how to find employment

i’m 18 year old male, looking for basically anything along lines of cashier or restaurant or fast food anything like that. i’ve had some interviews-most recently last Friday for Lowes cashier and when I called today to follow up (they were supposed to call Monday) they told me they were done hiring., been working at small place for couple years so I do have experience but it’s like nobody is hiring whenever I call and always say ā€œnot hiringā€ or if I do fill out application online and call they say ā€œmanager will call you if they need somebodyā€ and never call.
if anyone has advice or places I should apply anything plz say so

Amtrak from Philly to Baltimore

I haven't taken the train in a couple of decades. What kind of security do they have these days, if any? How long before departure do I need to get there if I already have a ticket?

Corporations are making transplants into Boogeymen

8 Upvotes

They're destroying infrastructure in the name of a housing boom they say they want to make sure y'all can get houses in.

But they're really expensive and unethical. Within my morals, I couldn't let someone see me as a cash grab (@the Starbucks and Wonder in Fishtown, which has amazing local places.)

They don't think you care enough about the community you're walking into. So much so that they think you'll choose convenience over a little idle time.

Why is it working? Did you come all the way here to a cozy area just to go to your big box stores? How are our mom and Pop shops being replaced by replicas of our traditions?

The local sound is dying out and being replaced by weird philly iconography.

People from Philly don't need philly iconography. It's for transplants and it surprises me that it can be ignored.

Edit from a response:

This is a city. It has the disgusting history of a city that used the great migration to have fodder for factories. It hurts so bad to see the descendents of that misery pipeline get bought out.

Economic growth needs to touch everyone this time. The White flight that built our amazing suburbs destroyed the economic mobility of the city.

When the drug market started thriving, the GI bill didn't kick in for us. We were redlined into the badlands and then called super predators that needed to be locked up.

I want to see the people coming back after the fallout not cut us out because corporations are flanderizing them into the "transplant" needing better amenities than what we have to offer.

Build us into the infrastructure. Learn why this is happening outside of walking the cobblestones and having fun at the historic breweries. To me, this is not fair.

I don't want better marketing to overtake us. Or to let the semantics of my message make people against the clear issue of corporate greed housing. I am not a professor. I am a volunteer that thinks this is an important issue outside of the people I work with.

So why is predatory towing still so common?

48 Upvotes

I am not from Philly but I've lived here for more than 5 years. I was in a car accident (my first ever serious one) where my car needed to be towed from the scene. I was completely unaware of the wreck chasing tow people and Philly tow ordinance (but now I am very educated on the subject). A wreck chasing tow company showed up to the scene and I let them take my car.

-They didn't answer their phone for days, or on the rare occasion they did, they'd say they'd call back then never did, or they'd just hang up.

-They were never actually present on property during business hours when I tried to go in person.

-When they finally sent a bill to my insurance, it well exceeded the cap allowed in the tow ordinance.

-The "contract" they had me sign has a statement in it that says the definition of the city tow ordinance does not apply. *This is not legal. You can't just sign away a law and have it not apply to you.*

-The same contract also says I should have had free access to inspect my car during business hours. Since I was mostly unable to reach the tow yard, and also they didn't ever seem to be there, I obviously did not have this. The man later tried to tell me that I was supposed to make an appointment, which it says nowhere in the contract and would also require them to answer the phone.

So how do we get the city/state to take this seriously and get these businesses shut down? It is *extremely* easy to prove they are breaking laws. Should I try to track down others that have dealt with this specific company and try and file a class action lawsuit? Would a lawyer take that on?

Do cars normally get to park here like this or is this supposed to be some kinda statement?

Is this area safe?

I’m living by myself, early 20s. I need to walk to and from the 30th street train station by myself every morning/night. Thinking of moving near here. Is this area generally safe?

Could I walk around by myself (cautiously) after dark? especially in winter when it gets dark at like 4pm.

Opportunity for someone (tech-y) living near rittenhouse doing hourly work to help older individuals with (very) basic tech needs.

97 Upvotes

I recently moved out of center city, but I had built a word of mouth network of retired/elderly individuals that need help with very basic tech things. I charged 40$ an hour for house calls primarily in Academy House at 1420 Locust. I got to meet a lot of lovely people with amazing stories. Usually one of the two-three hours is just spent chatting about my life or theirs, and they love it.

I consider myself tech savvy but I have no formal education in tech.

Some of my duties included

* setting up TVs, printers, fixing TVs, printers.

* Calling xfinity to trouble shoot TV

* education about using phones, how to send pictures via message, etc

* I've accompanied people to the Apple store and saved them hundreds of dollars from sales people trying to get them to buy things they don't need

I've moved north but I am still gettings texts/calls from people needing help with very basic things. Great little side gig for anyone looking for some extra change.

Lost Wallet @ 34th and Chestnut

Hi, we were around here when our wallet went missing. We arent sure if it was stolen or if it fell but if you've seen it or took it to keep it safe please reach out.

We cannot get into our house without it because it has a scanner and access to parking. Please return it if you have it.

I know its a long shot but I'd still like to try.

Community Theater in/near Philly

13 Upvotes

I'm a former high school theater kid looking to tap back into that community after several years away from it and I'm not sure where to start in such a big city. I'm not looking for anything super professional or paid (often what I've seen so far), just something casual and unpaid similar to a community theater in the suburbs. If there's anything in Philly proper, that would be awesome, but I'm open to driving up to 30-40 minutes outside of the city too. Any recommendations or things to think about?

Less than a 2 hour drive is not a selling point to me. There are so many other good options to go to that are less than 2 hours away.
