Sharks on the Beach smoothie from Wawa

I was not expecting this to look as good as it did lol

Edit: the smoothie had ice cream base, blue raspberry syrup, salted caramel syrup, crushed up graham crackers, & gummy sharks. It kind if tasted like marshmallow though.

The drink is 16oz (ounces). I have small hands and the photo angle was weird, so it looks bigger than it was.

I want to start a petition stopping the Delaware County Council from buying or using Flock cameras and data centers.

A few weeks ago we saw some people using the initiative and referendum process to try to guarantee minority representation on the Delco council. (See: https:// upperdarbynow.com/news/bid-for-referendum-on-
delaware-county-council-minority-representation-falls-short/)

We should use this same process for Flock cameras and data centers. I propose we amend the Home Rule Charter as follows:

Delaware County and its departments and agencies shall not:

1. Purchase, lease, operate, maintain, or contract for the operation of automated license-plate recognition camera systems; or

2. Purchase, lease, own, operate, maintain, develop, construct, or contract for the development or operation of data centers.

(edit: fix typo)

Anyone have good recommendations on small local bands for a gig?

My boss is looking to host a public event at my work with live music, and I wanted to get some recommendations on local bands! The genre he is thinking of are classic rock, blues, and/or jam band. He would prefer if the group would do more covers, but original work would be fine. The event would be in the Glen Mills area on September 25th. If the bands have a website or any contact info, please link it as well. Thanks!

Dryer Repair Recommendations

Does anyone have any recommendations for an appliance company that can look at and possibly repair a gas dryer? It’s making a clicking sound at the start and not completely drying the clothes. Trying to avoid buying a new one. Just had to buy a new washer last summer. TIA.

Recommendations for Daycares near Drexel Hil

Hi :-) I’m looking for daycare recommendations in the Drexel Hill/Springfield/Havertown area for my 2-year-old.

We’re currently at. Rising Stride Drexel Hill but I’m considering making a change. My biggest priorities are consistent staffing, appropriate teacher-to-child ratios, structure/routine in the classroom, good communication, and low staff turnover. I’d really love somewhere where the teachers get to know the kids and there isn’t a constant rotation of different staff in the room.

I’d especially love to hear from parents who currently have toddlers enrolled somewhere they’re genuinely happy with. Where do you love, and what do you love about it?

Thank you! ❤️

Looking for a bar

Years and years ago I went on a date with a girl to a country western type dive bar where smoking was still allowed. Nearby was an old school joint serving burgers for like $1 apiece, where you sit at the counter facing the kitchen and the griddles are in the middle.

For the life of me I can’t recall the name or location of either place, but we were definitely in Delaware County.

Any help?

Plumber Recommendation Aston/Upper Chi area

I am having an issue with my sanitary drain, I think it’s related to some sod work that was done in my front yard near a clean out. Looking for someone local who could come out today before I call one of the big commercial guys.

Thanks!

Got figs

I had a friend that had a huge fight tree, we used to get the biggest sweetest most delicious figs from the tree every year. The friend moved. I went back and was going to ask the new owners if I could grab a few figs. But they cut down the tree 😢 I know someone else has to have a fig tree and extra figs just getting wasted.

Low Hanging Wires - who to call?

Save your Ghostbusters references. I have a couple of wires that hang down to about 5’ off the ground between my property and my neighbors. All of the usual suspects PECO, Verizon, Comcast, etc have claimed that the wires are not theirs and can’t do anything about it.

Who can I call to find out whose wires these are and how they can be tied up higher?
