  1. it wont matter, they will be dead or in jail because goverenment took away the legit jobs in their communities. shit, the coca cola bottling plant is at erie ave and G streets. the last thing that area needs is to lose a legit employer
  2. i know it shouldnt bother me cause i dont live in the city, but seeing poor and minority communities lose jobs is wrong
  3. the philly soda tax is such a disaster that even the super liberal philly.com is calling it out lol
  4. this board is blue mountain ski and ride
  5. you deserve to get run over in wawa's lot for this
  6. the drainage is awful as well. last big storm we had there were 5 accidents in like a 3 hour period due to all the standing water. at least the 202 construction from KOP to Frazer is done, although looks like they are doing work on the west chester part spur of 202
  7. you aint lying. the 30 bypass usually takes about 7-8 minutes to get from frazer to downingtown. in the afternoon rush hour it is 45 minutes
  8. ya 22 does throw a monkey wrench into all that.
  9. To answer Schif's questions 1. if you have to be at work by 7:30, blue route shouldnt be a huge issue in the morning. leaving at 5 will absolutely suck though 2. 309 is not a very feasible route (time wise) compared to the northeast extension 3. landsdale is probably a good half way point, if not that maybe conshohocken so you are a little closer cause your traffic will be worse than hers. growing up going to the city for sporting events or airport, it was always listen to KYW when you get on the school kill to see if you should take that or the blue route. now the school kill is not even an option and it is blue route every time
  10. up until like 10 years ago they never used the on ramp traffic light things, but they use them during rush hour now
  11. As one of the most controversial Interstate Highways in Pennsylvania, construction of I-476 began in 1967, but was not completed until 1991 between MacDade Boulevard (Exit 1) and Interstate 76 (Exit 16), and until 1992 between Germantown Pike east/Chemical Road (Exit 19) and Interstate 276/Pennsylvania Turnpike (Exit 20), due to litigation between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and several communities in the road's path over environmental concerns. However, the section of Interstate 476 (south end of I-476) between I-95 and MacDade Blvd. (Exit 1) was opened in 1987, but signage labeled it as a route "To MacDade Blvd" until 1991 when I-476/The Blue Route was opened between Exits 1 and 16, and connected with the short existing section of roadway dating back to 1979 from Exit 16-Exit 19. An agreement in 1985 led to many environmental compromises in the road's design, including a downsized four-lane design south of Pennsylvania Route 3, ramp meters, and federal scenic route status, prohibiting the erection of advertisement billboards along the entire freeway portion. While the redesigned highway was largely well-received, the constriction to four lanes has led to bottleneck conditions in the area, and many communities that originally opposed the road have now called for its widening.[40] The Philadelphia Inquirer dubbed I-476 "the most costly, most bitterly opposed highway in Pennsylvania history" due to the decades of opposition it garnered.[41]
  12. i assume you aren't aware of the blue route's history. one of the most opposed highways in american history
  13. am i wrong tho? there is a reason it goes from 3 lanes to 2 lanes out of nowhere.
  14. the rich assholes on the main line are the reason the blue route is fucked up and goes down to 2 lanes around haverford. those pieces of shit fought the highway for decades and fucked all of us
  15. did skimag blow up the spot?
  16. ive been studying the LIRR as ive only ridden it twice. i need to ride the port washington branch cause its open cut through flushing so its bombed pretty good. i miss commuting by train, the view is so much better than 202 and the 30 bypass
  17. doug, if you like trains so much, how come you never ride them?
  18. I have no issues with ski2live, he seems to love skiing and you gotta respect that
  19. na, that money went to colorado. im not fortunate or privileged enough to have $500 just laying around
  20. it was 5 days of not having to spend money. if i would have stayed home i would have had to pay for 5 days of meals and gas.
  21. i actually made a profit on my jackson hole trip
  22. those plants are made out of plastic
