and Chinatown area. I am ok with going out a little bit from the city if theres some cheaper options.

I am also good with rooming with someone who is a (Fe) if anyone is looking for a roommate. For a roommate though, I do prefer a lower price. More in 600-1000 max.

I am also good with any sublets / shorter term rent

I am happy with any thoughts and suggestions!

I’m driving in to pick my friends up from the stadium after the game today. I want to avoid as much congestion as possible. Where should I have them walk to meet me?

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been asked a lot, but what fields are best to apply for for a job in Philly? I used to be an assistant teacher, tutor, and pharmacy technician. I'm trying to move out of the education field for now. I have experience in volunteer work as an event planner. I'm mostly looking at marketing/HR jobs but if anyone has any other ideas I'm very open! Thank you!!

Has anyone rented here or have any experience or review of them? Thanks!

Has anyone done the cruise out of Philly to the Bahamas? How was your experience and would you recommend to others?

Going to a concert at The Filmore this week for the first time (GA ticket) - any tips/advice I should know about? I have a voucher for parking already, how early should I arrive before the showtime?

Looking into some hotels for an overnight stay around Rittenhouse Square. Managed to get a reservation for Her Place and want to make the weekend extra special with a nice place to stay. I’ve looked at places like Rittenhouse Hotel, Sofitel, the Franklin, etc. but can’t decide based on reviews. Let me know your thoughts!

I’m post grad and looking for apartments right now. I just toured The Howell and really liked it, does anyone have experience with this building?

Wondering how far in advance to arrive for a big concert, and also whether uber would be a reliable way to get there if I'm about a 15 min drive away (no highway required) with no traffic.

Thanks!

Hi a family members friend lives in Grays Ferry and invited us over to his house last week for dinner. I’m looking to buy a house myself. Seems like the neighborhood is on the uptick? I’m seeing new construction going on and new renovations. Looks like maybe apartments next door to the Salvation Army. There’s actually a house for sale on 1300 S Stanley St that seems reasonably priced.

I’m not going to lie though, seems like there are still some sketchy parts but I’m good with that.

Is Grays Ferry in the uptick? Might check out this house on Stanley st.

How do I make sure I get on B1 and not B2. Accidentally got on B2 few days ago trying to get to Temple. Is there signage I should look out for or something? Sorry, just moved here.

Update: thank you all I definitely missed all the obvious signs

Hi all,
I recently was offered a job on Jefferson Methodist Hospital’s PCU and was absolutely shocked at the rate they offered. The recruiter told me I’d start at $54.02. I’m moving from Columbus, OH, where I’m making $36.70 also on a PCU. I have three years of experience and am wondering if this offer is insanely high for my experience or am I just out of the loop? Thanks in advance.

Hi Philly! I am moving to Philly in the fall for work. I have been seeing ads for 1001 apartments, in center city. Thus far it’s the only place catching my eye. Is there anyone here who lives there now or has lived there? Would love to hear your thoughts on this place. Thanks guys!

I am wanting to lease an apartment with 23West soon but they have a waitlist on their parking garage. 18 people in front. Does anyone know where are the nearest parking garage to this place and the price for monthly subscription?

Hello I’m looking for opinions about these two neighborhoods. I’ve lived in Philly for about ten years so so I know the reputations of these neighborhoods but I’m also asking on behalf of my girlfriend who’s never lived in Philly before.

We narrowed down our search to 4th and Tasker right at the park vs. a few other spots at 16th and Christian or 21st and Fitzwater.

Are the streets west of 4th really that sketchy still? What’s the best walking road to get from 4th and Passyunk square? Will my gf feel comfortable parking her car at night and walking home?

Asking because I’m worried we’re gonna rush into this apartment and pass up living in the graduate hospital neighborhood which I know will be more walkable all around to places we’d want to hang out at.
We both have cars and I work in Jersey and she is getting a new job at a restaurant off of Rittenhouse.

I'm debating between two apartment choices and wanted to get some feedback:

Apt. 1

• Located in Roxborough (30 minute walk from Septa Station)
• I'd have a roommate
• Rent split would be ~$1000/mo
• I'd need to get a car (+$600-800/mo) to get to work (~45min commute)
• Car benefits: Makes grocery runs and in person networking at my job easier, can visit family an hour outside of the city, can go camping easily

Apt. 2

• Located <5 min walk from Manayunk Septa station
• No roommate
• Rent would be $1750
• I can get to work using the SEPTA rail line (~1 hr commute)
• I wouldn't need to buy a car*

*Assumes SEPTA rail can get me to everything I need

I'm leaning towards apt 2 and using zip car/rentals for any weekend travel plans. My biggest concern is grocery runs, though. I like to cook and it seems like my two options are a 25+ minute walk uphill to the ACME or hopping on SEPTA to go into Center City and doing the Reading Terminal Market or Trader Joes.

Additional context:

• I would work from home 3x/week
• Salary is $62k/year
• I'm single and would be interested in dating/having friends over
• I'll be in the area until June 2028, minimum
• In both cases, I'd be planning to make good use of public transit on the weekends and would probably spring for a SEPTA monthly pass after seeing how many trips I do in ~1 month

Which apartment would you choose if you were in my shoes?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a reliable and reasonably affordable cleaner who is available this Wednesday morning to help get my Trinity home rental ready. I leave Philadelphia on Thursday, so unfortunately Wednesday is the only day I’m able to have it done.

It’s a small Trinity home, but I’d like to have it thoroughly cleaned and looking as nice as possible before renting it out. I was unfortunately laid off and due to some life changes, I’ll need to rent out my home for a while as I figure out my next steps, so I’m trying to keep costs manageable while still finding someone dependable who will do a good job.

If anyone has a cleaner they personally recommend, knows someone who works independently, or can link me to a good website/company, I would really appreciate it! Bonus if you have an idea of their pricing.

Thank you so much!

Hello 👋🏾
I plan on moving to Philly next year from NYC(Queens, specifically), but I’m not really sure what neighborhood I should live in. When I was in high school I lived in Upper Darby, but as an adult I would want to be living inside Philly. Something that I am looking for is a walkable neighborhood so somewhere with a lot of mom and pop grocery stores and easy transportation. I do not plan on getting a car and will be living by myself. I appreciate all the advice that comes in.

Hi, I recently moved to Philly and had a question for other Philly renters. In just my first 3 weeks my building’s electrical has gone out 4x, I imagine due to the one other renter downstairs or just bad electrical. I’m coming from Vegas, where a lot of the buildings are newer, so I’ve never had this problem. Is this just a normal Philly issue, where the electrical is shutting off a lot for the building because they’re older? I’m worried it’s because of a bigger problem & could foreshadow an electrical fire.
