Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

Welcome to Philly!

Look online, I do a co-ed intermural soccer league over at U-Penns campus. It's a great way to meet people

Welcome to Philly! I also just moved from LA!! Philly is super walk able and has a lot of beautiful parks. Happy to share some thoughts through DM.

I just moved back as well after being gone sometime! If youre into beach volleyball, I've always played pick up games on the sand courts at Drexel's campus - people are friendly and some are very decent players.

Also Heyday Athletic has paid leagues that run on a set schedule.

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

I have to tell my parents that I got engaged this weekend.
