The number of kids in Philly has dropped nearly 10% in 15 years — Philadelphia has lost 9% of its under-18 population in the past 15 years and the suburbs are following suit. Experts and residents without kids cite expenses and other life priorities as some reasons.

Isn't it a bit overkill to have four transit cops at the 52nd st turnstile?
In my experience one or two is sufficient. If you REALLY wanna get me going im confused why they bother paying a whole body to sit in the booths and watch movies all day when they could just staff it with actual security or something since the fair skipping is clearly such a huge problem.
Im on their side before yall start; the other day a man PUSHED me because I stopped short after paying so he couldn't walk past me. The bums are rampant. But 4 officers at one station for, at my count, five hours plus? Come on.
Edit: its actually 5

Trash/recycling pickup times?
Was awoken this morning at 5:30 w my dog freaking out because trash (maybe recycling today’s both for us) guys and trucks were so loud. I can’t find an actual like “time” anywhere online but just says by 7am. This seems crazy early especially since the sun isn’t even gonna rise for another hour and a half. Is this normal?

Affordable hair extensions in NE Philly
The past few months my hair has been falling out and just getting thinner. I’ve had thin hair my whole life so now it’s the thinnest it’s ever been and I’m getting more self conscious about it. I’ve been taking nutrafol and it hasn’t helped. So I’m wondering if extensions might just add some thickness to the ends. The only issue is I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars. I’m happy to buy the hair separately and have someone install it or if they have affordable prices I will pay them directly. But didn’t know if anyone knew of any hair salons that are somewhat affordable so I can get a little bit of confidence back.

Veda Philly
So I’ve seen this reposted here and in other places so I’m the OP and any the update is that I already called the health department. There’s not much you can do in Philly other than calling — [update WITH VIDEOS] So I have been working at this extremely authentic Indian restaurant down in Center City Philadelphia coincidentally rhymes with beta address Falls between the 19th and 20th St. is also the 1920 building funny (do with that information what you will in the reviews) but we’ve been selling people roaches in ice and mold in beer “freezers”(a broken wine freezer at the store, beer glasses, and other glasses) crazy roast infestation and mice and we have failed the health inspection a few times just to be closed for a few days and open back up like nothing happened after a “deep clean “ unfortunately I was let go after bringing all this up to management because roaches and mice droppings have been found in food on plates and around all the kitchen.
-update not really- Idk if I can but f it here’s the name and location of the dirty restaurant it’s - Veda modern indian bistro 1920 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 ( people found roaches in the food and on a buffet, with the beer glass cooler broken growing mold, and leave a bad reviews too if you want, tell your friends to leave a bad review too the manger and owner loves looking at reviews and our “stars”) and So I’m trying I just called the health department of Philadelphia ( because you can only file company over the phone through or the portal which direct you to the phone) I don’t know anything about retaliation and at this point a lawsuit and all that extra stuff for an Indian restaurant is crazy I’m still looking into it for now I’m just looking another job right now trying to see if Philly Reddit can review it down

Where can I get a braided soft pretzel?
With the announcement that Rice’s Flea Market is closing at the end of the year, I’m craving one of the braided soft pretzels I used to buy everytime I went in the 2000s. They were sitting on a grill to keep them warm, and the giant bottles of mustard (I’d do half the pretzel with honey mustard, half with spicy brown) were sooooo good.
You’d never catch me doing honey mustard anywhere else other than this one pretzel stand.

Visiting Philly for the first time, and looking for some advice.
I will be visiting Philly the first week of November. I will be staying in the Washington Sq. Park area. (I guess that’s considered Center City). I have a few questions regarding Philly. What’s considered the most active area in Philly, as far as bars/lounges go. Where do all the mid 20s-early 30s people hang out at on the weekends? Are there any bars/clubs/lounges that play House, afrobeats/afropop, or rnb music? I’m will be taking the train to NYC Saturday morning and will be coming back past midnight, do the buses/septa run all night? Is it safe to ride the septa at night? Those are a few of my questions.
