UPDATE: The Halal Map is complete…for now

297 Upvotes

Hi Map Guy here and now with snazzy logo,

After nearly 200 comments & emails from my posts, here is the Halal Cart Map

Currently on an all-nighter since I picked someone up from the airport. I went through all your comments and emails you sent me about your halal carts in Philly and we now have near 60 halal carts mapped out of the 600 recommended food spots in total!!

Thanks for all the help and support very glad we got this result with everyone’s suggestions.

Specifically, moving the email recommending form below the map & having the street names/numbers visible.

Sadly some recommendations I can’t complete such as having the carts hours and schedule posted. That’d take going to every cart and the truth is they are not consistent enough where I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone.

Thanks again

I think the house next to mine might be getting demolished without a permit. Who can I call?

122 Upvotes

It’s suspicious to me that even though the house is completely gutted, floors and all, you’d never know from the exterior. The curtains on the front are drawn tight and they’re leaving all the debris in a 6+ foot high pile in the backyard. From my yard I can see the whole empty frame of the structure.

Not trying to tattle but I share a wall with this house and I’m getting paranoid about those horror stories of places collapsing.

Thanks!

Question? Positive Masculine Activities in and around the city

88 Upvotes

Hey Philly friends. A friend recently came out FTM Transgender, and wanted to do some “masculine activities” I’m 100% certain that wasn’t a come on so I’m trying to come up with some queer friendly stuff we can do around the city. So far I’ve looked in archery, little informal bowling league with cool friends and the batting cages at south bowl, and taking in a game (take him to a Phillies/Mets game and get beer and hot dogs, etc.) I was wondering if anyone else has a good idea of safe, traditionally masculine activities so my friend can tap some of that sweet sweet gender euphoria!

What is a good place to host a birthday party with open standing room for chatting and talking? Approximately 5-10 people. It could be a restaurant, bar or any other type of venue.

Question? Good Golf Instructors in the Area?

7 Upvotes

Hey there everyone.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but am looking at taking some golf lessons this offseason and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of an instructor they’ve had a positive experience with.

I’m by no means a great golfer (22 handicap) but would like to begin working on my game a little more.

Thanks in advance!

Northwest Barber

3 Upvotes

Hello! I have an Angolan friend who just moved to Philadelphia. He is living in the northwest and is looking for a barber. Bonus points if they speak French, Portuguese or Lingala. But English is fine too!

I posted on r/philadelphiaeats already but I’ll add for more exposure. I am also looking for somewhere to purchase flour for fufu, potato greens, and cassava greens. Willing to travel for that.
