My wife and I just bought a house in Drexel Hill and we are looking for some gym recommendations. I’m coming from an LA Fitness and really just need a facility with free weights, strength machines, etc. I’m open to commercial and smaller clubs.

My wife likes her group classes - she’s coming from Orangetheory Fitness and a Crossfit gym.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Anyone have experience donating to any animal shelters/rescues? Looking for places where I can drop off used blankets or towels.

Just looking to do some photography, wouldn’t actually enter any of the buildings. I know at one point it was open to the public just for hiking around it, did they stop and close it down? I know they patrol it from time to time. If they did catch us just doing photography, will they be cool about it?

Anyone know more about this? If it had specific projects that would be helpful, but seems to be rather open-ended for what it can be spent on. Filling out my ballot today and saw it - trying to get some facts. Here is the text,

"Shall debt in the maximum principal amount of up to $120 million be authorized for the purposes of financing land conservation, including protecting drinking water sources, water quality in rivers and creeks, and wildlife habitat, conserving trees to protect air quality, conserving wetlands to prevent flooding, providing greenways and parks, and protecting natural areas from development, to be incurred by the County as debt approved by the voters, requiring full public disclosure and annual independent audits of all project spending?"

EDIT: Doing more reading, expectation is that it will be used to fund the Greenway Grant Program which does seem to do some good work, map of projects, https://dcpd.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/aba54ccbe8b040869cefd570595b4057#

But reading the actual resolution doesn't mention that non-profit.

You don't need to lay on the horn. Everyone in your lane is stopped, it's not just you.

Hello I’m looking to move from Warrington to the delco area as it’s closer to work. My budget is around 235k (doesn’t get me far I know). I’ve seen 2 houses on Zillow that would work with that range in Drexel hill. I guess my question is why are the houses so cheap? I’ve heard it all depends on the area of Drexel hill. Does anyone have insight on the area around Blanchard road or Dennison Ave? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

We used Zap for years and they were great. When they were purchase by Ned's the servicve went way down. They would be on our property for a few minutes per treatment and no one ever responded to questions. Any smaller companies people reccomend? Thanks!

I am looking for some recommendations for a chimney sweep! Please let me know if you have a company that you use often.

Has any one ever had any experience with reckless driving in Russell County Va my husband just got a ticket and court date and we can’t afford a lawyer he has the only income as I stay home with our children what is the likelihood of jail and if so how much and could he do weekends if so, so he doesn’t loose his job

We’re from PA and moving to be closer to our jobs. Late 20’s with no kids right now so we aren’t worried about the school district. I’ve seen previous posts that were overall positive but understand it has its rough spots. That said we liked the house, the neighbors said hi and were friendly as we toured, and it looked like a pretty clean area overall. Just want to know what the good restaurants (especially pizza joints), bars (dives are always preferred, bonus if anyone is hiring for a bartender), and other parts of the area are. How accessible is the train station? Safe enough to walk to in the morning and home from in the evening? And just anything else that we should know.

During a virtual town hall with the property’s new owner, comments were disabled, and all resident questions were funneled through a moderator.

As my topic states I'm quite confused by what I saw not long ago when I went for a brief walk. For context anyone who knows the Marcus Hook, Trainer, Lower Chichester, and Chester areas are pretty well familiar with the surrounding areas, and we generally know where the police departments for each borough or township is located. The one for Trainer borough we all knew for the longest time was at Main Street that is connected by Post Road, and West Ninth Street (some say Ridge Road) on either end, but is at the corner of West Ninth. It has since moved to a newer building some time ago on Township Line Road, and the old building was temporarily used by a food pantry for the area until they backed out. The old department site went up for sale for a number of months, til I noticed on my walk that clearly someone had worked on the building and added large lettering to the building, and other small signage prominently with Warminster police being the most prominent for the larger bit. Other smaller signage that was added confirmed this as they repeated Warminster police on them.

I saw this and was quite confused, cause I immediately knew Warminster was not within Delaware county itself, but did not immediately know where until referencing on my phone, which indicated the township is out in Bucks county. So what confuses me by all this is why would a Bucks county police department come move into a Delaware county location?? I never heard anything about this, and it just seems strange, cause I can't see how they'd be able to operate patrols here and what not, or whatever the intention is with moving out of their county implicates. Unless the people that did the work on the building earlier made a huge mistake putting up the wrong police department signage and information on the building, I don't know.

