Former parking lot for bingo hall at 1025 Mifflin St Phila. Currently a sprayground and sort of decent park. Still used as a parking lot too often. 😡

Unpopular opinion: football only stadiums are fine in a sea of parking far away from the city. If a train or two go there, fine. They are so infrequently used that I don’t want one on prime real estate. Baseball and basketball/hockey venues are different.
Deciding who to root for in the Super Bowl based on which team has the worse stadium. It's a tough call between NIMBY Hell and Suburban Hell. Both were constructed with astounding amounts of public money on behalf of billionaire NFL owners.

I like JG more than some but there's something about "communities that are disproportionately dependent on SEPTA" that really feels off. Public transit isn't a charity. It isn't an option of last resort for the poor. This can't be how we frame this.
As someone who represents communities that are disproportionately dependent on SEPTA to move about, this is very disturbing news. Philadelphia needs a fully funded transit system.

Imagine walking by The Gallery at 10pm and thinking “Damn, this is Just what Philly is all about.” My guy if you don’t want to go to a Sixers game, don’t. It’s replacing part of a sort of blah mall. What are you afraid of? Hoping for a vacant lot so someone can put a mural on it?
Imagine walking the streets around NYC’s Madison Square Garden at literally any time of day or night and thinking, ‘Damn, this is JUST what Philly is missing.’

I’m a native New Yorker now living in Philadelphia. It’s not “lazy” to say Philly isn't New York. It’s a fact.
Public transit is part of NYC culture; over 50% of New Yorkers don’t have a driver’s license. Taking SEPTA to a sports venue is not part of Philly’s culture.

Guns & the security overkill they produce ruin fun. 2008 Phillies parade had no barriers. People just walked in street with the parade. Pure joy. 10 yrs later you couldn’t cross Broad St during Eagles parade. Less spontaneous. Next one will be as joyful as a TSA screening.
The Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade turned into an atrocity. Don’t think it couldn’t happen here.

A strong and growing TU is important to a thriving Philadelphia. Keep this trend going.
Temple University has seen a 29% increase in deposits from first-year admitted students over the same time last year, a sign that officials hope means the beginning of an upward enrollment trend following a multiyear decline.
