Recommendations The DELCO Homeowner/Renter resource guide thread

69 Upvotes

We have gotten a lot of repeat posts and the Reddit search feature sucks so we wanted to create a resource for everyone here. The point is to keep discussion to here so we can use this thread to point recommendations out.

In this thread I will write a comment, please reply with recommendations and/or avoidances (everyone is free to start a comment with something that was missed).

Please only upvote the recommendation if you have experience with them!!

/r/delco_politics /r/delco_politics for prolonged political discussion for locals

67 Upvotes

Hello everyone, the sub historically has had a no politics rule. This rule was mostly respected and voted to keep it. Obviously, this has not been fully enforced recently. We have tried to allow as much discussion as possible but it gets to the point where it’s an unfortunate screaming match at each other. Not to mention all the you know what hats that apparently have tags or bots set up to flood these threads without any post history in the sub. You don’t see these due to the spam filter but our poor asses have to read every single one of these comments and determine if they are brigading or just saying plain stupid shit, my iq has gone down. Anyways enough complaining.

Introducing a new sub, /r/delco_politics for now we are leaving it open for all political discussion. We prefer that users post their thread there then crosspost here. Discussion will be restricted to /r/delco_politics. These will be determined as posted, we will still allow local politics posts here, if they get too off topic or going to the national level, that’s when we will lock and move discussion to the politics sub. The reason why we lock them up is because insults start getting thrown around, don’t forget we are a local sub, you could potentially be talking to someone living on your street. We are all angry but calling each other names is not the way to go. Please use the report feature as that helps us. If you get a mute or ban it is because you have a long mod log and we have been keeping notes.

Finally we are looking for a new mod for to help out with /r/delco_politics if you are interested send us a mod mail. As always we are open to feedback!

Trying to buy a Sierra 1500 truck. I've seen the commercials with "Delco Dave" and Cole Hamels. Just curious if they're worth dealing with or if I should go somewhere else.

Recommendations Radon

60 Upvotes

Please continuously monitor radon levels in your home. We live in an area with very high radon, which is a leading cause of lung cancer. Short tests are not always telling you what you need to knows radon fluctuates with weather so a low test on a clear day doesn’t mean you don’t have an issue.

Food 9 prime west Chester Wagyu

0 Upvotes

This is a question specifically for anyone that’s had real A5 Wagyu at nice places before. Like maybe barclay prime or somewhere in NYC

How does 9 prime stack up in terms of how they handle their A5? I’d like to take a friend for their first experience and if we could avoid a trip into the city even better

Recommendations Southeastern PA budget wedding venues?

5 Upvotes

I just started the search of venues as I want to lock something down for fall 2027 and then do the rest of my planning throughout the year. So I’m looking anywhere between here and Lancaster or even south into Delaware, and I just can’t find a nice venue for less than 5K or even less than 10K that doesn’t require you to pay for their caterer. I have fallen in love with all of the mansions with gardens, but they’re huge and expensive and I only have less than 100 person guest list. I love the idea of Willow trees and an outdoor ceremony that’s not on like a golf course. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to check out?

Hey everyone. I’m looking to join a swim club for my son and I in summer 2027. I know it seems far away but I know that they have really long wait lists and I’m just wondering if anyone has any good swim clubs they know with a wait list that isn’t years long. So if any of you know of a good swim club please let me know!

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CAGkxPZHc/ Posting AI pics of your food is one thing but WTF is this? Trying to make Putin fun and an Eagles fan is just so wrong and people should speak up. I'm guessing Netanyahu will be promoting the flyers next and Dolans will be offering free beers to anyone that's killed an innocent civilian
