Thank you for this, I'm 45 and definitely don't consider myself GenX. I've always used Frat Pack vs Brat Pack but think grunge vs hair bands is another great example. I personally like saying I'm part of the Oregon Trail generation, micro generation born between 1977-1985.

The more outdoor seating Philly has the healthier it is. I didn't know if it was because we were coming out of the pandemic but peak streetery is when the city felt the most alive.

I'm torn on this, seems like a good fit for this location but wanted the lot redeveloped into something with more density since it's right at a subway stop.

It's amazing how many people are so car brained that they think there is a shortage of parking spaces because they think every person that moves into some of the most walkable neighborhoods in the world needs a car.

What are the chances something actually gets built here this time? I like that the developer pushed back on the need for parking. I live in Pennsport and don't want the river to become a bunch of towers on parking podiums. I want an urban, walkable neighborhood.

Feels like Philly is always about the same growth no matter when it is in the country's economical cycle. Doesn't go up too much during the boom days but also doesn't bust as deeply.

We need density and activity on the Parkway, should be able to grab coffee, beer, meal, glass of wine, or ice cream, whatever after visiting the museums. Keep the outer lanes for cars and put pedestrianized walkway with shops in the middle

Developer worked with artist to come up with a nice design that preserved the mosaic. Nimbys complained it was too tall even though it was shorter than surrounding buildings.

This is what we could have had, a well thought out design that preserved most of the Painted Bride

Perfect example of Nimbys using preservation as a weapon to protect the status quo. Developer worked with community and artist to preserve the mosaic but Nimbys still fought it because the well designed building was like 1 floor to high. Now it's being demolished!

Former Painted Bride building will be demolished to make way for apartments
For more than 25 years, the building was wrapped in a 7,000-square-foot mosaic created by famed artist Isaiah Zagar. Some pieces were removed in 2023 in anticipation of demolition.

The "protection costs" the police/city are forcing all the festivals to pay is ruining one of the things making this city great. These festivals build community, bring people out of their homes into the streets and make us safer.

With all these billionaires caving to Trump we need a new network for places like Sesame Street, Colbert, Kimmel, South Park, etc. Maybe we can call it American Network Television Institute For All or A.N.T.I.F.A. for short.

I always thought that this was kind of a BS stat but glad to get rid of. Philly was successful enough to maintain a high population unlike cities like Detroit and Cleveland. #3 and not far behind on the list is NYC which no one would call a poor city.

Philly is no longer the country’s poorest big city
Philadelphia's poverty rate dropped below 20% for the first time since at least 1979, according to new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Houston is now the nation's poorest big city.
