I know that within my own family, who all live out in various PA and NJ suburbs, I pay about 20% of what the LOWEST of their property taxes happen to be! They can't believe how LOW my taxes are. This is also one of the primary reasons why the Suburbs hate the City Wage Tax -- they can easily see

[UC] [ADMIN] new list: culture

At the request of a dozen or so people led by Ross Bender, I've created a new list called culture. It is for discussion of cultural things in University City. Of course, if a cultural event is happening, it's still appropriate to discuss it on univcity. Some people wanted to be able to

Hey, hey, hey. My posting wasn't intended to be complaint about paying taxes -- I realize that the City's assessments are not, in most cases, in line with actual market values and that property values have been sky rocketing in the area -- I was just curious as to whether my neighbors have gotten

[UC] Iron fence free to good home

2003-07-24 Thread John Salmon
I have about 20-30 feet of circa 1910 wrought iron fence in my back yard. It's fairly simple, about 3 feet high. It's free to the first person who would like to carry all of it away. Would prefer that it be used for a yard in W. Philly rather than being sold as scrap, etc. thanks, John

I know this was discussed on the list before, but I can't find anything in the archives. Is there a consensus on which wireless phone provider has the best reception in West Philly? I have a Sprint PCS phone that I'm about to cancel because I get no signal right outside my house in 4600 block
