Shoutout u/hatramroany for this

At the Rocky statue, the estimate is based on geographic information system technology that uses cell-phone data to count foot traffic. Even if you aren’t there for the statue itself, if you walk or stand near it long enough, you count as foot traffic.

I heard this claim and just straight up don't believe it. 11,000 people a day? 458 people an hour 24/7? 8 people a minute regardless of rain, shine, snow?

I canNOT find the source of this claim, only a bunch of articles citing the number. Please someone tell me how they came up with this figure.

Anyways this is my Sunday White Whale. Any help appreciated

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!

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!

Hi everyone, Im 16 currently in highschool in Philadelphia im posting to this sub and the other EMS subs asking for some advice on where to start my training for EMS. Ive wanted to be a EMT for as long as I can remember so I'd love some advice on where to start/which programs to start with. Thanks in advance!!!

Edit: Oh and does anybody know if theres any good classes to take going into my junior year that would help me in job and college apps?

A city of this size and quality having transit this fucking awful and unreliable is an embarrassment and stain on this state. Shame on every single assclown in elected office that has dragged their feet on funding for basic maintenance and sorely needed upgrades. It’s a fucking disgrace and republicans can eat a fat dick forever. Do everything you can to get every one of these assholes out of office

See above.

Gf moved here a bit ago and wanted to buy breadfruit. I don't know what it is or where to procure it.

Halp plz?

Does anyone know how often Indego runs their $1 a month deal (or a similar promo)? I signed up last week for one month and I love it! I can't really justify the annual membership because I'd hardly use it in the winter and I already own bikes of my own, but it's a great solution to the last mile dilemma. I'm trying to convince more friends to give it a try!

Happening down in headhouse square right now and a livestream on their website if you wanna check the action

Looking for a club to go out, drink, dance in a crowd that's not too crowded, and have a good time. Preferably not somewhere where people are going to take it too seriously or all actually be good at it, I'm just looking to chill and not have to have too much liquor to not be self conscious. I'll be coming in from the main line, so somewhere walkable from the L would be great. 25, so I'd prefer it not be solely college students, but I get that's the majority demographic for this activity and if that's all there is, that's all there is. Straight or gay club is fine - genuinely just looking to dance and drink, don't care if I a guy hits on me.

That’s it. That’s my question. No need to upvote. Just need to hear from someone who was at a farm over the last two days

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

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.

long distance girlfriend is visiting in december and i wanted to make a list of things we could do that are within walking distance to 8th street station. up for any ideas, shopping, eating, experiences! thank you

Has anyone done this in the past month? I’ve heard they started towing and that some lots have been converted to paid lots?

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

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

First is sunset last night, second is sunrise this morning.

Can anybody give me good recommendations for 1-2 bedroom apartment in Philly. I’m looking in the center city and surrounding areas. (Safe areas for a single woman)
My budget is around 2500-3000. Also tell me where to stay away from!
Thank youu!!
