I am moving back to Philly next week (actually, I am getting my GF and my dogs and stuff and moving THEM to Philly next week) and we are moving to Manayunk. I used to go to Manayunk a lot back in the 90s but haven't been for decades. Tell me, what are the best bars there today? The dives and the places with the best food. Also, best game day bars (any sport).

I’m 57 and I just wanna drink some beers and play pinball. Years ago I used to go to Barcade up in northern liberties but now I’m staying in South Philly. I was wondering if there’s any good places around down here.

As I said, I’m kind of bedridden because I have a busted knee and so I thought I would take this time to dive into opera. I want to actually see the operas as well as hear them so I’m looking for recommendations of good videos for operas online. Right now I’m mainly interested in 19 century, romantic style operas. Italian or German. Thank you in advance for any recommendations, you throw my way.

I shredded my knee this morning and I think I just gotta suck it in and go to an emergency room. Which ones should I avoid?

Not sure how to word this, but here goes:
I just left a K-12 music teaching job at a Title 1 school in a VERY rural area in the west. The pay was not enough, nor were the benefits. The kids were damn close to feral, as well.
I have moved to a large city on the East Coast, where I have few friends who say they can get me into the city school district. Higher pay, better benefits.
However, I have a master's in educational technology and have done a TON of online teaching, curriculum building, and development. I did this for a few major universities. I also have 2 bachelors and another masters (music history).

I am wondering if I should go for an instructional design job (risky) or go

I am posting this on behalf of my GF (46), who is moving to Philly from CO. I am already here and getting a job with the PSD but she is having some problems finding work as a grant writer (her main gig.) In the meantime, she is an excellent bartender who has worked AND managed some high-end cocktail bars in New Orleans. Where are the high-end places in Philly? We checked out Grace & Proper when she was here (awesome place, by the way), but we need other suggestions for places where she might get some part-time work.
Appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

So I am moving from Colorado to Philadelphia. I’ve packed my subsequent 37 CV already as well as my matriarch. I also have an osmosis. I have to leave a few things behind because this is only my initial move and I’ll be coming back to get my girlfriend and the rest of my stuff in a couple months. So my question is do I pack my grandmother, my Korg opsix, or my Moog sound studio?

I am a band director so flute is not my first instrument. I have a student who is just beginning on the flute and the first note they are trying to learn is B flat 4. They occasionally hit it, but it is very wispy and weak sounding. But the real issue is that they keep going up to B flat 5. Any advice on how to fix this? I am assuming it is an embouchere problem.

I am a K - 12 music teacher in a rural Title 1 school district. Pay was terrible, and the benefits were a joke. We had no union and a really high turnover rate of both teachers and students. It was really an awful job (although I did have some really great colleagues and students)
The minute I posted on various social media platforms, offers started to come in - I am a music teacher, and I have already been offered performance gigs and private lesson teaching at different schools and colleges. I am also moving to a major city where there is better pay and more opportunities.
Why am I saying this? Because when things get so bad, there is always a way out. Let people know you are available
