Don’t Poop At Wawa

14 Upvotes

Hi my name is Bill, and I'm addicted to Wawa.

I never knew I had a problem until the Wawa on Aramingo closed down for bathroom plumbing repairs.

It's been a week. 7 days. 168 hours. I've found myself wandering the riverwards neighborhoods in search of breaded chicken hoagies, chicken caesar wraps, meatball subs , ice cream and cigarettes at all hours of the night.

I finally hit rock bottom last night, I went to Arby's. As I swallowed that first bite of old, dry beef on confusingly damp bread I knew I wasn't strong enough to endure much longer. (hat tip to the curly fries tho)

Please, tell your friends, tell your family, tell yourself, Don't Poop at Wawa!

Also, who poops at Wawa?! You gotta plan your poops better, i mean damn, you need to value your bowel movements, its about self-care and treating yourself right. Plus they don't even have toilet seats, they have the same toilets as a jail minus the sink on top.

Don't poop at Wawa. Thank you for your time.

Moving into Fishtown - got tips?

8 Upvotes

I'm moving to Philadelphia fairly soon - have any "must sees" in Fishtown you'd recommend?

I've checked out Philly a few times over the years and spent some time in Northern Liberties, so I've been to JBs, Kung Fu Necktie, Santos, etc. Haven't been back in a few years though, excited to see what's new!

roach problem

7 Upvotes

My neighbor is the root cause of the cockroach problem in fishtown. He feeds the birds 4-5 times a day with random shit from his fridge. This includes old pasta, old popcorn, old carrots, etc. He treats the sidewalk like his personal trashcan. How can I stop him from feeding the roaches so that we all can stop living amongst them? Can I report him to the city for something? HELP

Recommended contractors?

Does anyone have recommendations for contractors they have used for small-ish home renovation and improvement projects? Would love to support someone in the neighborhood.

Question from a tourist.

My wife and I are coming up to see a concert within the next few weeks at the Brooklyn bowl. We will be staying within a 10 minute walk. Is the area safe to walk at night from the concert or should we Uber?

Found a gorgeous apartment on N Front St between the Berks station and the Dauphin-York station. Is it safe?

Parking in Fishtown!

5 Upvotes

I'm moving to Fishtown soon and procrastinated addressing my parking needs. Are there any lots that offer monthly/annual rates that aren't sold out? Or is there any system of renting parking spaces from other residents?

Does anyone have any info on the lot at the corner of Frankford Ave and W Master Street? It looks like a community garden but I have seen no information on it and would love to possibly reserve a plot/help garden that area.
