SEPTA Stupidity In Springfield — Once upon a time the SEPTA Route 101 trolley made all stops on the north side of Springfield Road at this station in Springfield. A while back, some genius decided it stop on the north side for trolleys bound for 69th Street and on the south side for trolleys bound for Media.
This means a round-trip commuter is always going to have to cross the busy street once whereas before the street would rarely have to be crossed.
Note the “do not cross” sign that directs one a block away to a crosswalk which makes sure the automobile traffic gets sated before one gets a walk signal.
Did any of the brilliant thinkers every consider that one rushing to catch a trolley might not be inclined to do things properly and risk a rather dangerous crossing?
The reason for the change was supposedly to take advantage of some parking. The second picture is the north side parking lot during the morning rush hour, today, July 11.
Not very strong thinkers are running things. Perhaps the idiocracy has arrived.

Video Of Illegals Bathing In Creek Blows Up Delco Council Meeting — Delaware County’s illegal alien crisis simmered through the evening, July 3, as citizen after citizen implored County Council to act.
It exploded at the end when James Small displayed video of illegals bathing in Darby Creek at Springfield’s Rolling Green Park.
Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther, who had been just been blasted by a Springfield woman for being “so smug”, sent things over the top when she rather smugly told the crowd that Rolling Green wasn’t a county park. They should take matters up with Springfield, she said.
The meeting was soon called to a close.
Springfield, June 18, banned bathing in township parks to address the problem.
It was bizarre Ms. Reuther couldn’t get that this is everybody’s problem.
Small, of Marple, noted that two white vans filled with apparent illegals have as been seen at the Wawa on Township Line Road, Upper Darby. This is a few hundred yards from the park.
Earlier in the night, Charles Alexander of Marple told Council that it will be tarred and feathered if an illegal commits a murder in Delco He noted he has video on X of bathing by apparent illegals in Darby Creek.
Gary Rider of Marple said illegals were an obvious burden. They swim in the creek naked and cause car accidents.
“How can you let this happen in this county?” he asked.
He noted the tax burden illegals cause
“(US citizens) don’t get $1,200 a month and free medical,” he said.
He pointed out that children who don’t speak English are flood Delco’s schools and taking teachers from the children of citizens.
Carris Kocher of Concord said if sheriff’s department began using the power granted it, it could resolve illegals.
A woman who described herself as a teacher and mom asked council to protect elections and its citizens from those who come here illegally.
Tom Flocco of Media said millions are illegally crossing the border.
This means poor Americans will remain poor for generation, he said.
He accused Councilwoman Elaine Paul Schaefer of pushing hard for illegals to come to Pennsylvania and noted she was a board member of the local HIAS chapter. Illegals get free treatment at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital and are the distributed throughout the county, he siad..
Tevin Dix of the Drexel Hill section of Haverford called council liars for denying that Delco was a “sanctuary county”. He thanked God for Alexander and his video.
“Your party wants to live in a fairy tale,” he said. “You are going to use illegals for votes.
He said he was praying for them.
Sharon Devaney of Haverford noted Delco was obviously a sanctuary county and its getting worse and worse. She said she had just seen a frail 70-year-old man thrown in jail for a minor bail violation while the illegal who crippled her in a car accident seven years ago was never prosecuted and remains fancy free in the county getting free stuff.
She said she saw on the SEPTA busway in Ardmore an apparent illegal with his arms and face covered with tattoos. Face tats are a gang sign.
Rosemarie of Marple said there was proof of illegals and blasted Council’s dismissal of their concerns. She said they weren’t listening and just “hoping we go away”.
Nobody has a problem with legal immigrants, she noted.
A woman from Media and a man defended Council’s policy regarding illegals.
A video of the meeting can be found here.
And here is the video presented by James Small that turned the meeting upside down.
Charlie Alexander addressing the crowd, last night. That he faced the crowd rather than Council would bring forth a smug comment by Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther about public comments being open mic night. It basically is Christine for three minutes.
Springfield Bans Bathing In Parks — The Springfield (Pa) Commissioners at a special meeting, June 18, passed ordinances amending the township code banning swimming and bathing in township parks and setting curfew hours from the 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. excepting Friday and Saturday nights and eves of national holidays when it will be 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Could this have anything to do with the reports of illegals using county waterways for baths?

We can’t recall these stores ever being vacant albeit the Block Jewelers/State Store has probably been for about a year.
Thank you, Brandon and thank you Delaware County Council. As Councilwoman Christine Reuther said three days ago, why worry about sinking bond ratings, soaring tax hikes and deficit spending.
Thank you Democrats everywhere.