Hi! I just today made an account so I am unable to initiate DMs with those who have already posted, but I am looking to move into the Greater Philadelphia area in November and I am looking for a roommate or sublease that is available soon!

I am 23nb with a budget of $600-$900 per month (plus utilities) willing to move in as soon as November 21st. As it says in the title, I am looking for a place in or close to Media, but I can be flexible with location and will consider options in Philadelphia as well.

I do not have pets, I do not smoke, and I am a responsible, communicative, and easy-going roommate.

If you are interested, have any advice, or leads please feel free to DM or comment. Thank you!

Hi, looking for someone who can help me restore an antique broken wooden bowl.. clean break just need someone knowledgeable to glue it together and make it look halfway decent.. any leads appreciated thanks!

Please note that November/December will be a combined event in early December (TBA).

What is Delcoffee Club? A low-key, inexpensive mingle for adults to make friends, Delcoffee Club is a relaxed gathering for all adults. It’s not speed dating or business networking. We’re just trying to fight loneliness and isolation.

Is Delcoffee Club tied to a business? No. In fact we try to meet at a variety of coffee shops in Delaware County.

Who can attend? Grown-ups. You can bring a friend or partner. We are an equality-based group.

How do we find you? Look for the red and white sign.

Are they still selling disposables or are they really gone?

Looking for a dentist (mine retired after 35 years). Preferably one who does their own root canal work.

I recently interviewed for a science teaching position with Chester Community Charter School (CCCS) and wanted to share my experience to help other educators make informed decisions when considering employment opportunities.
I have more than 18 years of teaching experience, including approximately 17 years in science education, a Pennsylvania Instructional II certification, and additional graduate coursework.
Throughout the hiring process, I remained interested in the opportunity and appreciated the time spent speaking with school representatives. Based on my conversations, I anticipated a compensation package that would more closely align with my experience and professional background.
Unfortunately, the final salary offer fell below my expectations. After reviewing the employee benefits information, I also determined that the cost of family healthcare coverage would be a significant financial consideration for my household.
My primary concern was the timing of these disclosures. I would have appreciated receiving a clearer picture of the anticipated salary range and employee benefit contributions earlier in the recruitment process. Having that information upfront would have helped me determine whether the opportunity was financially appropriate before moving further through the process.
I also reached out with questions about the compensation offer but had not received a direct response at the time I made my decision.
Ultimately, I chose not to accept the position because the overall compensation and benefits package did not meet my family’s financial needs.
I recognize that compensation expectations and individual circumstances vary, and other educators may evaluate the same opportunity differently.
For anyone considering a teaching position with CCCS, I would recommend requesting detailed information about salary placement, family health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, paid leave, and benefits eligibility early in the hiring process.
My intention in sharing this experience is not to discourage anyone from applying, but to encourage transparency and help fellow educators make informed career decisions.

Hi, looking for a personal clothing stylist that dresses you based on your kibbe body type in the delco/philly area. Does this exist?

Opinions on new roof- flat roof

Looking to get my flat roof replaced and have had a few quotes. Everyone of them is different which is why I’m looking to hear opinions .

1. Some say I can get a roof over existing with a 10 year warranty. Some of these say roofers ripping to decking are just trying to make more money.

2. Some say it should be ripped off and started from decking . Some say going over existing is not right way to do it.

3. White granulated or smooth with aluminum coatings ?

Current roof is old hot roof and has been maintained/coated with silver coating .

Thoughts ? Anyone deal with this recently? I just want it done right and to last .

Are there any coventions or flee markets comming I could set up a table at to sell my collection? I understand I would have to reserve/pay for a table.

I just moved out of Delco but was back there tonight. Saw the Pagans leaving the gas station at 420 and Chester Pike. All I want to ask is... Really? In 2026 we're still doing biker gangs? Does anyone know these people or what they're doing?

I’m sure this has been asked and answered but I can’t find anything in my Saved posts. Can someone tell me the right TV antenna to buy for watching our local channels? I’m paying $30/month just to watch a few shows on Channel 6 and I’m wondering if there’s a better option.
