    OT: advice for moving to King of Prussia area

    I lived in Manayunk in the mid 2000's for three years after college. It is a great place to be for someone right out college. It felt a lot like college except you were making money. Could walk to bars, restaurants, and had easy access to center city. After a few years though your son will...

    OT- Philadelphia passes soda tax the bastards

    How exactly do you think this will help the schools? Do you honestly think it will have any impact at all? When it doesn't have an impact, are you okay with Philly taxing cheesesteaks, donuts, burgers, fries, etc. next?

    Love watching the premier league on weekend mornings. I root for Tottenham but if Leicester city ends up winning I won't be upset. What an amazing story this Leicester team has written so far this season.

    OT retirement question - well educated and well employed, why am I still worried about my future?

    To the OP... Sounds like you are on the right track. I would also recommend a few things: 1. Make sure that you have a will and that you update it periodically 2. Make sure that you and your spouse have adequate life insurance (10X salary). Even if your spouse is a stay at home parent they...

    OT: philly steakhouse review (updated)

    OT - Hilton Head, SC - Advice

    You can fly directly to Savannah from most places which is nice. Hilton Head Island has an airport (Very small) but you most likely won't be able to fly their directly from anywhere in the Northeast. There are plenty of places on the island to charter any type of boating activity you want. We...

    OT: Ridley Park/Philly housing

    just saw this post. Several years ago (6) I drove right past the boeing location on my way to work. It is a 30 min drive commute or less from anywhere in the city though I would recommend some of the places named in this thread other than places like manayunk. If your son doesn't like the city...
