Not to beat a dead horse or stir up an argument, but the lot they're building on at 43rd and Chestnut has been vacant for at least 13 years (when I moved to this neighborhood).

It's probably about time that the grungy stores left there consider finding a new home. Under the El in East Kensington or Germantown Ave in W Kensington would be great spots for a new "South St" type destination. |

Oddly enough, the newer building, Abbot Square has been neglected, seems to be the most blighted but things should turn around after the renovation. That will be a majot factor, or it should be.

While it is possible to restore original base facade, I recall the articles indicated that facade was not conducive to modern usage/remarketing demands. Perhaps some new generation will demolish the prospective 21st century entrance and restore the original, when appropriate. Meanwhile. I am beyond pleased this building is being saved and reinvented. |

Royal Theater (South Street, between 15th and 16th)
Has anyone noticed that they started demolition and digging at the Royal Theater site, South Street between 15th and 16th? I assume they will build something in front to hold up the facade while they demolish the rest. Anyway, I am happy to see this under way, even though it isn't as great a project as it could have been...

They are doing some kind of renovation to the little lowrise retail strip next to Collins Park that houses the GNC and a few other stores. Off of 17th and Chestnut. At the least, a facade renovation. Not sure what else they may be doing. Haven't heard any noise.

Parking under the Ben Franklin bridge
Hey does anyone know anything about the to-be parking lot under the Ben Franklin? Anybody know when they'll begin work or finish up?
