Philadelphia immigrants afraid to report crimes

The mission of the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) is to fight crime, prevent crime from occurring, and improve the quality of life for all Philadelphians.

Complete novice looking for a fiddling instructor

I'm new to BallyPhilly and I happened upon this site while looking for instructors in the Philadelphia area who teach Irish fiddling. It has always been a goal of mine to learn to fiddle and I am looking for an instructor in the area. I live in Media, PA but am willing to travel. I am a complete novice (at 34) to the fiddle/violin, however I am able to read music. Thanks.

Irish Immigrant’s Legal Handbook

For starters, I am an Irish immigrant that arrived on the shores of Philadelphia on July 4th, 1988.
I point this out because I am very familiar with the challenges associated with immigrating to America.

For the past few years I have been tinkering around with the idea of creating an “Irish Immigrant’s Legal Handbook,” which would include basic, yet vital legal information pertaining to Immigration Law, Criminal Law, Real Estate Law, Landlord Tenant Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law and… Continue
