Looking For An Apartment?

While I'm a "house" kind of gal, I found this website about apartments. This website contains a list of apartments and how other people have rated them.

Apartment Ratings.com

Even though there's a section for Philadelphia apartments I just put a link to the whole website (never know who's reading my blog and from where). Maybe you have a rating of your own that you would like to post.

I know that there are some apartments in Philly with some real high rents and the city is always building more! Most people I know couldn't afford to pay the high rents that some of these places charge. Hopefully if you are looking for an apartment you'll be able to find something that you can afford.

WURD

Like I posted previously radio station WDAS is no more. I don't know if they are keeping the same call signal but their format has definitely changed. From what I remember the last time I listened to it it was urging people to "tell all their friends" about the new format - which I think is something like playing and promoting new and local artists - I'm not sure.

So I have since come to find out that there is another talk station call WURD and they call themselves "the information" station. They are very similar to what WHAT was in that they talk alot about the community, community news with listeners calling in. I think the owner (Cody Anderson) is the same guy behind WDAS! They are located at 900 on the AM dial and unfortunately depending upon where you are located the reception will not be clear all the time. I can get them pretty good during the daytime hours but not on all the radios - so it has a lot to do with where your radio(and its antenna) is located. But they also have a website (and a message forum) so you can listen to them via your computer.

Now I have to go and find out how WDAS is doing................................

Did You Hear About Rite Aid?

I was surprised about it when I heard it on the news! I found out that they are talking about the stores in NJ only - not the ones in PA. There is a lawsuit against Rite Aid because they sold baby formula that had expired. Over-the-counter medications and other baby foods were also being sold that had expired. The reason why this caught my ear is because there is a Rite Aid near me that I shop at (and no I haven't bought any baby formula there or anywhere yet) and because I used to work overnights at ShopRite alongside the people that stocked and restocked the shelves. I hope this doesn't give them a bad "rep" because I know how hard they work. Rite Aid says that they are going to "re-train" their staff - another not too good sign.

They are also being accused of fraud pricing tactics such as charging a higher price than what the shelf price of the product was. Again Rite Aid said that they were going to "re-train" their staff. You can read the full story by going to:
