And don't forget Lou's on North 33rd St. above Powelton Ave. Taco Lou's has been a great truck for years and his restaurant continues the tradition with superb fresh ingredients and a nice casual atmosphere. I had one of the tastiest and best burritos there, ever. It's a lit

I heard from Larry Maltz at the used bookstore that Philly Diner is closed.

You're right, Jeff, the incentive for neglect is the real issue here. Toll Brothers (with a keen eye for public relations) looks like the cavalry riding to the rescue, when in fact they caused the problem in the first place.

I believe faux slate was used on the restoration of the buildings in the 4200 block of Spruce Street. I stopped when the work was being done and saw the product, which was quite authentic looking. Anybody know who did this work and/or anymore detail?

Does anyone have 4 or 5 of those rubber gators (sp?) for watering around the base of street trees? I would like to borrow or buy them for use on my block.
Please let me know off-list or on.
Thanks,

Funny, I walked the neighborhood yesterday afternoon and as I often do, picked up litter on the way. I have to say I didn't find one of these flyers on the sidewalk, street, etc.

I have a compost bin (container?) that was provided to me by the city. Sounded like a good Idea when I took the class and got the free bin, but I quickly realized it was way too big for my needs. It's about 4' high x 3' in diameter, has a removeable top and door for dumping and turning.

Aside from the issue of unleashed dogs in Clark Park, I'm concerned about the serious impact they are having on the condition of the bowl.
They have stripped it of much of its grass and turned it literally into a dust bowl, which in turn becomes a mud bowl when wet. I've heard from several people

I'll grant that it's not all related to dog usage, but I stood for several minutes last night watching the dogs, owners, etc. to look at where they were and how far they roamed.
Almost all of them were concentrated in the northern end as you say, but several dogs were roaming in the middle and ev
In an effort to clear up any confusion about it, here is the exact wording of the City's leash law taken from the phila.gov website under "Philadelphia Code and Charter". The one owner who told me that he'd read the law and it said a dog only needed to be on a leash if it was not under control is w

Please change your settings, your messages are very hard to read.
As for an electrician, Dowling and Arrigale, hands down. Larry Arrigale loves to explain everything to you; his estimates are real and usually written as "not to exceed"; and his men are thorough, polite and neat in their work.

City Council Will Let Police Write Tickets for Loud Parties

Philadelphia police would get new powers to crack down on loud, window-rattling parties that disturb neighbors, under a bill just approved by a City Council co
I had a pair of shoes at this store (Spruce below 38th) and when I went to pick them up they'd closed for good. Is anyone else in the same situation? Does anyone know where the owner is so I can see about getting my shoes back?

Ah, perspective. How refreshing.

I think posting something like this is on the list is fine.

Tony,
To what do you attribute the statement, "Complying with Historical Commission requirements triples that cost, as a rule."
Also, assuming that the intent of Jannie's bill is to prevent historic designation, which I think is a fair assumption otherwise she wouldn't be lobbying to take control
It seems to me that Ms. Blackwell is more interested in Council bureaucracy and power than public input (foreshadowing the future of HD under Council's control?). Kenney was asking for public hearings on the entire issue of historic preservation and the workings of the current Historical Commission
Brian,
Couple of things:
You say that "this change (the Blackwell bill) adds a much-needed element of public review to the process".
I doubt it will do anything of the kind. Look at how Ms. Blackwell recently blocked Councilman Kenney's public hearings about the Historic Commission. Her bill has
It's been pointed out to me that I incorrectly referred to Robert Nix as a State Representative. He is a Republican Committeman. Sorry for any confusion.

Brian,
Since you brought up SHNA again, I'm curious about something, just as a public disclosure kind of issue. How many members does SHNA have?
Jim Lilly
Brian - Understandable mis-read, no harm no foul. So, how many members are there in SHNA? Jim
I have two tickets for tomorrow night's 8PM performance of Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal at Annenberg that I can't use. They are $27 apiece. If you're interested please email me.

Unless, as many homeowners do in UC, they keep one apartment for income and renovate the rest into their residence, in which case they do get the tax break, generate income and have their "single family dwelling".

Brian,
Correction - People would not be "caught unaware" as you say. Historic Designation doesn't just happen one day. Before any decision is made, PHC has to conduct two public meetings with sufficient notice given to every household in the area being considered. To imply otherwise is to mislead.
Just a couple of comments:
-- Old City certainly is an example of (1) high densities of population and activities; (2)mixtures of primary uses; (3) small-scale, pedestrian-friendly blocks and
streetscapes; and (4) the retention of old buildings mixed in with new. With Historic Designation, it now
Sharrief,
Why didn't you mention the Phila. School District? My guess is that they were the the strongest voice in determining the catchment area. I don't think anyone knows exactly how much input Penn had in drawing the boundaries for the school. Singling them out and bashing them for it seems un
