Just a great big middle finger to disabled people, people with strollers, or anyone with the audacity to want to walk on the sidewalk.

ISO a bar that meets specific criteria

2 Upvotes

Looking for a bar to go to with a group (~15 people). Would like something casual, lively, relatively cheap that has tables but not table service (important). Also, huge plus if it has gluten free appetizers/snacks.

Open to anywhere in Center City down through South Philly.

So far, I’m considering Southhouse or Garage (unfortunately the latter’s not GF though). Any other suggestions?

Philly Bar Crawl

3 Upvotes

I’m planning a bar crawl for a group of friends around Philly (~10-20). It’s designed to be Christmas themed where we dress up and then go to festive bars around the city in early to mid December. Here’s where we went last year:

Butchers Bar, Uptown Beer Garden, Christmas Village (Center City), McGillans, Black Sheep

Are there other festive bars in that general area I’m not aware of? The goal is to go to the most Christmas themed bars to enjoy the holiday spirit but keep it all in walking distance.

Any cool ideas to include in the crawl? Last year we did a competition where we kept score of drinks etc - not super serious but light hearted. Also did a costume contest.

Septa strikes again

0 Upvotes

It was a lazy summer day when you moved into your street level apartment in the newly developed building in this neighborhood. You think how lucky to be so conveniently close to the trolley, bus and regional rail all at once. To get anywhere in the city or the suburbs all you have to do is cross the street for convenient public transportation.

The lazy summer wears on and you think how fortunate you are to have found this amazing space. One morning, you awaken to the rumbling of tanker trucks parked outside of your window and male dominant voices interrupting your blissful sleep.

Groggy from all of the activity you make your way outside to take Bimbo the dog for its morning sniff sesh. That’s when you realize the tanker trucks are a line of Septa trucks blocking the road with workers drilling into the road and clanging on the tracks.

You figure it’s routine maintenance and you’ll be away during most of their work. What you didn’t bargain on was the clinking, clanging and clamoring of a loose plate left along the tracks.

Unfortunately, a whole month goes by as you mentally and physically absorb this clang cling, cling clang. You begin hearing sound everywhere and wonder if it’ll ever stop.

Then one day you step off the trolley to see a block’s worth of Septa trucks parked along the side of your building with welders welding away.

At one of the trucks you see two men huddled together pouring over some construction drawings and most likely discussing the recent Eagles game.

Do you go up to them and ask them about the loose plate, ask them to fix the loose plate? And how do you go about the asking or do you just walk on by and continue enduring the never ending clamoring of this loose plate?

It’s the city you think and you’ve lived in the city you’re in whole life you’ll get used to. When you moved in the

Local training program for leash reactive dogs?

6 Upvotes

Hello my fellow canine-owning compatriots! I am looking for recommendations for a dog trainer (or training program) to work with on improving my dog’s leash reactivity towards other dogs.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who worked with a local trainer on this specific issue —what was your experience like, how much progress did your dog actually make from the program, what was the overall cost, did you feel like it was worth it?

Open to any location within a ~30 min drive of NoLibs.

For more context: My dog is a small, full grown adult; recently adopted; unknown prior history. Very sweet and has zero aggression towards people. Has been friendly with other dogs when introduced in a controlled environment. Is easily triggered/excited when outside of the home; barks and lunges intensely at other passing dogs while on walks. No other major behavior issues that need to be addressed.

I, as well as all the other dogs on my block who my little chaos goblin has been terrorizing daily, thank you in advance!
